We see nearly 5000 ads a day or more seems like a lot but consider for a moment every single ad from labels on the back of a car or bus to bicycle to the supermarket. Obviously and hopefully people don't go shopping everyday but look around at work school every place you look it is hard to not see ads. Ads have become a sort of graffiti damaging the natural beauty of the earth. What would life be like a 1000 years ago or even a hundred years ago.

Summer vacation is nearly almost over and I have been spending my time in southwest China from August 3 to 21. I have to say dispite all the talk about the Beijing olympics it must really be "Beijing"s olympics and not really Chinas because here in the south you would never really know if or when they are going on as most people are just minding their own business. If you don not have a TV then all the better.

The weather report for Yulin calls for light rain with a low of 19 and high of 26. Quite a difference from last weeks temperatures of 9 degrees but more rain just means more added humidity in the air. I was thinking perhaps if there was no rain we will not get the hot humid summers this place is used to. Not that I like them it just Yulin will not be the same without the sauna atmosphere. One reason for all the greenery is the result of all the rainfall as well. So I suppose we cannot complain at that much about the humid climate.
