Articles : wakethenight commented on news 5 Reasons I am back in China: Reverse Culture Shock is Real

Would've agreed with everything, but then you mentioned that you didn't want to tip the person who brought you your food. Do you know how much those people make back in the States?

Around China : wakethenight commented on news Hangzhou Bus Catches Fire, 9 Injured

I live in Hangzhou and I can PROMISE that people made a mad dash for the doors, instead of leaving in an orderly fashion. A bunch of people were probably knocked out by flying elbows at the door. The bus etiquette in this country is truly horrifying. Full Comment>>

Articles : wakethenight commented on news Fire in the Skies: What Went Down on Shenzhen Airlines Flight ZH9648

Wow, the security in Pudong wouldn't even let me bring on my bottle of water on board and this lunatic gets on board with gasoline and a knife? WTF, China. Also, if they were able to extinguish the fire with the extinguisher, why not just nail the guy with it or spray it on him? Why let him slash up two passengers? Full Comment>>
