Protesters, Police and Diplomacy
It was a beautiful day for a protest. The sun was shining for the first day in what feels like weeks, the smog had lifted, the sky was blue and it wasn't even too hot.

Chinesische Oper
Habe mit meinem Motorola SLVR Handy 30 Sekunden gefilmt, damit ihr euch ein Bild von der Oper machen k nnt - Pardon f r die schreckliche Qualit t: So, jetzt stellt euch diese Szene 180 mal so lang vor, dann wisst ihr, was ich da ertragen musste....

The Octopus, the Pirate and the Naked Lady
China s Johnny Depp fans are on tenterhooks. Will they see his latest release, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man s Chest , on the big screen? Or must they wait for the pirate DVD of the latest pirate swashbuckler? It all depends on whether the movie that smashed box office records when it opened to U.S. audiences at the weekend sails into the same rough seas encountered by several recent Hollywood blockbusters deemed unsuitable for Chinese audiences....
