The Week in 1s and 0s (or pictures stolen from chinadaily.com.cn)

If you're interested in reading world news from an Asian perspective, there are a couple of decent English language newspapers including China Daily, despite being based in Beijing it seems to be fairly balanced. English language newspapers tend to get away with being a lot more critical than their native counterparts. Apart from the usual stories of Japan failing to give any compensation to Chinese forced labourers it also features a spiffy photo gallery, from which I have raided a rather low effort roundup of the week.
Top story has to be little Jian Bing, who despite being the tender age of four, has taken up smoking. His other past times include: hanging out with his dad and friends, cracking open a beer and occasionally soliticing the odd prostitute.
The usual eclipse fever grips the world while Ehud Olmert becomes the new Israeli PM with promises to pull out of the West Bank, hopefully Hamas will play ball and stop blowing people up
Some geezer protests about beef, I would care if I wasn't top of the food chain and something was trying to eat me. But we are.
Fashion week in Sinagapore kicks off, something about balloons makes me feel good
John Howard and Tony Blair looking remarkably smug. Despite both being proven to be total liars and the recent news that Tony gave peerages in return for vast sums of money
Dubai continues its quest to build the most extravagant buildings in the world, this one will be the tallest in the world and is only part of a 500 acre development
This just looks cool.
