dongbeiren on adb2014 's blog Queuing in China - a True Cultural Experience(9 comments)
I can deal with line cutting when I'm not in a hurry but what pisses me off the most is when people walk in front of me to steal my taxi right as its pulling over to pick me up. There is no basic etiquette waiting for taxis here - just the ME first attitude. Full Comment>>
dongbeiren on hadleyj09 's blog Taxi Scams, Language Skills and Attitude (14 comments)

I find the drivers in my city to be relatively honest although they will sometimes take you on the scenic route. Generally when you call them out on it, tell them how they should have gone and tell them how ... Full Comment>>

Nice blog post hadley. Taiyuan sounds like a pretty awful place on all fronts and you'll probably feel better elsewhere. For me, the pollution really sucks but what got me down about China after my initial year and a half honeymoon period was the people and culture. I began to realize how much of society was just a ...

Al Gore is a sanctimonious, self-righteous self promoter who flies around in a private plane and lives in a 10 bedroom mansion while preaching about conservation but I think he's onto something here... not the first one to come out with that kind of info. Full Comment>>

Glad to see another post from someone enjoying their time here. As for friends, it is true that a lot of Chinese "friends" are not your real friends and have some ulterior motive.

Your points are valid but not really appropriate for this blog post - the OP is happy here in spite of the problems you point out. He comes across as humble and realistic about his situation while your post comes across as bitter and spiteful. That's not to say that what you're saying is factually incorrect. But why ...

Another conspiracy theorist.... it's true that the survival rate statistic can be misleading when cancers recur past five years and prove to be fatal but your line of reasoning is very dangerous.
