Woman climbs wall to avoid buying ticket

A woman climbed up the Gate of China (Zhonghuamen), just to avoid paying for the entrance ticket.

Zhonghuamen is the southern gate of the 33.7km-long city wall of Nanjing – an ancient capital of China.

On Wednesday, a woman was seen climbing the 21.5-metre high wall to the gate without any gear, on the west side of the entrance.

A tourist, surnamed Wang, took a photo of the event.

Back to the wall, Najib tries to re-invent himself as the "best of the worst"

Malaysia’s emerging first world economy, despite the wishful thinking of Prime Minister Najib Razak, who doubles up as Finance minister, is no longer a factor that the ruling Barisan Nasional can constantly harp on at the hustings.

If the 58-year old Najib were to boast about the economy in purchasing power parity terms, the man on the street would fire back at how expensive life has become. And for Najib to argue would not only be a futile exercise, it would also be a dumb move.

Straightaway, it would set up the backs of the ordinary folk who feel the pulse of the economy from their ragged PVC wallets, and not the thick tomes of numbers that only make sense when compared with similarly sized and stressed nations.
