LOL. You STILL haven't answered the question that myself and DrMonkey asked. WHY did the MARRIED man do the right thing? And you can answer Lord_Hanson's question as well. Would you like your wife/gf/mother groped by a stranger? I notice you still don't have the 'bravery' to stop hiding behind anonymity. I don't ... Full Comment>>

Careful Lord_hanson, you have asked him a confusing question that might cause him to resort to one of the following: '5000 years of history.' 'Chinese people are different.' 'You don't understand Chinese culture.' Chinese guys are only brave when they: have their mates near them, can phone them to come as back-up, ... Full Comment>>

according to the story, he DOES care even though it is small change to him. LOL. Full Comment>>

Yes - the Chinese guy that is SO brave he posts anonymously. LOL. So answer, 'brave' anonymous poster, why did he do the right thing? Full Comment>>

'china is doing it the China way': so this means copying as much as possible from foreign technology? No need to have innovators then. I somehow think we all know that. Full Comment>>

no Hippocratic oath in China? That is one difference Full Comment>>

LOL. You MUST be a Chinese guy to say that: you post anonymously AND try to make excuses for the sleazy behaviour. When did he do the right thing? By groping the girl? Or pretending he did nothing? Well done 'brave' Chinese men. Full Comment>>

They might cheat on admissions, but any University worth it's salt will catch them out on exams. Then you are on your own Full Comment>>

LOL, not at all. I am well aware that 'meetings are the practical alternative to work.' ;o) I also have worked on the staff of a university at home, at meetings and teaching you are expected to contribute and discuss issues, no matter what your role is, and work in a meaningful way. In China i know meetings are ... Full Comment>>

It just means that they have managed to copy Windows OS and added a few 'security' measures of their own to increase monitoring of users Full Comment>>

there is a difference between cultural differences and being plain lazy and not doing your job. Another 2 FT's who shared a university apartment were 2 MONTHS without hot water IN WINTER because the same woman did **** all. My 3 weeks were uncomfortable, with these 2 guys, it was just plain sadistic. They relied on ... Full Comment>>

in one class I taught a 'Michael Jackson' and 'Justin Beiber'; girls called 'Richard', 'alien' and 'nine'. I was told one creepy middle-aged American named all his female students after porn stars. Thankfully their next Foreign Teacher re-named them. I have taught more 'Candy's', 'Cici's' and 'Lily's' than i care to ... Full Comment>>

You may have achieved the rare thing in China is an employer that treats you with respect. However, I was employed by a University to prepare students for IELTS and foreign travel - by a foreign University partner. It was part of my brief to teach as a foreign teacher and teach about foreign customs/culture and the ... Full Comment>>

many of the people whose wealth is based on selling land to developers probably have no business experience to maintain/increase their wealth. Many will probably have a son/daughter indulged but unable to do anything other than spend money. Even those with a successful business will probably be employing relatives ... Full Comment>>

Who goes to a hotel room to break up with someone? It is just asking for trouble. Full Comment>>

Way to go China - tell girls their only value is in how they look. Full Comment>>

it could also be that they don't know what else to say and feel they have to speak. Full Comment>>

LOL. my response was ironic. I am not saying all foreigners are saints. But nor do ALL foreigners 'look down' on Chinese people. To say that is a generalization and very unhelpful, and more often than not, to say so has to do with how insecure a person feels about people from other countries. However, things like ... Full Comment>>

I stand corrected: Chinese people NEVER spit or urinate in public. Nor do they cut queues, take photo's of foreigners without their permission or treat foreigners as a form or live entertainment in any way by staring at them. Nor do Chinese people try to cheat foreigners by charging them higher prices. These are ... Full Comment>>

LOL. I have reached the point that the 'bad' behaviour or habits no longer registers with me unless it is way over the top, or if intrudes on me quietly going about my daily life. Should I ignore the local who goes through my shopping while i stand in line at the check-out? Would I be recorded and posted online if i ... Full Comment>>

As I said, it is only half a story. Did he forget his ID and papers? Was there someone inside who could have identified him? All that is being reported is one side. Granted he was rude, but so are MANY people on a daily basis here and they don't get reported: I see this happen every day between local people and ... Full Comment>>

There is a very good university in Changsha that towards the end of the 3rd year of employment, always give the FT's a poor performance review so they have reason not to renew the contract. They also seldom employ anyone who has been in China for a year or more. A friend who worked there told me that he was expected ... Full Comment>>

my colleagues were still quite new to China and thought they were being generous in allowing their gf's friends to join us. I suggested to them why it would not be a good idea for the very reason I stated (free-loading), but they would hear none of it. So they learnt the hard way. They have only themselves to blame ... Full Comment>>

shhhhh. You've just given them the idea Full Comment>>

as usual there is only half the story. Was the foreign guy involved in running the meeting? Did the conversation with the security guard start in a polite manner? Was the guy very late for the meeting and the fact the the building was only 50 meters away from the gate he wanted to enter would ensure he was on time? ... Full Comment>>
