			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I&#8217;m somewhat of a New Yorker myself&#8230; born in Morningside and matured (somewhat, actually maybe not) in Brooklyn.  So I know me a block party.  Close&#8230; Converse set this one up on Moganshan Road with head-lining musical act Jeru the Damaja, a legendary 90&#8242;s underground MC.  I&#8217;d seen him before in NYC, but never this close and this out-of-step with his listeners&#8230; but that&#8217;s not his fault, that&#8217;s almost solely the fault of the Chinese.</p>
<p>The police department shut this party down early citing &#8220;noise complaints&#8221;, which is utterly hilarious in it&#8217;s own right, never mind the 24/7 construction (even at 6am on Sunday&#8217;s), or the constant car horns, or the firecrackers outside every wedding or business openinig, etc. It&#8217;s just sad that the police/government has to clamp down on any form of creative expression, especially in concern with things they don&#8217;t understand (like music and art; or just life in general). Jeru said it himself when someone shouted out &#8220;f*ck the police, f*ck the government&#8221; to which he replied &#8220;yeah, you can say that, but I surely can&#8217;t say that sh*t cuz I still gotta get outta here.&#8221;  True.</p>
<p>Anyway, about the pics&#8230; some stuff with graffiti, some &#8220;typical&#8221; NY food, a dope MC, and some dude getting his hair cut (which for some really strange reason was a massive success with the photographer/videographers in the crowd).</p>
<p>Peace &amp; Love.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stopover in Rotterdam&#8230; yes I lived there for several years, but the reason for this [quick] visit was [no] thanks to KLM and Schiphol Airport.  Who both told me I could come to the airport (a week after I had arrived) to pick my suitcase.  The 2.5 hr drive from Antwerp up to Amsterdamnit proved to be pointless as I was told by airport staff upon arrival that my suitcase &#8220;had not yet been located&#8221;, then spending the next 2 hours looking through several thousand suitcases&#8230;.  I eventually got my baggage back 10 days after I arrived, literally minutes after finishing packing my new suitcase to fly back to Shanghai.  Thank you KLM.  Thank you Schiphol.<br />
For nothing.</p>
<p>Anyway, these images are from the quick stopover on our ways north (for no reason) in Rotterdam, we hit up the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Rotterdam" target="_blank">SS Rotterdam</a>, a popular cruise ship built in 1958, since retired and transformed into a restaurant and hotel.<br />
Also, a big thank you to Rotterdam&#8217;s finest who gave me a parking ticket within the hour of arrival there&#8230; for having &#8220;all 4 wheels on the sidewalk&#8221;, pictures attached (keeping in mind all the cars to my left are legally parked).  <em>Holland: where we give out traffic tickets like no where else in the world </em>(my personal favorite is still the &#8220;speeding&#8221; ticket I got for going 53 in a 50 kph zone)<em>.</em></p>
