Articles : LesterF commented on news Biting the Bullet: Going to the Dentist in China

I had two root canal treatments done in Beijing over the last few years. First time I "played it safe" and went to an international clinic. Surprisingly little English was spoken but the price sure was international. They did a decent job though. Second time I went to a dentist that I would categorize as high-end ... Full Comment>>

Articles : LesterF commented on news What You Must Know About Renting an Apartment in China

I don't think it's rocket science renting an apartment in China compared to in other countries. The basics are the same. Make sure you establish a good relationship with your landlord and then he/she will cut you some slack if you need it later on. Pay your rent on time, don't call the landlord about every little ...

Around China : LesterF commented on news Sanlitun Drug Dealer Arrested and Deported after Investigation by Undercover Journalist

Drug dealing in Sanlitun is so obvious that you hardly need to go undercover to realize what's going on. I always wonder why the police just turn a blind eye considering the authorities' hard line on drugs in China. Full Comment>>

Blogs : LesterF commented on Eragon 's blog Right to teach English

I really like your blog post and you raise a very important point. The idea of only wanting native speakers is rooted deeply in the Chinese consumer's excessive focus on appearance over substance. When they buy an English class for their kid they expect a "real" English person to be the teacher (in their minds ... Full Comment>>

Around China : LesterF commented on news Modern Toilet: Xi’an’s Latest Quirky Restaurant

Been around for a while, originally from Taiwan. But unlike most other TW food outlets this one serves really awful food - only tastes slighty less worse than what it looks like to be honest ;) Only reason to go there is to take a pic of yourself eating a poop and that still is a 100% valid reason!

(Shanghai) Features : LesterF commented on news Finding the Right Fit: International Schools in Shanghai

Completely agree. Those tuition fees are completely out of proportion. I mean, some of them work out to more than 20,000 RMB per month! Nah, public schools are the way to go. I'm sure the teaching quality is probably as good as most int. schools and your kid gets to mingle with all kinds of different people. That's ... Full Comment>>

Articles : LesterF commented on news People on the Metro (Who Annoy You)

Completely agree with zenyanz about people standing directly in front of the door wanting to enter before anyone gets off. I also started "tackling" them with high elbows. Oh, that daily bit of permitted violence feels good... Another anoying character is the "hairy, smelly armpit guy" in the summer. Always chubby, ... Full Comment>>
