Oh No, Ed Jew!: Two Houses
Ed Jew! How we've missed you. After getting back from China, the first thing Tapioca Ed did was give only Chinese-speaking members of the media a tour of the place he calls his Sunset home. Man, our relatives were right that we would regret not having gone to Chinese school as a child.
Thank goodness the Chron got those pieces translated! The Chinese newspaper Sing Tao reported that the Sunset house appeared "sparsely decorated and furnished." On Monday, when the Chron drove by the Sunset house during Jew's nap, the shades were drawn and they saw four pairs of shoes outside the house.
By contrast, the Chron then drove down to Ed Jew's alleged weekend home in Burlingame -- where they found a huge pile of shoes outside the door and a couple of children's bicycles in the yard. Hmmmmm.

Are shoes outside the house the Chinese equivalent of dead cars in a redneck's yard?
Ed Jew must be a wealthy, wealthy man.
Only if those shoes are up on blocks.
LOL!can't touch that Persona non Bergman.
In Chinese culture, you remove your shoes before coming into a house. Shoes are considered dirty because you track yucky stuff from the streets. Piles of shoes basically means that there are a lot of people in the houses. No shoes means that there are no people in the house. OK, gwai lo?
