DREAMLIFE Points: Join Date: Sep 5, 2007 Status: offline	Have you ever heard of these two phrases, BoBo and NoNo? In brief, they are two different living styles. At present, more and more youngmen are in pursuit of such living styles. BoBos come from BoBos in Paradise, a book written by David Brook. BoBo is composed of Bourgeois and Bohemian.People who belong to this group are well-educated, self-motivated and hard working and have high incomes. They enjoy themselves in comfortable lives and advocate freedom and liberty. For them, life quality is their priority. Famous brands are their favourite. If they spend 15000 to buy musical instrument, do not be surprised. NoNo is quite different from BoBo. No Logo written by NaomiKlein is their favourite. For them, simplicity is beauty. They seldom take those name brands into consideration. Simplicity and comfortness are the most important. They are vegetarians and environmentalists. In the restaurants, they never use disposable chopsticks or eat wild animals. They would rather rent a single apartment than spend a lof of money to buy a house. House slave is not their choice. Do not misunderstand them. They can afford to buy their house but they won't. What do you think of BoBo and NoNo? Which group do you belong to?
