A Taiwanese man’s private part was bitten by a snake while using the toilet; his p**** suffered minor injuries without long-lasting effect. Chinese video below, of the snake being captured from the toilet bowl…
Korean pop star Lee Hyori was mobbed by Chinese fans and press at Shanghai Pudong International Airport when she arrived on April 22nd for a short visit. From the fancam seems like she was pretty petrified with the mess… [via K-popped]
Hmmm, where’s the bodyguards? It’s poor management from both her Korean agency and the Chinese organiser. It’s common sense that they need to beef up the security for a star of Hyori’s calibre; and I guess they probably didn’t bother to notify the airport management for special arrangement.
Credits to a few of the fans; they did try to persuade the rest to clear some space, but most were not listening obviously.

Music video of “I Love You”, an English song by Taiwanese singer Joanna Wang from her debut album “Start From Here”, released in early 2008. It’s a cover of David Tao’s mandarin song, “Love is Simple”…
Joanna’s unique voice has been a revolution to Chinese music market; the album was quite a hit and if not mistaken, among the top five best selling albums of the year in both Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Despite the success, the singer has in a few occasions mentioned that she’s not a fan of the album, because it was not showing her true self.
Her subsequent album, “Joanna & Wang Ruo Lin”, which was released in January 2009 is supposedly showing more of her capability not just as a singer, but also a songwriter with her own ideas; will share something about in future.
Mandarin music video, “Meaning of Travel” by Taiwanese artist Cheer Chen from her “Peripeteia” album in 2005. Some of the scenes were filmed in Okinawa, Japan…
The song is about a fading relationship; the girl was wondering what’s the purpose of her boyfriend’s frequent travel, only to one day realised that it’s because he wanted to leave her but unsure of breaking up officially.
Taiwanese singer Huang Yan Lin, popular known as Ah-Sang (or Ah-Sun), passed away on Monday morning (Apr 6) because of breast cancer. She was 34.
Sharing one of her hit songs below, “Leaf”, released in 2003. I’ve always love her singing; she will be missed, rest in peace…
Cold Stone Creamery, an ice-cream parlor franchise from Arizona, USA, is known for its mix-ins and lively service culture where the workers would sing a tune or two when tipped by the customers.
Tipping is not common in Asia though; so I guess the staff would probably sing along whenever they feel like it. Sharing some videos of the staff in action from Cold Stone Creamery outlets in Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan…
Japan – Forget ice cream, the girls are champs…
Chinese music video “Compromise” (妥协) from Taiwanese diva Jolin Tsai’s latest album, “Butterfly”. Popular actor Ethan Ruan co-starred in the MV…
The song is about how the girl compromised on almost everything to keep her lover, but still ended up losing him… and probably losing her inner self.
Beijing police have detained twelve people over Monday night’s (Feb 11) massive fire at the unfinished headquarters of China Central Television (CCTV) which resulted in the death of a firefighter and seven other injuries.
The building is part of the iconic CCTV tower complex and is to house CCTV’s cultural centre and the then nearly completed Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
Initial investigations suggested that the fire was caused by illegal fireworks by CCTV. Fireworks are generally allowed at the traditional Lantern Festival, the last day of Chinese New Year; but the fireworks that caught the fire was dangerous and needed approval (which CCTV didn’t get) before being allowed in downtown Beijing.
