The First Full Day

Below are some pictures of the day. The major non-shot event: a gigantic Billboard of Mount Rushmore. And when you’re finished with the pictures, a quick blog note: Catholicgauze was linked to by Little Green Footballs. Congrats!

The Flags of Two Countries. One is a godless, statist regime facing economic stagnation and demographic decay. The other is the People’s Republic of China.

Economic stagnation in France ? What a good joke..All the statistics show that France will be the N°1 Economy in Europe in a few decades… And France is actually, in 2007, one of the wealthiest and richest country in the world… Well France will n°1 in Europe Thanks to ?? Its birth rate, the highest in European Union after Ireland…So, i don’t think that “facing economic stagnation and demographic decay” is accurate…Please, reads some stats before post some hilarious stuff like this, that’s really a PITY ! Haha your lack of culture make me lough so much thanks !

Adrien,
Thanks for stopping by, and for the comment!
I’m unaware of data showing that the French economy will exceed the British economy in a few decades — could you post the link?
I’m aware of a recent bump in the French birthrate — I wonder of the demographics, though (France of course not reporting racial or ethnic information in her census). A France which grows bigger only by growing increasing Islamic may not be in the best interests of European civilization.

Younghusband,
The apartment and the neighborhood are just gorgeous. It is in north-west Beijing, near the Chinese Agricultural University. More pictures have since been posted
