Around China : PhilArsenault commented on news Foreigner Assaults Bus Driver, Grabs Steering Wheel in Chengdu

No there is only one side to this story. There's camera footage of this incident. The camera never lies. I'll admit that school bus drivers seem to be curmudgeonly but who can blame them?

Articles : PhilArsenault commented on news Western Psychology: Can it Take Root in China?

Finding actual love may be an uphill battle but at least I haven't given up the fight. If you do one thing in life, love somebody. Try starting with yourself. You can keep your cynicism(or is it sino-cism?). I'll keep my naivety, thank you. Full Comment>>

Articles : PhilArsenault commented on news Are Chinese Men Good Enough for Chinese Women?

I know the concept of "love" is very different in China, but there was no mention of it in the article or in the comments here. Does it even exist in China? What's the point of a relationship or a family without it? Please feel free to laugh (or cry) at my naivety. Full Comment>>
