The city of Kunming appears to have discovered Pink's "Get the Party Started." I'm completely in favor of other people being infected by catchy songs that previously in my life have been stuck in my head on infinite repeat.
Interesting (but preliminary-sounding) experiment where explaining to hotel maids how much exercise they were actually getting seemingly causes them to get the effects of exercising.
. . . .Basically, almost every moment of their working lives is spent engaged in some kind of physical activity.
But Langer found that most of these women don't see themselves as physically active. She did a survey and found that 67 percent reported they didn't exercise.

Today, while returning a mobile phone, I lost my internal cool for the first time in a long time. The store I bought the phone from has a 7 day return, 15 day replacement policy, but it took a lot of work to return the phone. It all went something like this:
Day 1 morning: I buy the phone
Day 1 evening: I go back and try to return it because of lack of Wi-Fi (I don't have any use for 3G). I am refused after about a half hour of explaining to three different people, but am given an offer to take me to a nearby Nokia Care the next day

Many documents in China need to have a company seal affixed to them (盖章) to make them official. From what I can tell, this involves a normal rubber stamp with the name of the company, and a normal red rubber stamp ink pad that you can buy anywhere.
