    Shocking Photos of Cramped Hong Kong Apartments

    I'm not sure how effective the OCP really was or is in China. This is purely anecdotal but I've personally come across quite a large number of people who've had siblings. I remember having a class and casually observing that at least half of them had at least one brother or sister. A few of...

    Miss Asia Pageant 2012, Indo-Russkiye place third

    What kind of girls are you guys hooking up with? They're not the hottest girls in the world but unless you don't have a fully functional pair of eyes, they're not too shabby either.

    Top 10 Airports in the World

    Why isn't O'Hare or Pearson Int'l not on the list of worst airports. I rarely get good experiences with either. Maybe it's just my luck. I have to agree with indianrabbit. I didn't notice any of those things either and thought IGA to be quite impressive.

    How far ahead of India is China?

    Sure per capita tells you that if you take into account expenditures. By itself, it doesn't tell you disposable income. Economics 101: a roast chicken in country A is the same as a roast chicken in country B. But all associated costs of production are different. That's why it's been said...

    How far ahead of India is China?

    Absolutely. Absolute economic numbers, when comparing two countries, are not that helpful in judging how far apart two countries are. That's what I've been saying. It just simply doesn't work that way. There's only a handful of economic metrics that should be considered. Things like the...

    How far ahead of India is China?

    If you look at the banana republics where corporations were encouraged to go into those countries and exploit natural resources that those countries had, the GDP still went up. It's just that the money was going the elite and just made them rich to ultra-rich. I'm not sure if that's the case...

    Gas grill vs Charcoal grill

    Forgot that you have to mix half dry and half wet wood chips together for it to smoke. Applewood or Mesquite is best. NEVER use wood logs that are bound together with some artificial crap. BTW, you guys realize that a gas BBQ still lets you put a layer of charcoal on top of the elements...

    Gas grill vs Charcoal grill

    Gas for me. It's easier to control the heat evenly. If I want a smokey flavor to my meat: 1) soak wood chips for an hour or so 2) place wood chips in foil 3) mix half dry and half wet wood chips together 4) punch holes in foil 5) throw it under the grill Also depends on how many you're...

    How far ahead of India is China?

    It's not so much the economic numbers that matter. It's the social figures. That's what society is all about. It's being able to provide to the population the necessities for growth and prosperity. Even if India eventually outpaces China in economic terms, it won't mean much unless the...

    Nirbhay warms up for launch; DRDO gags its men

    You can't expect DRDO to have something this big and not have any of its men gag.

    @ahfatzia, Damn those are my favorite dishes. I love the chicken feet, pork (roast and bbq), and the duck the most. I think I need to eat some soon or I won't be able to concentrate on work. Some of my other favorites: Fried Lobster with Ginger and Scallions Fried Taro Pork...

    Proof that Russians are genetically East Asians

    I appreciate the info. However, this is important because...? If I find out I'm N or O or R2D2, it won't significantly change my life.

    Not mine but I get to race around in this bad boy whenever I want. Don't do it much anymore(BC bud or racing). I'm domesticated now. Yes, that's me blocked out in the pic.
