Summer Trip
Yahoo! No I'm not advertising for the dot com site but I just booked airfare to go to Detroit. No, I'm not staying in Detroit but will be driving up to Toronto, then Montreal, then back down to Niagara Falls and finish up in Cleveland where the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is located. My buddy from overseas is back for a short stay and will be going too. I'll post pics when I get back but I don't leave til mid July which is prob the next time I'll post since I've been busy up the wazoo lately.
Little Emperors Must Dance
From this
article:
Obesity is a growing problem in China, and the government’s new solution: mandatory dance classes, in the hopes that students will boogie their way to a slimmer waistline.
Chinese students, nicknamed "Little Emperors," have been growing chubbier by the decade. They are on average more than 2 inches taller and 6.5 pounds heavier than they were 30 years ago. Many Chinese blame the problem on the influx of Western fast-food chains – you can’t walk a block in a major city like Beijing or Shanghai without spotting a McDonald’s, KFC or Pizza Hut.---------------
So if they are called Little Emperors and they are still thinner than the kids here, what should we call the kids here, Chunky Chubbies? In 15 yrs, heart disease will be China's #1 problem.
