Free meals for lasting love from a restaurant in Guangzhou trying to pass the message on to young people that love should be cherished more.
IMMA (Irish Museum of Modern Art) has an exhibition called Dreaming of the Dragon's Nation: Contemporary Art from China. Looks like somewhere I will be for the afternoon next weekend.
More than we are, they spend a fortune buying imported pumpkins, partying, dressing up. It's amazing. Here, I think the weather has dampened the booms and bangs of fireworks.
A sim card vending machine, it's so cool. Wish they had it while I was over there over the summer. Not that it is hard to get in the first place, off to the nearest phone shop, ask for HK$100 card, and all you need is a phone, and you are set. Now with a vending machine, so quick and easy!

China will be introducing a new rating system for games, books and movies.
Online games will be divided into five categories: games suitable for all; those for junior high school students and older; those for high school students and older; those for 18-year-olds and older; and those for adults

So HK has avoided typhoons over the month of September, but check out the tornado at Chek Lap Kok airport
If you are lucky to be in HK, there is an outdoor project design that can be viewed until the end of October. Project is due to be ready early next year.
Hanzi matters is a funny site where Chinese words are misused/duped in the West (like tshirts, tattooes). Good laugh. It's like when you see Chinese t-shirts misuse the English words with hilarious results, although not intentionally.
