Rent-a-Boyfriend a Big Hit During Chinese New Year

PHOTO: The most dreadful day of the year for single guys and girls is approaching in a few weeks. No, it’s not the Valentine’s Day. In China, there is a day that can be a hundred times worse than the Valentine’s Day: the Lunar New Year.

During this once-in-a-year family gathering, there is one inevitable question that always comes up and that young adults cannot hope to avoid being asked by their relatives: “So… when are you getting married?

For those who are already attached, this may be a good conversation starter or nice way to segue into the topic of their new significant other. But for the singles – especially the ladies – being asked the same old question each year is just a never-ending nightmare.

Enter the rental boyfriend...



If you look to rent a boyfriend, 301 listings pop up and rates vary from 300 yuan a day to 8.80 yuan, though that gentleman hasn't said if it's an hourly rate.

China has some interesting matchmaking and dating practices. There are love hunters who track down potential wives for China’s richest bachelors and there are “leftover women”, who are criticized for being over 27 and unmarried.

In some cases, when a male dies too young, families have “ghost marriages”, exhuming female corpses and marrying the pair.

So, it’s natural for many young Chinese to want to allay their parents’ anxiety over their single-dom. And now they can take to Alibaba-owned online retailer Taobao, tweets George Chen at South China Morning Post.

That’s the equivalent of shopping for a date on Amazon or eBay.

It was probably only a matter of time before someone saw this extremely awkward season as a potential business opportunity. On Chinese shopping site Taobao, young men have been putting themselves up for “rental” to accompany the ladies back to their hometowns and pay respects to the elders as a “boyfriend”.

Photos of these “rental boyfriends” are available, and the prices are also clearly stated, so you can choose one that fits your budget as well as your parents’ and grandparents’ check lists.

These counterfeit companions don’t come cheap though. Rental fees start from 600 RMB (97 USD) a day, and that excludes meals, transport and accommodation.

Any extra costs incurred during interactions with the elders, such as driving them around, would also be charged to the ladies. Hugs, holding-hands, and goodbye kisses on the cheeks are free, but you can pay a little more for extra services: 30 RMB (5 USD) per hour for shopping or catching a movie (double amount for horror movies) together, 50 RMB (8 USD) per hour for having a meal together, and 50 RMB (8 USD) each time for a formality kiss.

Would you ladies out there want to rent a boyfriend like the one in the picture, or, as one of the Chinese ladies put it, “look for a free one”?

Known as sun- and blue-crowned conures, these parrots were released at Jurong Bird Park's Waterfall Aviary, which was relaunched yesterday.

The 43-year-old attraction - which once played host to Queen Elizabeth II - is now home to new species of endangered birds, and has a viewing terrace for visitors and private events.

Beauty Secrets of the Japanese



Beauty Secrets of the Japanese

What secrets are these Japanese women harbouring that we can steal?
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhifGarmb_R1KIojywDPlj31ooiPa7uObra4dapfBbw6QlAy1imAlgOiF06LqYY9I2ZepvZcYoM84af1swzcagBwXCrJ_NlVgGGUoD7HGjrxBs-lhOhyiFU4eyNMY0OwrKf5u85nwrziLM/s1600/99202515.jpg

We have every good reason to be envious of Japanese women. Not only are they known for their luminous and flawless complexions and looking impeccable (highest standards, faultless) at all times, they also live the longest.

In the latest survey, Japanese women have once again, for the 25th consecutive year, proven to have the highest life expectancy in the world, at 86.44 years. Living longer whilst staying beautiful? What secrets are these Japanese women harbouring that we can steal?



Japanese women, not only are they known for their luminous and flawless complexions and looking impeccable (highest standards, faultless) at all times, they also live the longest.
Here are 5 live-longer strategies to steal:

1. Eat these: Seaweed. The diet of the Japanese is jam-packed with plant-based eats such as fruits, vegetables and soy, and it provides a large amount of vitamins. Seaweed by itself contains potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, iodine, vitamin C, fiber, beta-carotene, and more.

Fish. The Japanese also eat a lot of tuna, mackerel and salmon which contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to reduce the risk of heart disease and breast cancer.

2. Drink this: Green tea. Loaded with antioxidants, green tea has been known to reduce the risk of cancer and osteoporosis. Still not convinced about the benefits of green tea?

According to a recent study, people who drink six cups of tea a day have a 36 percent lower risk of heart disease compared to those who drink less than one cup per day. Beauty Secrets of the Japanese.

3. Do this: Eat slower. It takes about 20 minutes for the brain to recognize fullness. Savouring food, like the Japanese, will ensure that you will never end up eating more than what you should be consuming.

4. Use these: Azuki. The centuries old ingredient is said to be rubbed on the face gently to keep complexion smooth and free of blemishes. Also, Koemnuka, a rice bran is used to nourish skin and help to retain the youthful glow.

It also prevents wrinkles, dark eye circles and controls oil production. Wakame kelp protects skin from UV rays and pollution, and prevents fine lines and dark eye circles.

5. Find this: Zen. The Japanese practice physical and mental fitness. Activities such as yoga and meditation have been shown not only to reduce stress, but also to normalize weight, improve immunity and energy levels, improve overall well being.

Time to get off your butt and start stretching!

Plant Girl - Nareepol Tree

Message claims that attached photographs show the "Nareepol Tree" in Thailand - an amazing tree that grows fruit in the shape of women. Another version claims the "naarilatha plant" grows in the Himalayas and only blooms with its woman shaped flowers once every twenty years.

The claims in the message are almost certainly false. There is no credible evidence that supports the existence of such plants. The only available photographs of the "fruit" or "flowers" are all part of the same sequence. Thus, it is likely that some unknown prankster created the hoax by attaching a few man-made figurines to an ordinary tree's branches and then taking some photographs to document his or her "creation".

According to this fanciful message, which is making the rounds of the Internet via email and social media sites, the accompanying photographs depict an amazing tree in Thailand that grows fruit in human shape. An alternative version featuring images from the same sequence, claims that the female shaped "flowers" grow on the "naarilatha plant" in the Himalayas and only bloom once every twenty years. The images show what appears to be small, perfectly formed figures of women "growing" from amid the leaves of the tree.



The human shape fruit's photographs are all part of the same sequence. Thus, it is likely that some unknown prankster created the hoax by attaching a few man-made figurines to an ordinary tree's branches and then taking some photographs to document his or her 'creation'.

Many people apparently believe that the Nareepol Tree and its improbable fruit (or flowers) really exists and, although they have never seen it "in the flesh" (so to speak), some have even come to regard it as a sacred object. However, the Nareepol Tree is almost certainly nothing more than a hoax. If such an amazing phenomenon was real, the tree would undoubtedly be quite famous and there would be many media reports published about it all around the world. The scientific community and religious groups would also have examined the tree and published their findings. Instead, the only information about the alleged Nareepol Tree is in versions of the above message.

Moreover, the photographs above appear to be the only images of the tree available. All the images are obviously in the same sequence and depict the same tree and fruit. Given the self-publishing power provided by the Internet, if the tree was real, there would surely be myriad photographs of the tree available on many different blogs, travel websites and photo sharing websites.



You can see the real tree at Petchaboon province about almost 500 kms away from Bangkok.

According to the first version of the message, the Nareepol Tree is located in the Petchaboon province. So, if the tree and its fruit really existed, it would likely be a major tourist attraction for the region and promoted as such. However, the tree is not listed as an attraction on any credible travel related websites for the Petchaboon province. Nor are there any credible reports of such a plant growing in the Himalayas or in any of the other regions in which the plant is purported to grow.

Thus, some unknown prankster has most likely created the hoax by attaching a few man-made figurines to an ordinary tree's branches and then taking some photographs to document his or her "creation". The junction where each "fruit" joins the branch is conveniently obscured by leaves, perhaps to hide the wire or twine that holds it aloft. And, the figures look too uniform to be natural. Except for the positioning of the arms, each piece of "fruit" is virtually identical in size and colour. Real fruit is likely to vary considerably in size, hue and quality, even when growing on the same tree.



The Nariphon (นารีผล), also known as Makaliphon or Makaliporn (from Pali makkaliphala, Thai: มักกะลีผล, RTGS: Makkaliphon) is a tree in Buddhist mythology which bears fruit in the shape of young female creatures. The maidens grow attached by their head from the tree branches.  This tree grows at the Himaphan, a mythical forest where the female fruits are enjoyed by the Gandharvas who cut the fruits and take them away.

The description of the Nareepol Tree and the photographs of its "fruit" are amusing and the message is basically harmless so long as recipients do not take its claims seriously.

Interesting "what if" take on the origin and ancestors of humankind...if we could grow women this beautiful life would be a lot easier I think. I really like the contrast between the rough style of the ground and roots, and the smooth creamy texture of her skin.
