I didn't make it to China until ten years later. Things were a bit more expensive but I found the people to be great back then. Full Comment>>

No foreigners would help him after what happened to that Canadian woman. Full Comment>>

I love the parents who went to "prestigious " Chinese universities but have no idea how to educate their children. One woman though her 6 year old should know 1000 words. I told her that her son is not a native speaker and he's only 6. They had two English teachers one already bailed. The mother is so over ... Full Comment>>

Another idiot on the plane, when I flew to Newark there was one local cow that insisted she should get on the plane with the airline staff did. She kept screaming at the ladies at the desk. If I were them I would have told her she couldn't get on the plane. She went on for a good 15 or so minutes with people ... Full Comment>>

Probably would have been angry at her if she didn't want to walk on the wall too. Full Comment>>

Bad timing for the Olympics and foreign tourism. Who wants to go to a city where things like these are acceptable? i read somewhere else that she was back in Canada. If she isn't , she should go to the embassy. She is getting railroaded by greedy parasites. I won't even help someone up if they fall here just because ... Full Comment>>

Update. That Canadian may need to pays thousands and thousands of yuan in a civil suit. Any way to get money out of foreigners. It's an accident. Remember all those cases where old people fell or got knocked down accidentally ? Well this time a foreigner was involved. Money, money, money. Full Comment>>

That's why I know it was an accident and if that Canadian woman gets put in jail for an accident they can kiss foreign tourism and the Olympics goodbye. As it is foreign tourism is way down in Beijing. The air, traffic and general rudeness of people that this city and enough to keep people away. It's terrible that ... Full Comment>>

If the shoe was on the other foot they would still put the blame on the foreigner. I don't know how long you've been here , but it happens all the time, it's an in fortunate accident yes. It's terrible she died. I feel we don't have all the facts. If that woman gets railroaded just see how it effects tourism. Full Comment>>

It sounds like an accident to me and if a had a dollar for every time I asked politely for a Chinese person to get out of the way. They're always blocking entrances, absentmindedly stop right in front of you. Who knows what really happened. It seems as if the woman might have stopped abruptly right in front of the ...

I talked to drivers in Beijing and they told me the same thing. Full Comment>>

I would just ask them to move because I wanted to try it before buying it. They always got up without a problem. I think this has to do with Chinese doing this in other countries. Or it's just become too much of an embarrassment . Full Comment>>

And this coming from people that tortured and sometimes killed their teachers during the Cultural Revolution. Full Comment>>

Exactly, they're still allowing people to buy cars. Traffic is terrible on Friday , and an absolute nightmare on Saturday. Every farmer wants to drive their car. Full Comment>>

They can steal that money like they stole all the technology. Plus the economy is going down the drain. Full Comment>>

Ha ha, the US is getting sick of Chinese faster than Canada did. Full Comment>>

That's probably for the Chinese students who can't get accustomed to thinking for themselves. Full Comment>>

Indians are so patient too, I've been in India when flights were very delayed and they were so patient. Everyone was chatting and the airline eventually gave us food which was quite good. I think because no one complained. If the plane can't leave Thimphu because the weather, it's understandable. Then when we ... Full Comment>>

Sorry, but the poor behavior speaks for itself. We just have to watch and laugh. Full Comment>>

I've flown many times with Indians since the 90s , they never tried to open emergency doors or make bomb threats. Full Comment>>

She went in 2009 , India had cell phones and GPRS way before China did. Chinese people always have to make China look more advanced when the truth is different. I could use my ATM card in India as early as 1997 where as China I was lucky to find a bank I coukd use an ATM until 2002-3. Once I had a book that had ... Full Comment>>

If you want to see something funny watch them try to read a map or give directions for that matter. Full Comment>>

No smart phones or GPRS? They had those things way before China did and I wonder why she was arrested. Full Comment>>

The same thing happened to me when I was picking up a meager amount. They tried to say it wasn't my money. That was Bank of China. I hate that bank. I closed my account the minute I got the money in my hands. I finally shouted at them for two hours. I was also leaving for the airport and almost missed my flight ... Full Comment>>

Just look how they squat. They can't sit on benches like normal human beings? Full Comment>>
