Once again we will talk about China. In many auto repair shops of the country, the child lobor is exploited.
These are only kids who come from poor families and have the dirtiest work.
My heart bled when I looked these pictures ...

A bicycle was invented in China ... (4 pics)

A crazy idea became a reality. One Chinese invented the bicycle with the wheels in the shape of pentagon and triangle.
It is more difficult to ride it than a regular bicycle, it takes more efforts.
On the other hand, it allows you to burn more calories)))

Passer by pushed a suicidal person off the bridge (5 pics + 1 video)

This incident happened in Guangzhou, China.
A man threatening to commit suicide by jumping from a bridge was pushed by passer-by!
Lai Jiansheng, 66, said he was fed up with the desperate man's "selfish activity" which caused huge traffic jams, so he pushed the guy over the edge. Chen Fuchao fell 26ft (8m) on to an air cushion and is recovering in hospital, the official Xinhua news agency said. Xinhua said Mr Lai was "taken away by police", but gave no further details.

Consider yourself lucky if you or your children study in beautiful buildings, have nice textbooks, desks, computers and access to internet. In short, this is different from what these children have.
Most of the children in Chinese villages have almost similar conditions. It’s horrible? Without a doubt.

I hope this does not prevent them to drive. At the same time, given the amount of people, they can eat in traffic jam n_tongue

Villagers from Chishui, near Zuiyi city organize quite unusual aquatic competitions.
Instead of boats, they sit down or stand on a bamboo cane and hold races on the Pinzhou River.
Looks like a perfect balance to me, I couldn’t probably stand more than a second n_lol

The scheme of coal theft in railway stations in China is well established.
I would say that there is an entire criminal group, rather large and with its own transport.

Schools in China have a very hard and severe education.
Just look what a teacher from one Chinese school saw when he entered a class room after a pause.

No, this is not a strange name. It is a harsh reality.
The developing countries do not recycle any of plastic packaging; they simply throw it on the streets.
But the plastic doesn’t decompose. Ever.
If it goes like this, soon, we will all sink in it.

Do you remember your childhood? Sometimes it happened when you asked your mom to buy you a toy that you wanted so bad and she said "no", so all of a sudden all your dreams were broken.
Well, look at those little Chinese children and say yourself that your childhood was not so bad ;))

China is known to all for its love of counterfeiting and coping of various things.
This time they decided to build their own sphinx, however the project is only under construction.
It would be interesting to look at it after it’s finished ...

Country where a smile is hardly seen (37 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       27 Apr 2009       58930
News stories about North Korea have been quite frequent recently, with their test launch of a rocket over Japan, withdrawal from nuclear disarmament talks coupled with a threat to restart their nuclear program, reports that their nuclear attack capabilities may be larger than previously thought - and their recent arrest and indictment of two U.S. reporters on its border with China. Even with all this attention, photographs from North Korea are still restricted and hard to come by. One way around that has been for photographers to peer inside from across the border, a pastime that has also spurred a level of curious tourism in both neighboring South Korea and China. Collected here are a some recent photographs, looking into reclusive North Korea from the outside - and some of the reactions these observations induce.

Chinese hospitals and toilets. OMG ;) (10 pics)

I’m speechless. I’m pretty sure that doctors have no right to do this in hospitals because they give a bad example not only for adults but for children too.
As for toilets, I think it’s too much. What do you think about this?
