Chinese couple fined for sharing a hotel room
Ok brace yourselves. In China, a student and his girlfriend have been fined for sharing a hotel room. They were charged with "illegal cohabitation" because they could not produce a marriage certificate. OMG. So the Chinese government's neighborhood security officials' terms of reference include raiding hotel rooms and checking if the couples have marriage license? The Chinese government never ceases to amaze me. Ok ok... let me write something on a piece of paper... here. Let's read it, repeat after me --- prrrrrivate sssspace. Again, again... louder --- prrrrrrivate ssssspace. See, that one was easy. Now have someone translate it Chinese and stick it on your forehead.
