Blogs : royceH commented on CAStafford 's blog The Lonely Life of a Transient Expat

Good luck, lady. The life of an expat here has its challenges for sure. And its joys. Stick with it...perhaps move to a smaller city. I live in a place of only several hundred thousand and would definitely recommend it. Pretty clean, lots of flowers, not too much traffic...much better to be out and about in on your ...

The mainland beat police that I see are usually doing nothing at all. The traffic cops have only one function; blowing their whistles. And pulling their car to the edge of the intersection, kicking their seats back and sleeping. Two functions then. Full Comment>>

Around China : royceH commented on news Woman Invited to 8 Weddings in National Holiday: Spends a Month’s Salary on Hongbao

Chinese weddings make me sick. They pass no expectation of what's appropriate. Chinese weddings are bullshit on many fronts. Chinese people should do themselves a favour and boycott weddings, like I have decided to do. Unless I can't. Fuk Chinese weddings. Full Comment>>

Simultaneous explosions in three separate locations at 5pm. Unless the planning was hopelessly inadequate it would be a miracle if only 3 people were killed. Nobody who lives out here believes these contrived casualty numbers. The pot is very hot now and in danger of bubbling over. Full Comment>>

Articles : royceH commented on news Kunming, Yunnan: A Province of Ethnic Minorities; a City of Chinese

The gov't has long had an agenda (not real) to make everyone the same. This doesn't preclude Ethnic Minorities. It doesn't include anyone not holding a Chinese passport however, as they will forever remain 'aliens'. I like Yunnan, especially Dali Old Town. Haven't yet been down Xishuangbanna way yet though.

Articles : royceH commented on news Foreign Teacher Training Institutions: The Only Qualification Necessary is a Foreign Face

China is unproductive. People go to work to mostly engage in time wasting activities. There is little in the way of output. Compare this with what's expected in a developed country and all one can do is laugh. Good luck with being indignant but I suggest a long hard look in the mirror. Full Comment>>
