Dec 15,2014 23:05 comment|53502|112713

I've met plenty of Chinese girls being 'supported' and having plenty of expensive gifts bought for them. That shows them this man is a provider, he can do it. Then she brings boys back to the flat which is being paid for by her man whilst he is out of the city. No, I am of the opinion that Chinese women ask for more ... Full Comment>>

I have heard that the opposite about the HSK6, that it is actually not that difficult. German language schools have said that passing the HSK 6 is too easy in comparison to other language tests it is said to be equivalent to in terms of language proficiency. I apologise for not having the link for you. Nor would I ... Full Comment>>

It is so difficult to try and understand anything in China. Time and time again we try to rationalise irrational and impulsive behaviour. Logic does not dictate and so we come up with many theories for the behaviour we see but because of this absence of logic and reasoning everything is riddled with contradictions. ... Full Comment>>

Can you explain what Feminine and masculine energy is please? I've never heard of it. You say it's common sense but that may depend on where you grew up. I've learned that what is considered as common sense in England is not in China. Do you mean to say that destruction is a result of masculine energy? If so, why is ... Full Comment>>

One of the lessons I've taken away from being in China is that I'm foreign.

True, I found like with most things in China, there doesn't seem to be a middle ground.

Many people I have met have a ridiculous amount of ... Full Comment>>

There is a museum there and the remains of a lovely little Neolithic village, that is if you like Neolithic villages. There was barely a ... Full Comment>>
