Love with Israel - a Chinese girl blogs on Israel

Discovering new Chinese blogs on Israel is always fun. Yangzi Lazar is a Chinese girl who married an Israeli guy and has followed him to live in Israel. Her Chinese blogging is a bit too difficult for me to follow, but the little reading I was able to do was very interesting. Her latest blog entry - “有好人,才有坏人 - some people are good, some are bad” …

Chinese Blogosphere Awards: My recommended China blogs

Chinalyst is hosting the Best China Blog Awards. The awards are split into a few China blog categories and you can cast one vote for as many blogs as you want. I believe this is an excellent opportunity for some Chinese blogosphere link-love. 
Although there are many wonderful China blogs out there that I follow regularly, here’s my personal China blogosphere recommendations that I enjoy regularly (in no particular order):

There are some really excellent blogs in this category. I strongly recommend reading and following all of those, and still…

Here’s a little taste of what we’ve seen and where we’ve been to: Jerusalem City of David - South to Old City Jerusalem “Where it all began” - City of David (Wikipedia) is a 3,000 years old city where the bible’s King David established …

Quick notes about the Israeli blogference

The Israeli blogference was a 2 day conference about the local and international blogging world. I arrived late at the end of the 2nd day with my personal Taiwanese blog-expert. I didn’t attend any of the seminars and presentations, but still - here are some quick notes about the short time I was there:

How many Chinese men, what did the policeman do and why?

The German version says three, but in the Hebrew version one of them got lost. The German version says the policeman asked a question, the Hebrew version he drove them away. Help me find where one Chinese man went missing to and how come the policeman turned aggressive.
When I grew up, my parents loved to play this singing game with me (Hebrew, followed by English):

שניים סינים עם כינור גדול
ישבו בצד הכביש ופיטפטו בקול גדול.
בא שוטר, גרש אותם, וזה הכול.
שניים סינים עם כינור גדול.
2 Chinese men with a big violin,
were sitting at the side of the road and chatting loudly,
then came a policeman, drove them away, and that is all.

The game was …
