And Salary Combined.

Lets say that we are in Belarus and drinking with a dodgy, middle-aged, sweating, singlet-wearing mobile phone salesman. He has just raised his glass to toast our soon-to-be lucratively profitable multinational yet partially legal trade of used Soviet-era mobile phones to a Lithuanian copper…

G'day everybody

As we are all quite familiar with the particular music choices of the Chinese in our haunts and taverns, with their unique and sometimes misunderstood style, I would like to start something quite new and unique myself. It involves you - yes you!!!

We need you to help us create a playlist which will feature permanently in Mahatma Jack's Bar.

What do you need to do?

Submit your 5 favourite pieces of music. Just five. Not the bands or…

I was working with my students on the sounds animals make and came up with this list. I know there are more, so add to it if you can.

Ta.

Horse - ney
Donkey - eeeoh
Snake - hiss
Pig - oink oink
Dog - woof
Cat - meow
Owl - hoot - my favourite.

Go on, add some more.

Ok Boys and girls, we are doing well. But we are not doing half as much as we should. Where are the representatives of the Middle East, where are the nomads of the Mongolian steppe, where are our dear friends from central Asia, where are those from the sub-continent and where are those of lesser known dominions. Bring forth your tongues and present them at the altar of truth.

So far we have;

A much beloved and respected couple who have been here in the Chun for some time have decided to get hitched. They announced it at Granpas the other night and I for one am bloody happy for them. Lets put a do on for them. But first, I leave it up to all of you to guess who they are. If you know the answer, please dont give it away. Broohahaha. Allow me to start off by saying that it is not me. Brooohahaha!!!!!…

Hello one and all,

Here is my contribution to the great stock of literature and verse that has come to pass giving the English language it's gravity, it's genius, it's staying power.

Although the darling of world languages has its place firmly set in all far and distant corners of the world, and maintains its place at the highest levels of human existence, in government, in business and indeed in the farest of reaches of space unto which man hath dared to travel, its…

The Chun. It's a spiritual place you know.…

I was with my old mate Pierre the other night at Granma's havin a quiet brew, and we got to talking about national anthems. We both agreed that the Russian National Anthem is the best. Really powerful stuff. I also added in that the French, although somewhat violent in its lyrics, is a crackerjack anthem.

What do think?

Pick one, but not your own nations anthem, and the first country to reach, lets say, 10 hits will be the winner. I start the ball rolling at The…

This is just a quick appeal to the notably generous choonie community. A mate of mine lost his iphone today and is looking for a replacement phone. Not an iphone. Just an old secondhand simple one. We're happy to buy him a cheap new one but would rather ask everyone else first. Happy to pay too.

Back in oz i had about 3 old phones lying around and have lost about 10 in my…

What a joyous feeling. 

I see pools of water and street vendors somewhat scantily clad.

A taxi passes, its passenger window half cocked.

A smoke store greets me with an open door and ice chunks falling from the 3rd and 4th floor wake me from slumber.  

Pools of water and melting ice; has winter passed?

Tonight I walked, as I have so often done before, from Happy Home to…

I want to know if there is anyone in this town, the Great Chun, who can teach me how to play the violin.

I don't have a violin, but am willing to purchase one. Hiring is also an option.

I have been without music for too long now.

I know there are people in this town who can play, I HOPE THERE THOSE WHO CAN TEACH HOW TO PLAY.

Happy to pay, gunning to play, want to start today.

Anyone interested....?

After you have heard the violin in its full…

I would ask that no one contact me for about 3 weeks. As that would be sufficient enough time for me to mourn the passing of our beloved leader and father Kim Jong Il. At present I render my garments and wail in dark corners. Champagne also seems to be helping.

How would one go about posting a blog on CCF, that is 4 pages long?

I tried to but all my text was scrambled.

These computers.

Bah!
