And well paid ones at that. It pays to be white. @Chris...BJ I'll bet you wake up at that time so you can meet your friends in the park for "一二三四五..." commie stretching exercises (that music is like having my balls yanked) or do you walk backwards up and down your alley, flapping your arms? Either way I'm sure your cotton shoes feel comfy. Afterwards, do you practice your four tones in the mirror? Maybe six if you are headed to Guangzhou? @ Josh:

The Beijinger is finding it has distribution problems, "Thats" just came out but it sucks under its new owners, and Time Out is banned until October. It's CW or nothing at this time.

Stumble into kitchen and brew a cup of Longjing. 4:01 am: (I brew tea very quickly): turn computer on. Go back to the tea (not that quickly). 4:03 am: log on to the university's less-then-broad band excuse for an internet, immediately open the brilliant, scintillating, brain-tickling Cup of Cha. Start my day with a good chuckle, perhaps even the occasional belly laugh that freaks out the wife and sometimes even has the neighbours checking if all is alright. 5:00 am: Having recovered, go to the regular, boring China news and views at Danwei and ESWN. 4:00 am: Wake up dripping with excitement and anticipation.
