Consumed...

ive become consumed by the neil heywood case.  for those of you who have not read, neil heywood was a british man living in china since the 1990s.  towards the end of last year he turned up dead in a hotel room.  i suggest you read more in the BBC if interested.  the WSJ and FT have a bit of coverage as well but i found the WSJ coverage to be too sensationalist.

in other china news, there is a good article from the FT here about their image issue (down to #56).  i have to say, this quote made me chuckle:

Debbie Cohn, of Long Island, was more sceptical. “They don’t look friendly, they look very stern to me,” she said.

they dont look friendly - i feel the same about long islanders and B&T'ers in general - haha, LOVE IT.
