China in motion: Snow in Shaanxi, Citroën Transformers and Fenghuang Gege


Left: The gods must be crazy. Due to sudden cold winds descending upon Shaanxi (陕西), it's already started snowing in Yulin (榆林) and Yan'an (延安). In some parts of town, 3-5cm of snow has been recorded, and meteorologists are saying that snow will continue to fall over the next five days. Here's another clip uploaded by someone else. Snowboarding, anyone?
Middle: Inspired by the blockbuster hit Transformers which has earned over US$650 million at the global box office to date, three youngsters by the name of Duo Lulu (隋鲁鲁), Zhang Yiming (张一鸣) and Li Wei (李伟) in Nanjing have spent RMB60,000 and three months to turn a Citroën C2 into a 4.5m-tall Transformer which they have named 'X2'. The guys at Citroën are loving the publicity and have even put the Transformer on exhibition at the Nanjing Auto Show and by the looks of it, the media are all lapping it up.
Right: Phoenix Princess or Fenghuang Gege (凤凰格格), the pre-op transsexual detained in Shenzhen for going on demonstration and recently announced that she would soon undergo sex-change operation is apparently very happy with her boob job. She's just uploaded a video of her posing with her entire (it would seem) repertoire of bras, attracting over 407,000 views within a single day.
