Baby Teeth, Craigslist Beijing, and Forbidden Google Maps

Baby T’s first tooth appeared this morning so I don’t have any time to blog (I’m in coo mode).

Craigslist has a Beijing site now, and Google Maps will give you satellite images of Beijing, though not where we live since the map blurs out before you reach the Chaoyang Business District (CBD).

These two links come via Danwei, which is one of the must-read China blogs (in English).

Baby Portfolio Pick

You may recall that I sung the praises of Pampers while we were in England. Since moving to China we have switched to a new brand of diapers because the Pampers manufactured here are garbage. The best diapers we’ve found in China are the Mamy Poko brand, which are manufactured in Shanghai by a Japanese company, Unicharm.

So baby has added another company, Unicharm Group, to his growing portfolio, which so far includes Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Procter & Gamble (PG), Carter’s (CRI), and Sara Lee (SLE).
