Shaolin messenger

No, it’s not a remake of the Stephen Chow’s movie Shaolin Soccer, but most monk over 18 of a Shaolin temple somewhere in China can use mobile phones and access the Internet.

In fact, they are regular web users. Each of them enjoy this very comfortable connection budget of $25 per month, according to China Daily.

Their favorite application is chatting online. And to do this, they rely on QQ, the very dominating instant messenger in South-East Asia. Chinese company Tencent developed it; they claimed somewhat 200 million users. Far far ahead MSN Messenger.

Maybe you would see some of them being featured in Google Idol.
