r and the business.
Temples auction the right to be the first one to light incense in the new year – I heard from the cab driver that a certain temple auctioned off the 1st spot for 170k rmb (~$24k USD!).
Here are some highlights from my trip!
Check out all the people at the temple on the 1st day of the new year waiting to light incense!
Lots of old style buildings getting torn down…which I think is unfortunate
A Chinese New Year fair… saying that there are a lot of people here would be an understatement
Crickets in a gourd – I am not really sure how they get them in there
Paper art – these are all paper cutouts!
You’re supposed to eat dumplings for the new year – so here is one filled with sesame seeds.
Seated ice-skating for lazy people
More incense burning
The local polar bear club
A local Beijing eatery – Mmmm….internal organs
Chairman Mao looking as fine as ever at Tiananmen Square
The front gate to the city
Beijing map – the city is basically square with the forbidden city in the center. It’s a pretty logical setup with higher numbered ‘ring’ roads as you move out from the center. Ie. the 3rd ring road is farther away from the city center than the 2nd ring road
A restaurant offering 爆肚 (bao-du) which means exploding stomach. Yet another Beijing delicacy…but I didn’t eat it
Another restaurant offering donkey meat
For 10 rmb, you too can ring this bell 3 times. Supposedly if you ring it 108 times your worries go away.
Cool looking lion
I am not sure why people were tossing coins at this thing
…I guess this sign wasn’t very clear, it says “please do not toss incense or coins”
Grass that look like worms
Expensive ginseng
Bird’s nest – for eating of course
Egg pancakes
Clockwise starting from the left – cold tofu in sesame oil, fermented green bean paste, fried dough, fermented tofu soup
My buddy giddy in anticipation of eating the duck’s blood (currently in a jello-like state)
Noodle twirling – who needs a noodle making machine when you have this guy
I’ll cheat a little and include pictures from my last trip (which was from a few years ago)
Forbidden City
Great Wall
Yeah, easy for you to say.
Today, I opened up our application to my friends and started soliciting their feedback. A part of me is relieved that we made it this to milestone, but to be honest, my mind is much more preoccupied with “what if this app sucks and no one likes it?”
Of course, this is the prefect time to heed the advice of “don’t be afraid of failing,” but put it this way. After spending months of time, money, and effort and telling all your friends about it, failure seems that much more devastating. Though, the irony is that the risks are actually lower now than they were when I first started, because at least now I have the beta version out. But the truth is that once you put yourself and your product out there for all to judge, the stakes feel much higher.
Anyway, this got me thinking, are some people better at it coping with this fear than others? What about people who’s taken the big risks in life and failed? Are they more risk averse because they know how crappy it can be to fail? Or are they more immune to it because they’ve already experienced it. What about the reverse – people who’ve never taken big risks? Are they better at coping because they are ignorant of the consequences of failure? Or do they make the failure out to be worse than it really is?
想创业之前我听过好多次,“不要怕失败。”
当然这个理论我很清楚,不过现在已经投入了那么多心血,时间,金钱,加上到处跟朋友宣布了我要创业,失败的后果就不像那么一点小事了。
我正在深思熟虑这个问题因为今天我们的网站推出了测试版。 虽然我比较安心终于有一点成果出来了,但绝大部分还是担心如果没人喜欢我们的产品怎么办?
因为这个问题,引起另外个问题。 哪种人才能够克服这个担忧?失败者或未失败者?不是“一朝被蛇咬十年怕井绳”吗?还是有了失败的经历就会更坚强?

The topic of “do you like living in Shanghai?” inevitably surfaces in conversations with expat visitors and friends alike. I tell everyone I really like it here. It’s true. I wouldn’t rather be in any other city. Those who know me know I have a perpetual grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side syndrome, so this is no small feat for me. But to be honest, even I have bad days where I wish it was a little more ‘refined’ or ‘developed’ for a lack of better words.
The day I put my servers in the data center was one of those days. I’ll spare you the details , but basically it was a string of unpleasant events after another, all of which I think wouldn’t have occurred if people were a little more mindful of their attitudes and more professional overall.
Anyway, despite being super pissed off the whole entire day and having to walk our way back to ‘civilization’ (the data center is a bit out of the way) we stumbled upon a pedicab.
Check it out:
For some reason, riding the pedicab with my co-worker back to civilization (or at least some place where we can actually get a cab) was a blast. Plus, this lady seems really happy in this picture…so that’s all it took to cheer me up. It got me thinking – it’s moments like this that make my life fun and interesting here.
Les I give you the impression that everything is ‘ghetto’ here – here is a good counter-example. What’s the most popular phys-ed class in the top Chinese universities? Golf. (it’s in Chinese – sorry)
Since getting an ayi (maid) I’ve been getting lazier and lazier with chores around the house. It’s gotten to the point where I am even too lazy to put my plastic bottles in the recycling bin in my building.
Then I found out from my ayi that there are people willing to come to you and pick it up. Moreover, the guy not only picks it up, but also gives you a cut of the money he makes from selling the bottles back to the recyclers.
After 3-4 months, I amassed this many crushed bottles. Kinda makes me feel bad about buying plastic bottles. But at least I am recycling…
So for the fruits of my labor…er…laziness, I got this. Who says laziness doesn’t pay
Before leaving on her trip to Shanghai from Taiwan my friend asks me, “anything you want me to bring from Taiwan?”
I couldn’t really think of anything worth toting over because you can pretty much get anything you want these days in Shanghai. So the only answer I could come up with was “how about some taiwanese snacks?” I threw out things like 咸酥鸡 (salty peppery chicken nuggets) or 肉丸 (it’s a big savory meat patty in a rice flour wrap topped with a sweet sauce), but knowing she couldn’t actually bring those, she brought these!
