[Covergaard]

China runs program for just 48$ per day for people, who suffers from internet addiction.

WWASP and Aspen: Go home, you are not competive!

Even a shock system similar to Judge Rotenberg Educational Center (http://www.nospank.net/jrc-2.htm) is included in the price.

When are they first children sent off in order to achieve education in an international environment?

[nimdA]

China has been shipping their kids off for decades to be educated internationally. Now its becoming a reverse trend of sorts. Korean parents ship their kids to Korean ran boarding schools in China to avoid having to pay the hideous cost for a Korean education.

[TheWho]

They are in the final phase of developing an on-line version for those kids who can?t travel to the clinics.  They are going to try to introduce this at $0.25 per day and as they accumulate an installed base of 10,000 kids or more they plan to slowly increase the price enough to become competitive.  They will also be introducing a Step Program and chat room to encourage peer to peer help, there will be one moderator per 15 kids.  There will be incentives, for example if a child works the program consistently and averages more than 6 hours a day they can get a price break, discount coupons for KFC, origami paper compliments of new partnership with Zig Zag and Philip Morris.  Special ergonomically designed chairs for the children have been donated by NATSAP to help prevent kids from developing early back pain.

Zig Zag??  WTF??  Hempire should be their partner here.  Let's not neglect the environment!

Chinese people only care about MONEY!
I am right now sitting in a Chinese "internet cafe".
They go on about how they are worried about their kids playing too much internet,but thats a load of crap.
This place Im in is just like all the others across China.
FILLED TO CAPACITY with idiots playing games.
Now consider that I am participating in this forum on an ordinary public computer.
These people,aged 14 to 30,have every opportunity to look at any kind of news UNBLOCKED (except ANY news text with the words "Tibet" or FauLonGong" will be blocked).
Its the rare person listening to music,chatting with a friend or watching a video.
You would think the authorities here would encourage,OR REQUIRE,these people occasionally learn something productive on computers,but they are only interested in the money they rake in.
Think of the most scummy disgusting public telephone receiver you have ever seen,then multiply that by 10,thats how greasy and slimy this computer is that I am using now.
They wont even lean over and spit in a waste basket,they just spit right on the floor.
Most of the letters are rubbed completely off the "W" "A" "S" "D" keys,because those are the only ones they need to play the games.
 Dont believe anything you read about China trying to improve their situation.
Its about MONEY,and MONEY NOW!!!

TSW can describe the very comfortable clean internet cafe in Korea.
"Sir,would you like another drink,or perhaps a nice Nong Shim Cup-O-Noodle".(NongShim instant Udon is my favorite,in the Black and White styro bowl)

Actually I think you are thinking more about the internet cafes in Japan. The ones here in Korea are dark little nasty holes that I refuse to go into unless my computer has completely exploded. Though.. I have to admit.. the internet cafe I used in Yantai China had a charm all of its own with its 100 degree farenheit heat.

Now the ones in Japan are piiiiiimp! Telling you.. cubicles with a chair that reclines into a bed. You can rent videos.. books.. games.. anything you want there. Full climate control.. Most of them have bans on smoking. This means you can sit in them and actually use the damn thing without having the insides of your lungs paved in a tar like substance from second hand smoke.

Obsession with money I believe is a universal condition, but seemingly all the more of focus to the Chinese given the fact they have gone so long with so very little of it.

"They are"?
"They will"?
THIS IS FUCKING CHINA WERE TALKING ABOUT!
You only know what you trowel up on the internet.
Where did you cut-n-paste that crap from,directly from the CCCP?

EVERYTHING  the Chinese say is about "SAVING FACE".
They dont even expect the rest of the world to believe their crap!
They only say it so their citizens will hear it,not for us.
 
Example:
The Chinese go on about how they are fighting BIRD FLU,but every bus I ride not only has passengers carrying live chickens,but they pack boxes full of them in with the luggage.
In the market where I buy my groceries,they keep live chickens (and other live shitting/pissing/bleeding animals)on the floor,SHIT EVERYWHERE right next to fresh fruits and vegatables on the floor,and everything is wet.
Im not talking about some backwater village,they do this in every city.
The other day a woman came on the city bus,the one everybody rides around town, with a live chicken,tied up feet,and the chicken laying on her lap,and her daughter sitting on the floor of the bus,resting her head on her mother's lap using the live chicken as a pillow!
Maybe 10% of Chinese people "look like" you and I (civilized human beings),the other 90% being peasent farmer types,but of those 10%,only about 0.0009% behave like civilized human beings.
Its like dressing a monkey up in a man's clothing then expecting it to walk upright.
Ask TSW about Koreans,far more sophistocated than Chinese,but still uncivilized monkeys in human clothing.

Prices:
China $-0.25 per hour
Korea-(about)$1.50 per hour
Japan-$3.00+ per hour

OH,they have money in China,its what they spend it on that worries me.
The Chinese government is only interested in the tax money they rake in.
They do not care what you do in your business as long as they collect the tax.
Do you remember the "hair shops" you saw in China,the ones with the red light inside?
These are prostitutes,right out in the open.
I have inside information,and you would shit your pants if you knew the REAL rate of AIDS in China.
Theres a real touchy feely poster in my hotel that basically says "Please dont avoid people (the prostitutes in this hotel) just because they have AIDS".
Its like those posters you see in Korea boasting about how they "love dogs".
I was carching a bus from Pusan to Seoul and a WELL DRESSED young woman wanted to get on the bus with her new puppy in a box.The bus driver refused and told her she had to put it under the bus,IN A CARDBOARD BOX,with the luggage.
She pouted a bit,in that special was Korean girls pout,then shoved the box under the bus.

They have those hair shops/barbu shops all over Asia in one form or another. I didn't notice any in Japan, but then they have their signs for 20,000 yen for half hour girl shops right out on the kerb with the room salons. That was in Osaka, saw the same thing in Fukoka. I've heard even better paid pleasures of the flesh exist in Tokyo. Never been brave enough to go find out.

Here in Korea the rate of AIDS transmission is absurdly low. Why? Because according to the Koreans only foriegners from Nigeria have aids. Prolly some truth to that, but none the less the way those dirty buggers go a mongering away in Itaewon and other red light districts right along with the koreans it only makes a person wonder how true that is. That and the whole Korean businessman vacation to thailand to "play" golf.

Now China I found a delightful country. It is dirty.. backwards.. uncivilized. Bejing bored me right up until the point I was nearly mugged by two thieves on the street. After that it didn't take to long to figure out where to go to find a good time and it sure as shit wasn't anything to do with those lame assed Great Wall tours.

Yeah the average Chinese person is coming into more money then they have seen in a good long while. Yet that money is for alot of chinese a recent phenomenom. Most of the peasants are still off the farm by a generation or just having come from the farm to the city to find better paying work.

*** Hah... the Korean girl pout.. classic. My students give me that one all the time... "Teachah..... **pout** Game?"

I live on the border with China and Laos.
Here there is a lot of AIDS.
Thailand is full of AIDS.
In this city,I know many familys that have AIDS.
The Chinese guy travels to Thailand for sex,catches AIDS,then brings it home to his wife.Very common and well known in this part of China.
What is little known is the AIDS in North China.
I frequently visit a city in ShanXi Province that I will not name here.
This is a weapons manufacturing/coal city,and is a very communist city,if you visit there you feel as if you are in a time warp,its the China of 30 years ago,but very orderly and clean.
There are always whispering about the sex industry there,lots of visiting businessmen there.You have dinner with your friends,go to a sauna,then a "karaoke".I asked my friend about this so he took me to have a look.
There are four or five of these place in this city,about 100 rooms each place.A sex supermarket .We went to one place,drove through the gate,and inside there were at least 50 taxis,each room with a big window and girls.I have never seen anything like this anywhere.This place was HUGE,and there are five of this kind of complex in this city.Mind boggling!
Some say there are 5000,000 AIDS case in ShanXi Province!
FOREIGN DEVILS!Recently China was bragging that they are taking action against problems like SARS,by screening "foreigners" before they enter China (actually its the other way round,now when you enter Korea coming from China they march you in front of a heat camera,and the ferry no longer arrives to GunSan or Pusan from China,all ferry must enter at InCheon).
China always blames the foreigners for bringing this stuff in to China and they can not accept that THEY bring these problems on themselves.
If the authorities told the truth to the citizens it would "hurt their feelings",its about SAVING FACE.

You are pretty far south. The farthest south I went was Shanghai and decided the humidity was to damn much. Went north immediately upon arrival to the nearest Train station.

Yeah sounds like AIDS and china is the same story all over Asia. Saving some face to not make themselves look bad domestically and internationally.

Gonna be going back to China next year I think. Not sure, but I definitely will be going by ferry this time and taking my time touring the entire country.

Why anyone would go mongering in Thailand or Laos is beyond me. ...Jesus christ.. they might as well change the name of those countries to the united Aids republics.

Vile little holes. or many many many many vile little holes for that matter.

Keep an eye on our China Travel Thread (Facility Questions) and Ill tell you about some good places to see in China,without backpackers.
I know everything about everything about traveling in China.
Maybe we can hook up if I come to Korea in a couple of weeks.
I will ferry to InCheon,then Seoul to Pusan.

[nimdA]

You visiting or heading down to Busan for work?

Either way lemme know when you touch down in Incheon. I'd be happy to spring for a few rounds of Soju shots and gamtagang.
