HK tourist series - Cantonese Opera

My dodgy analysis...

Since Wed, I have been joining the discussions of my team lead and a C++ consultant. To me, it is interesting to observe the interactions between two 40+ married British geeks, especially when I have no male acquaintance from this age-group. According to my dodgy decomposition of their conversation content, 40% is program design, 5% jokes, 5% teasing each other, 5% geek consumer stuff, 40% about their kids, and 5% miscellaneous for a catch-all purpose. In a very excited voice, my team lead narrated,

Max starts to find it funny to drop something on the floor and to watch someone grabbing it up. Later he might as well throw something away like 'Hey! Go fetch it, Daddy.'

Then, the C++ consultant took turns to narrate the story of his son. Their conversation reminded me of my Dads in the 60+ age group, with their most favorite topic being to promote the achievements of their children. An average 40+ man still has his own career or achievements to boast about, an average 60+ man only their children's. This only applies to the family type though... ;-)

Few choices on Ritter Sports: only Vollmilch & Dunkel Chokolade?! 1. Beijinger's MTR is even more crowded than HK's 2. Some language schools offer no French class - so the relationship between China and France has become real bad huh?

"heiße Mädchen"

Original article - Chinese translation: Random thoughts on this heated topic:

1. How many Germans really catch the exact content of this Chinese cover when there is no full German translation?
2. Except the keyword "heiße Mädchen", what makes this article so well-known and widely circulated?
3. The style of the "calligraphy" is a little bit "short and fat", too regular. Why would anyone think this is stylish Chinese characters in the first place?
4. Oh... and the Germans complain they don't understand English too. In fact, Germans are very self-critical
