Hahaha... he didn't consider the fact she would contact the police and they would trace the account... of course not... I guess we can't expect too much from a guy that is 150 000 RMB in gambling debt. Full Comment>>

Probably had rich parents with Guanxi, otherwise I bet he would have accidentally fallen down the stairs. Full Comment>>

I never said I wanted to be "Chinese" but I would like to have the option just as they would in Canada. The whole point is that Chinese directly or indirectly make you FEEL like you are always here temporarily when it may look like a more permanent situation... sort of stuck in Limbo... which is why most ...

Look at the tiger in the last picture, even the tiger is thinking "Man, this guy is a complete idiot!" Full Comment>>

Haha... he split his pants. That just makes it even more stupid and hilarious. Full Comment>>

Hahaha... "Oh baby, I can't miss out on this once in a lifetime happy meal... Tiger and rice, here I come! Oh shit... I forgot the rice cooker!" What a moron, I wish the Tiger would have rid the world of this fool. Full Comment>>

Always good to have a goal and a hobby. At least he can tell his neighbors, "Yeah I took my son to school in my lambo, that's how I roll!" Full Comment>>

What a great man! Instead of spending about 20 mil USD on a phone cover he could of helped rural children out of poverty or sex trade workers to develop new skills and get out of a living hell... but no... He spent it on something grossly unnecessary and vain, the signs of a truly great man! Full Comment>>

I agree. This article is very one-sided. Yes, China has pretty awesome food and yes people are playful and happy (but "immature" would probably be a better word). People can be friendly but people can also stare at you like an alien or whisper about you and think you can't understand. Most people only stay ... Full Comment>>

Well man, you got a great attitude and that will help but you are still obviously in what many of us refer to as "The Honeymoon" phase. I have been here almost 8 years now and lived in large cities and been to places where foreigners have never stepped foot and there is ALWAYS one common denominator. I am ... Full Comment>>

That doesn't sound too painful and difficult. Say a few lines in Chinese and do it in front of others. "difficult as possible" - I could think up a lot more difficult obstacles for him. Such as... you have to buy a car... own a house... you getting my point? That's why I questioned it. Full Comment>>

Well, it is suitable... most restaurants in China are .... Full Comment>>

Hahaha... so stupid on all accounts. The guy for making the changes (which I can understand actually). The government for giving him a fine for modifications and taking points off his drivers license (did he drive it poorly? WTH?) And China in general for allowing BYD to rip off a model of LEXUS and then say it's ... Full Comment>>

This is an awesome story. I am not sure why she demanded he propose in front of a crowd of people (that sounded a little off). Was it because she wanted to have witnesses? Or something else? Either way, it sounds like a happy ending to two lives that have been hit hard with unfortunate events. I hope the happiness ... Full Comment>>

Hospitals in China are the worst places. I hate going to them more than dirty rural bathrooms. The doctors and nurses are so cold (uncaring) and incompetent (at least from my encounters). Seriously, just use Google and then head to the pharmacy, you have a better chance. Most hospitals just offer you IV drips with ... Full Comment>>

Wow. That's exciting news! Full Comment>>

Hey, Sorry been in travel since Spring Festival. Yup, I am in China and sure I can accept payments via other methods. I remember reading that you wanted to open a bakery (a good idea). I will send you a personal message soon. Thinking outside the box seems to be the only way to get out. Even the freelancer business ... Full Comment>>

Herp-a-derp? Full Comment>>

Why was the guy that overstayed 3 years charged less than the guy that stayed 37 days? By the names, it suggests they are Koreans or Asians themselves. So the people couldn't just tell the reporters which country? Not like they had their passports or anything to look from... Full Comment>>

LoL... the Chinese logic to solving a problem. Rape your wife and steal your own stuff before someone has the chance! That'll teach em.... Full Comment>>

Good for you, I have been in China for nearly 8 years, married a national, speak fluent Chinese, tons of Chinese friends & family, been to over 40+ Chinese cities (lived in 5), So I doubt your claims. Traveling during Spring Festival isn't so hot, but that doesn't mean spending the time with your Chinese family ... Full Comment>>

Yeah, I agree. That Gala pretty much sucks... lol Full Comment>>

Oh, but your way is the "right" thing. Trying to understand Chinese culture and interacting with them during their most important holiday is not... Move to Thailand then... if you have that option. A lot of foreigners can't or don't want to interact with the locals. It's like Chinese that study abroad and ... Full Comment>>

You know if you venture to another country, you should keep an open mind and actually put a little bit of effort into experiencing their holidays like a local. If you just came here for a quick job and expected everything and everyone to accommodate you, ni zuo meng ba (you are dreaming). I actually look forward to ... Full Comment>>

That's the thing. Most of the people return to their home villages and many cities and towns do shut down... Have you seen Beijing during Spring Festival? It turns into a Ghost town. However, if you have Chinese family and friends... take the invitation and go with them. Then you can experience the joyful part of ... Full Comment>>
