I found this piece of news from Shanghaiist YouMeiTI worthy. It's about a young Japanese male looking for a young Beijing female who he saw on a subway and immediately fell in love with. He uploaded the video online of the subway girl, in which he had secretly captured using his cell phone's video camera. Now he is asking the Beijing webosphere to help him find her.

This is a great glimpse into how youth are experimenting with mobiles, social software and real world relationships. Maybe this will prompt some savvy Chinese internet developer to set up an application a la Craiglist's Missed Connections, or a la Dodgeball to spot potential cuties with cell phones?

I also find it interesting to read some of the very encouraging online comments that Shanghaiist posted (it's all about contentious Japanese and Chinese relations).

日本猪都是杂交的东东，劣等岛国习气！变态！杀光日本猪，把日本猪从中国土地上赶出去
Japanese pigs are all the products of inbreeding and incest. They are an evil island nation! What a freak! Kill all Japanese pigs! Drive them out from Chinese soil!

日本狗，她不会跟你这个日本狗的，等我老了，快死了的时候我到日本放“炮竹
Japanese dog, she is not going to come with you. When I am old some day and about to die, I will come to Japan to set off fire crackers.

就这样还要找中国女人。..难道日本慰安妇死光了?
Look at you, and you want a Chinese woman? Have all the comfort women died in Japan?

Ok well let's see if there will be future news of Chinese boys and Chinese girls cell-videoing each other and posting it online - perhaps the Chinese online community will be a bit more supportive ehh? But you've got to give this Japanese guy some credit for picking a very appropriate song as his background song for his video - Bryan Adam's I Will Be Right Here Waiting For You, - tricia
