I have heard the propaganda locals use to go against foreigners such as "divorce is high in the west" or "they just come here to play, then go". In fact I get really pissed when people badmouth foreign men as all being playboys. I always reply to those jerks by saying things like "what do ... Full Comment>>

Though I am American, I also do not trust Obama, not for a moment. He has one claim to fame of his own, the insurance policy that bears his name. Even that sucks. Putin is showing signs of megalomania, furthered along by the adoring of any country that has or does share similar political beliefs. But at least people ... Full Comment>>

I think you posted in the wrong thread. There is nothing about cooking stuff here. Full Comment>>

Honestly, what is so good about her? What dimwit would toss about such a high amount of random cash on her when all he needs to do is put that money down on a home and show the key and housing contract in any bar, same effect and you get to keep the home. Full Comment>>

Not that we want to paint any one group as being better than the other but I am tired of always reading about how 1 or 2 bad eggs from anywhere in the world get such big exposure here and in China as a whole, labelled as "foreigners doing terrible things to Chinese people inside of China". It's time to ... Full Comment>>

While I am not one for wars and killing and certainly do not agree with his involvement with Ukraine, let us have a look at the Russian leader's speech on August 04, 2013. Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia, ... Full Comment>>

Finally, a country that gets it right. I 100% agree with China for these rules. Much better than the way USA pussyfoots around the issues at home. This is not about religion, this is about a government trying to protect the citizens. In some countries, hoodies, backwards hats, and other gangsta style outfits are ... Full Comment>>

Yes but beware, those conclusions could be met at the end with a not so joyful conclusion to your credit card, thanks to the helping hands of some good ol home boyz. Full Comment>>

I agree with you 100%. Why is it that a drunk foreigner, happy on his most important holiday, can have a camera and mic shoved into his face for a candid interview and then he says "I love you, show me your boobs", then get threatened and destroyed by Chinese people for his indecent behavior, but ...

I love this story. Bravo to Echinacities.com for posting such a wonderful story showing the honest compassion of foreigners and Chinese counterparts. It is inspiring and nice, a pleasant change from all of the negativity I have been reading in the last almost 2 years. I wish that both of these two have as much time ... Full Comment>>

This article leaves many questions and depending on the answers, the fact that he ate noodles for 8 months may not be as impressive as to how he was able to put enough cash up for the dream house. For example, and I am sure he would not be willing to divulge this information as this is private, what was his maximum ... Full Comment>>

I've got no issue with Chinese going abroad and gaining benefits of other nations but it would be nice to see China modernize their immigrant policies to stop giving power to bosses when foreigners have a Chinese spouse. Full Comment>>

I wish the American government would impliment procedures at Pearl Harbor. Last time I was there, Japanese tourists were at the Arizona Memorial, chattering away and taking photographs as if it were a thrill ride at Walt Disney World. Three thousand servicemen died there and remain entombed in the sunken ship. While ... Full Comment>>

If China were the defacto world leader, I believe that the world would adapt an inward thinking and a "we mind our own business,you mind your own business" attitude. People wouldn't help each other, unless the help has some mutual gain for the helper. Nobody would point a finger outwardly at other's faults ... Full Comment>>

At least this article wasn't about some "laowai" breaking a law, for a change. Bravo! Full Comment>>

I don't think that people from a country famous for it's own rash of unwanted news in recent years should be suggesting a beat down on others. Who do you think you are, that reporter's knight in shining armor? Full Comment>>

So what?!?! I cannot tell you how many times I have been solicited on the streets by old laotaitai's for "sekesi with beautiful lady". It didn't matter whether I had a wedding band on. Or how about checking into the hotel with wife, getting to the room only to receive the infamous "you like ... Full Comment>>

I am in the same boat as you. Would love to see citizenship policies to the sincerely married. Unfortunately, some chips on the shoulder go back to the days of CiXi, the woman who could not, and then we have what we see today. Full Comment>>

Ok, alright guys, interesting points, I'll give you all that. Vyborg, I have been here through those incidents as well and I had no such problems, though in my mind I was conscious of the current events as they unfolded. I worked hard, got myself deeply rooted into the community with honor and made sure that enough ... Full Comment>>

This is a wonderful story. Thanks, Echinacities. Full Comment>>

Are we getting to be like the locals now that when a little heat gets thrown on the word "foreigners" we need to feel defensive? I mean they get uppity when someone points a finger at one bad Chinese person doing things in a negative social manner when compared to our standards and upbringings. We know ... Full Comment>>
