Maybe it's the other way around: people who are inclined to decorate their work spaces with green plants are generally happier to start with...
Either way, I'm gonna go buy one right now...

Please let the Chinese you meet there know what you hear about Tibet outside China. The Chinese government has controlled everything people can see and hear on the internet/media, that the only news they give to the Chinese people about Tibet is: all Western medias are purposefully distorting facts about Tibetan riots, and that the Chinese troops are the victims under the violent Tibetans. They do not mention anything about peaceful protests of the monks or anything against their image. Because of their tight control, a lot Chinese actually believe everything they claim.

Most Chinese, including myself, don't support the independence of Tibet. But the heavy media control and demonization of Westerners is really bad for people inside China. It distorts their concept of the world, and is simply unhealthy. I tried to argue about it on a Chinese website and the post immediately got deleted because the government also has control over all the popular Chinese websites and forums. The site owner can either do what the government says, or get closed down. It's that simple and effective.

So I think whenever we can influence and change how people in China thinks, no matter how few of them we touch, we should do it.

Can someone recommend a contractor for installing shower doors? I'm located in Long Island, and on a budget. Desperately need help!

Does anyone have experience with SELF-ADHESIVE towel hooks such as the one here:
http://www.blomus.com/blomus.php?l=en&a=detail&i=68571 ???
I'm wondering if this will work on 4x4 glass tiles?
Because I don't know what to do with my towels!!! My contractor sucks at doing ANYTHING with glass tiles. I don't want him to even attempt drilling holes on my tiled walls fixtures, what do i do...

The legs between the two are no comparison! Why would I pay more than 100 for a bad rip off?

Nice place and those expensive furnitures! Although the view shown in the first picture reminds me of doctor's office, with both couches lining too snugly with the walls, especially the love seat. Is it possible to free it out of its tight hiding alcove somehow?

I know they must be well-made and all, but they still look like super cheap tin serving-trays to me. I can probably find a bunch of look-alike trays in grocery stores of poor suburban areas of China.

It's so not a sculpture, just a Chinese word, "temple", that was probably hung on the door frame of some temple and got threw away for renovation. You could certainly use it as "art piece", but it would look hilarious to anyone who understands Chinese/Japanese.
