Around China : Robk commented on news Attacker Shot to Death By Police at Xi’an Train Station

They shot him cause he he rushed towards the counter with a brick? Did he actually attack anything? Are the police now well trained enough to just shoot him in the leg and not fatally wound him? I guess they could care less, they just relish the opportunity to shoot one of those "Uyghur Terrorists". Full Comment>>

Well, why wasn't he? It is not like a skateboard takes up any more room than luggage, so what's the logical reasoning behind this? Behind skateboarding kids are bad or something? Are roller blades allowed? Full Comment>>

Articles : Robk commented on news The Perfect Match? Post on Marriage Between Chinese Men and Russian Women Goes Viral in Russia

Chinese men are diligent about housekeeping, Russian women are cheerful and generous. “This is what many countries believe, we're just putting it up for discussion,” said Jin. Says what countries? Most people (foreign women) I ask Chinese men about usually give negative reviews. Jin is full of it. Full Comment>>

Yeah, I am in a Tier 5/6 city and the foreign community is quite small but very tightly knit. It is a good exercise in getting along with different people because if you don't like someone... too bad they will be there at every event.

Articles : Robk commented on news A Story of Survival: “Eastern Star” Passenger Speaks

I am surprised that there are just so few survivors. Only like 30 out of 400+. Is it because most of them were elderly and don't know how to swim? Why in the world would you take a cruise if you don't know how to swim? Just seems incredibly foolish to me. The ultimate weakness of Chinese seems to be water. Full Comment>>
