Where? Last week they caught a pick pocket at City Hall station.

Right! I have no idea if this indeed was what the police were up to—but if so, it would certainly make sense, as the police were moving through crowded carriages on the blue line heading west, and doing so conspicuously.

Dunno about you guys, but in Xindian we have had a lot of people dressed up as reindeer or Santa’s helpers. Today I saw someone dressed up as a Christmas tree.

I’ve heard people having costume parties for some reason.

Are you sure it wasn’t just a Christmas tree?

That’s a bit like the response I generally get to the question “What do ghosts look like?”. The answer is “People”.

A Christmas Ghost Tree?

FWIW, Zhonghe station is all but open for business, the lights are on and the crawl boards are working.

They are done! They are done building the circular line. Now, testing.

Eric Who?
Oh that was the guy that was our mayor for the last forever years…Good to know.

I have no idea how they are building the SanYing line, in bits and pieces, a little there, a little there between DingPu (they started putting up probably the connecting station) station and the freeway bridge near HengXi, nothing, nil. than a bit, a few pilars, than nothing until the bridge that goes to the BeiTa university area. Maybe some land issues, owners wanting the bottom of the can.

C’mon, man…he’s the great blue hope! Almost as awesome as Korean Fish.

Far from circular! A slice of the circle is a better way to say!

Yes you can see the next section is still a few years off. Enjoying the peace and quiet in Xindian before the dirty hordes from Zhonghe gain entry.

It always takes ages for them to finish the entire project.
