Robk on news 21 Year Old Prodigy Gives Away BMW’s to 4 Top Employees(20 comments)
Nice gesture. Smart girl actually rewards her top employees instead of working them into the ground. IF she built this company from scratch... I am VERY impressed. If she used daddy's money to finance it... not so much. But I would have to say those employees did earn them. 10 million RMB in sales... damn. Full Comment>>
Robk on news 12 People Threaten Mass Suicide on Top of Government Building in Shanxi(4 comments)
Probably due to unpaid wages... I feel sorry for these migrant workers. They work pretty decently for crap wages and are LUCKY to get paid on time. They always need to resort to crazy actions like this to get things done and about 50%+ of the time, they end up in jail or dead. Full Comment>>

Robk on news Qingdao Man Downs 3.5 L of Baijiu for Contest(10 comments)
Yeah, I remember once some Chinese guy dared me to chug like half a litre of baijiu... and I did because it was to "save face for my brother in law". I could barely keep it down... yeah it was dumb.

It amazes me that people are like this, that were able to figure out ways to make money and do well for themselves... can not simply smash a stupid tradition and understand that meeting the right person is NOT an exact science. Nor can you desperately search for the RIGHT person because you usually end up rushing ... Full Comment>>

While what you say is true. Actually, this is useful. I have actually seen Chinese looking at a foreigner wearing a green hat and snickering and laughing. He couldn't figure it out until I told him... While it didn't stop him from wearing the hat, at least he didn't go crazy and physical assault someone from madness. Full Comment>>

Robk on DumpsterDiver 's blog Being Black in China: A Student's unique perspective(13 comments)
Decent article with many items I agree on. Kind of strange to read though when everything is centered like that, haha. One thing you should keep in mind, is that African-Americans are smiled upon more than say black people from the continent of Africa itself in China. They sort of connect you with basketball stars, ... Full Comment>>

This seems to be a horrible reoccurring event in China. I read many stories of violence against women and nobody helps them. She obviously didn't know these men and asked people around her for help.
