@小野妹子学吐槽: Halloween is almost here and the American people have one-by-one begun making jack-o-lanterns and decorating their yards, but a few silly people have clearly gone overboard, overflowing with artistic talent, not only scaring little children but even making adults who see [their work] reaching for their phones to call the 911 hotline… Also, just what is the last one about?

@秋田六千: Today is Halloween and a student at Peking Kyoto University came to class dressed as Spider-Man… and even the professor teaching the class couldn’t maintain his composure, simultaneously taking photos and saying, “We’ll start class after I post this to Twitter”… Let’s diligently have class, okay?!

Fauna is a mysterious young Shanghainese girl who lives in the only place a Shanghainese person would ever want to live: Shanghai. In mid-2008, she started chinaSMACK to combine her hobby of browsing Chinese internet forums with her goal of improving her English. Through her tireless translation of popular Chinese internet news and phenomenon, her English has apparently gotten dramatically better. At least, reading and writing-wise. Unfortunately, she's still not confident enough to have written this bio, about herself, by herself.
