Support a fledgling artist for Christmas

So…

Was looking at my favorite websites and discovered this.patreon_site

Support new industries, enterprises and artists.

Yes, if you feel like you have a few quid in your pocket, you can become a benefactor.
All in need of cash, the reward could be a link of their website to offering to write a song for you (that would be nice).

As us in the creative industry know, funding is often a problem to organise and to make consistent.

Choose anything

For $1 per month, you can offer your support.

They have a large database of projects and artists.

I am currently supporting one of my favorite website where the advertisers have pulled out.

Pokemon it ain’t

The publishers pulled out, but apparently it has massive support.

On it’s removal-

Moreover we don’t treat this as a failure because yet again this showed us a huge community support we’re totally overwhelmed with.

It’s funny to here these people talk.

Anyhow, check out the video. Continue reading “Pokemon it ain’t”

Skipping games

This is where all the students and teachers alike go and enjoy their morning sun.

There were many girls skipping. So I decided to make this video of them skipping their rope.

As you can notice, they are very nervous and shy.

Many Chinese schoolgirls are like this. Continue reading “Skipping games”

Top 10 apps for visitors to China

If you’re planning a trip, or maybe living there as an expat, these are the apps you’re going to want to have installed to your phone to get the most from your experience.

They are my

Top 10 apps for China

Hanping Chinese Camera - china-app
1) Hanping Camera

Takes pictures of text and converts them to English language. Used it quite helpfully on the train to Guangdong, it will have problems if your phone doesn’t have a good camera or if you’ve got shaky hands.
I went through the entire interpretation of the Chinese menu with a Chinese girl, and it got them all correct.
Can’t be bad!
