Articles : Hotwater commented on news Expats in China: What Lessons Do They Take Away?

Definitely an article of glowing stereotypes but what has the bulk of the article to do with the mentions of the fabled green card in the first paragraph? Definitely a biased propaganda piece. Full Comment>>

Articles : Hotwater commented on news Searching for a More Peaceful Life: China’s Most Livable “Second-Tier,” Cities

"Prices are too high, rent is too expensive"....and then they list Sanya as a good choice. Haven't they checked out the massive increase in real estate prices there over the last few years? The place has seen a huge real estate bubble, maybe created by those trying to escape 1st tier prices. I won't deny it is a ... Full Comment>>

Around China : Hotwater commented on news Guangzhou Farmer Breeds 7 Million Locusts for Food

but you just did try justifying your comment to me! :-) not sure where your comment about men's semen is relevant. A bit hard to "harvest" enough of that to make it commercially viable whereas locusts appear to be easy to breed. Full Comment>>

(Guangzhou) Features : Hotwater commented on news The Sound of the South: Guangzhou’s Music Scene

Interesting article but you seem to have only highlighted a limited number of expat style bars for live music. For places that also have a varied selection try C-Union, T-Union, 191 Space, Tekkwun (if it is still open). There are also a number of bars over on Party Pier that have live shows, though these are ... Full Comment>>
