I'll be living here during my study at Peking University. This is Chang Chun Yuan, apartment complex for PKU teachers and staff (some students). It's directly opposite PKU West Gate, very convenient to Uni and to my fav dining hall =)

Burning questions
A dear collegue of mine sent these questions to me awhile ago and they have been haunting me ever since. I'd certainly want to test some of them out, the less crazy ones of course. What do you think?
Can you cry under water?
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Why do you have to "put your two cents in"... but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?
Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
What disease did cured ham actually have?
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?
If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Why do doctors leave the room while you change?
They're going to see you naked anyway.
Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?
Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?
Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane ?
If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours?
They're both dogs!
If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?
If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?
If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?
Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?
If you have sex with a prostitute against her will, is it considered rape or shoplifting?

Need sleep ... zzZ.
I only had 4 hrs of sleep last night before 5 Monday chaps decided to knock on my sweetdream every 30 mins or so. Why couldn't they all come at the same time?! Anyway, one of the Monday chaps delivered my original letter of offer from Peking University needed to apply for my study visa. The rather-hard-to-please girl at the consular office seemed satisfied, so I should be able to pick up my visa in 4 working days.
I started my first forex trade on IG Markets platform. Other than a human glitch of my own negligence to learn the software before jumping into a trade that almost decimated my profit standing, the initial experience with IGM is so far so good. Plus, earlier the thoughtful chap from IG Market called to check up on me while I was riding the bus into dreamland.
Highlight of the day had to be dinner with my dear at TBG (a tiny Korean eatery tucked away in the city) the food is absolutely yummy ^_^
Tomorrow, I'm going to ECU to get my Hep A/B shot and possibly Typhoid too. The thought of needle just excites me so much ..................... NOT!
