Kung Hei Fat Choy!! Happy #ChineseNewYear! !!

Its the year of the Horse! !! Yay!!
I like horses. So here are some things to know peeps!

Heads up so if you know someone born in the year of the horse here's some things about them. They're bit like horses: animated, active and energetic – they love being in a crowd, independence  and they have a straightforward and positive attitude towards life.(cont'd)

Also if you were born in a horse year its said you should avoid those born in the year of the rat, ox, or rabbit....hold up but I was born in the year of the rat....well there goes friendship opportunities. Anyway you're in good company.  Year of the horse people include  Aretha Franklin and Cindy Crawford.

So enjoy! Have a couple drinks, or a lot, just dont go crazy cuz that would be weird.

Let there be ICE!!! #Harbin

It's  January 2014 which means the Harbin Ice festival in China is in full effect. This is a Chinese city known for its cold weather, even notoriously colder than some Russian Cities. Every year, Harbin  scults a city entirely out of ice.

A tourist attraction for sure, ice is used to build sculptures, skyscraper look-a-likes, and animals using tools normally used for building construction.

Next time you're in  China be sure to check this out!

Wait a minute...Isn't that fake??

Okay everyone, hold on to your chairs, because this is just TOO funny!

So in China, the labor capitol of the world, Knowledge competency is being questioned, because many of the grades and even degrees are (wait for it)...FRAUDULENT!!
Yes, people, you may have heard about that girl who put out to pass her exam, or even the group of students who plagarized sections of the news paper to turn them in as their own, but aparently these kids look like church choir members in comparison to what's been going on in China.
It has been reported that many of the diplomas are fake. Even the recommendations to universities by professors have been...fake. If this doesn't surprise you then don't worry about the next research study coming from China, because apparently, many aren't legitimate as the researchers....just fill in the blanks themselves(!!) (head back laughing).
Okay okay, so what's going to be done about this? Well according to The Economist, many students are applying to Universities overseas, because the officials accepting applications just don't trust that their records may be legitimate(this is the time where you lean back and say "hmmmmm"). So what does this mean for the students coming?
....Okay people Abeg, don't start asking your Chinese class mate what their SAT scores were and if they are legitimate(wagging my finger).Fraud takes place everywhere, but as a Nigerian it's just good that Nigeria wasn't the country in question. I guess this is how China feels when they judge us. Shame shame shame...
