Tidbits

I wrote a post recently about a Web site featuring Chinese nappers. To ruin the fun and save you the time of looking at all the (hilarious) pictures, the point of it was: Chinese people can sleep anywhere. Like on bicycles, park benches and rocks, and usually in a really awkward position.

Anyway, here is a more specific group of nappers: Internet cafe goers passed out by their computers. I’m not sure why you would go to a wang ba to sleep, but with all the trimmings they offer now (blankets, comfy sofas and chairs, fruit), why not?

On another instance where a fun story I wanted to do has popped up before I got to it, Shaq has been “buddha blessed.” He’s practicing kung fu with a bunch of Shaolin monks in Henan. Chris and I had wanted to do a story on a Shaolin martial arts training camp at some Shaolin monastery. It’s 8,000 yuan a year for everything: the training, the lodging, the food. Would’ve been cool to see how rigid the program is.
