New Career Choice in China: Rental Boyfriends!?

2/11/2014

0 Comments

 
I guess this happens in all cultures! 
Not only do young Chinese women have to fret about finding a home to rent, they gotta worry about finding a boyfriend to rent!  Societal & family pressure is so strong in China for women to be dating an eligible dude that females be resorting to hiring gigolos, er I mean, "rental boyfriends" to trick their family and co-workers! - especially during the Lunar New Year.  Why we gotta be so hard on women!?

Why China's Big O is a Big O-No! (They're Sayin' Its Nouveau Riche & Gaudy!) 

1/23/2014

0 Comments

 
This building in China was supposed to represent the circle of life, circular harmony and golden prosperity....Well, people are claiming it's one of the ugliest structures in the world and a symbol of low brow taste! What do you think? Are people just jealous of China's meteoric rise? Or is it really that fugly?!  The Atlantic has more:
...the Circle Building is perhaps the country's largest single manifestation of "Tuhao Jin" (literally "gold of the unrefined and wealthy"), a viral term lately used to mock the country's nouveau riche.

The term has been applied widely to what many Chinese consider garish displays of wealth

What's the Secret to China's Hot Property Market? Mistresses! 

10/11/2013

It ain't uncommon for Chinese officials and bizmen to have a mistress or two. In fact, one recently convicted dude kept 18! That's a lot of apartments and has bolstered the housing economy per Aeon! Lotsa these women are from the boonies and are installed into pied-a-terres near their sugar daddies' home/work. It was estimated in 2010 that 200,000 mistresses were living in Beijing alone.

Time-Lapse Video: Hotel in China Built in 6 Days! Is that Safe?!

7/30/2013

0 Comments

 
How is this possible?! Safety standards are lax, materials are cheaper and undocumented underpaid migrant workers work 24/7.  Oh and "Chinese construction projects are prone to bribery and corner-cutting, and the resulting structures typically do not last very long".

Can they be that clueless? Or is it just a product of Communist sexual repression? The censors are on full block in China, but HuffPost has more of this X-rated filth!

Oh No! Hong Kong Real Estate is Unattainable For Its Residents

5/24/2012

0 Comments

 
From afar they look like cool wallpaper but up close it's anything but cool. It is tragical & ironic that in one of the wealthiest cities in the world, 47.7% of Hong Kong city residents must live in public apartments (government subsidized housing) because they are unable to purchase private housing. What is worse is that only 6.8% of Hong Kong land is devoted to housing use for 7.07M denizens! The rest of Hong Kong can be developed but the powers that be have prevented that. There is some major socio-economic political shadiness going on.  ChinaSmack explains.

China Tops Worldwide Real Estate Market w/ Astounding 111% 5 Year Growth!

4/29/2012

Picture
MSNBC highlights the top 10 cities with fastest growing global real estate markets. Asia dominates 1/2 the list with Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong & China.    I ain't trying to hate on the motherland, but something is suspect. Hong Kong & China are #2 and #1 with 93% and 111% growth, respectively. But Israel is #3 at 53%?! The difference is just too wide.  I hate to burst their bubble, but a bubble is brewing in China/HK!
