A foreigner coming in and telling them what to do, when not invited to do so, only triggers the stubborn side of them and they often do the total opposite. I agree with you that Chinese studying habits are ineffective and need to ... Full Comment>>

A useful little article. Most of them I've tried and then uninstalled as the app causes more problems that it solves. Never heard of Ayi Bang, but it sounds like it could be useful. Will give it a go. Full Comment>>

Or you could, you know, GO HOME! Trying to convince yourself that you're happy, when you're not will achieve nothing but making yourself even more miserable in the long term.

Why have ecc decided to show a unrelated photo when there are plenty of pictures of the Pearl Tower that night? Edit: They have now changed the ... Full Comment>>

ummmmm Wuhan at 5! Are you high? By far the most miserable depressing place iv'e been in China with miserable depressing people to go with it. And where is Chengdu? It seems the list is based how happy the authors think people should be, rather than how happy they actually are. Full Comment>>

I don't know where you are, but where I am it is absolutely blocked, and has been for 4/5 months. Could be another case of different parts of China having different censorship. Full Comment>>
