British school
The kids recently started school here in Shanghai at a British school called Dulwich College. Its a branch of a British school. The kids are each assigned to one of four "houses" that compete against each other in different contexts, which they think gives a Harry Potter-ish feel to the setup. Anyway, the uniforms are a bit different than the Batman shirts that they might be wearing in the U.S.

A Hot Liver trustworthiness
I recently bought some prescription eyeglasses at an enormous eyeglass mall by the main train station here in Shanghai. It was a big building, about four stories high and every floor had probably 20 different glasses shops on it. If you want eyeglasses, this place is definitely the place to go and its very cheap. I ended up buying some glasses at a store and they gave me an English business card that they had proudly printed. Just yesterday, I was flipping through some papers and came across the card and noticed the text on the back for the first time, which you can see below. This is probably the roughest translation I've seen since I've been here. I don't know about you, but I generally don't associate Hot Liver trustworthiness with anything as mundane as eyeglasses.
