STUPID SHIT LIKE THIS SHOULD STOP. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT ABOUT EBOLA HERE!!!



        In New York, two kids from Senegal are being bullied by their fellow students calling them names like Ebola and even physically hurting them. 
        During their gym class, kids would say stupid shit like, "Don't touch the ball. If you touch the ball we'll get Ebola." 
        They would get beaten by stupid little asshole kids who punched and kicked them until someone FINALLY intervened.
The kids had to go to the hospital to get their wounds look at by a doctor. 
And while the NYC's Department of Education and NYPD are "investigating" the "alleged attack" (Really?? You're gonna call it that....ugh makes me sooooo mad) this is not the only case of discrimination with students from Africa who have already live here in the U.S. but people are stupid and immediately assume they have it too. 
        Ahem.... sorry, this stuff makes me mad!
        In New Jersey, two Elementary students from South Africa were supposed to start school but parent's of this New Jersey schools (possibly an uneducated lot that don't know how Ebola ACTUALLY spreads) pulled their own kids out of school. 
        And though the kids had ZERO symptoms of the disease and were from an totally UNAFFECTED side of Africa, dumbass uneducated parents still persisted to run (with pitchforks) to complain to the Principal who in turn temporarily suspended the two kids for 21 days of "quarantine" and were ordered to "remain at home until the 21 days of quarantine are over." 

        Now let me set the record straight for everybody out there who doesn't know their ass from their cheek about this virus. 
And I am not making this up since I'm going by what the CDC (Center for Diseases Control and Protection) has stated on their website about the Ebola virus.

First of all, 
YOU CAN ONLY CATCH THE VIRUS BY HAVING DIRECT CONTACT WITH BLOOD OR OTHER BODILY FLUIDS OF A PERSON WHO HAS THE EBOLA VIRUS.




I will simplify what I just said in case you didn't catch that.




Avoid contact with blood
 and 
body fluids of any person. 
PERIOD.




EBOLA IS NOT 
AND WILL NEVER BE 
AN AIRBORNE PATHOGEN. 



YOU 
CAN 
NOT 
GET 
EBOLA 
FROM 
BREATHING 
THE SAME AIR AS SOMEONE WHO IS INFECTED 
(like say an airplane, cab, a bus, a school, etc)

MORE FACTS ABOUT EBOLA VIRUS:
Ebola was first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Since then, outbreaks have appeared sporadically in Africa.
Researchers believe that the virus is animal-borne and that bats are the most likely reservoir. Four of the five virus strains (Ebola virus, Sudan virus, Taï Forest virus, and Bundibugyo virus) occur in an animal host native to Africa. The fifth strain (Reston virus) has caused disease in nonhuman primates, but not in humans.

And before you throw away the meat in your freezer, you need to know what bush mean actually means too!! 
BUSH MEAT refers to meat from non-domesticated mammals, reptiles,amphibians and birds hunted for food in tropical forests
THIS IS BUSH MEAT. (Careful, following this link will lead you to graphic images of dead animals)

Gulangyu Island

Gulangyu. It is no secret that this city is one of my favorite destination I have been to so far. According to China Daily, Gulangyu is the 2nd most visited tourist attraction after National Museum of Beijing. Main reason I love the island? No cars. No buses. No bikes. One of my favorite houses in the whole island. I mean, sure the island police have a little electric golf cart and as does a couple of the expensive, luxury hotels that reside in the island. For packages and delivery, there are men who walk with a large wooden cart like some sort of ox plowing through a field, except its not a field but a pavement and its an uphill. The people are welcoming, nosy and curious yet very laid back. Its a slow pace of life here with a population a little over 200,000 people. And almost everyone and their uncle is some sort of fisherman, or businessman. People's home's are open and sell just about any trinket you could think of. Especially ice cold water and popsicle...

At last! Taizhou, my new City and more!

Image
Hello my lovies! I am sorry for any lack of updates. I moved into my new apartment and the Internet was not properly set up. But now it is! And I have so many updates to post for you! So keep an eye out for them! Now back to our regularly scheduled program! TAIZHOU!   Pronounced Tie Joe. This beautiful city is absolutely something I never would have expected to live in. With just a little over 5 million people, Taizhou is a mix of new and old held by traditions and customs as well rapidly growing industrialization. It has been over a 13 days since I arrived and I am still blown away with how incredibly accepting people are. Of course I get stared at. I stick out like a sore thumb. Mostly everyone here (especially the women) are slender, while I, on the other hand, am the complete opposite: I stand taller than most Chinese women (even some of the men) and have a whole lotta curves!  For example, here in the picture, this is Mrs Wang, (known to me offici...

Supermarkets in Taizhou

Image
It's relatively easy to say that supermarket in China are just like the ones in the U.S. Heck, I've been to supermarkets in Mexico AND France and its pretty much the same thing there too. While there are a few differences here and there, the basics are still there. Imported produce and also pricier. You go in, find what you need, buy it, leave. Of course 95% of the things that they carry are China brands. They do have things from other countries like Pocky from Japan, and American candies like M&M's, and even Ferrero Rocher and it's expensive. I doubt anyone buys it. The vegetables here are cheap. Most are locally grown and are sold straight from the harvester to the Supermarket. One of the differences about supermarkets here is that no food ever gets thrown out. It may have mold or lost some leaves, or old, but it will get sold...at a lower price too. People actually look out for these old "clearance" produce especially the older generatio...
