This weeks idea: Private Cinema, Popcorn and the choice between two Movies.
The incredible Hulk vs. Speed Racer (if i remember right)
Well it wasn´t really a choice - at least for me - because it was IMDB rating 7,5 vs. 6,5. I´m not sure, if all my colleagues decide this way, still it turned out that [...]
As I really enjoy faceyourmanga and joined a group on flickr to post your avatars I came up with the idea to manga the whole office. That might take a while, but you’ll find the result on the “the NetCircle collection” on flickr. Here are the examples so far:

I thought it´s funny enough to take a picture of the big billboard in Shanghai with this unintended advertisement, but I recently found out that there are people who actually find it a lot more funny and so I´ll share it here with you.
Being in a very sporty mood these days, we decided to host the Big Post Olympic Pool Tournament (BPOPT). The exact date will be announced soon. So if you happen to be in Shanghai and feel like hanging out at our office at Suzhou Creek, have a beer or two and challenge us in [...]

So theres a fight between the English speaking Original being translated into German wanting its piece of the German pie and the “original German” clone. Sometimes the German clone even adds English and tries to enter the territory [...]
If you watch it at all.
I remember “Public viewing” in Germany for all the football events. So I was searching for something similar here in Shanghai. I’ve heard that many people will gather at people square but considering that about 20 million people are living here that might not be enough.
So what do people do? [...]
Yesterday I tried to explain social media to a friend and ended up confusing everybody. Inspired by ProBloggers Social Media Love in I drew a chart, sorting out my social media services and their connections:
To me that looks like a lot but whoever uses that stuff know that thats easy to handle. But I didn’t [...]

It was also a Goodbye for our Chinese and English Teacher Luca who is about to conquer North America with her endless patience. Thanks for everything!!!
