Ding ding ding round 2 is over. This one was close but I have to say Mike wins again due to laowai's reversion to name calling, wishes of physical harm, and references to Mike's death. I'm just a sycophant who wants Mike's money..... hey Mike let's go drink some baijiu and I'll kiss your ass and hope for some ... Full Comment>>

Laowai, you're alright too. You're obviously a well read chap who understands a lot about political and economic theory. I look forward to seeing you on the forum. I genuinely enjoy engaging with both you and Mike. People like you keep the forum interesting. I never thought my snarky little comment about you and ... Full Comment>>

Laowai, I'll take that as a long winded apology for going way overboard with your personal attack when all I did was give you a little poke. Anyways, I never intended to get into a long fight with you or Mike (I've already gotten into a long fight with Mike on this forum) and was simply pointing out that this little ... Full Comment>>

Calm down Laowai, I just don't understand why you look down on anyone involved in business with such vitriol. There are plenty of parasites on Wall Street and the business world that contribute nothing to society and plenty of innovative visionaries who shape the world in positive ways. I've seen you post after post ... Full Comment>>

Mike versus laowai, the guy who used to be a teacher and now looks down on teachers after making a little money versus the esl teaching wanna be academic who looks down on everyone with a little money. Thanks for the entertainment :). I think Mike won that round. Full Comment>>

Blogs : dongbeiren commented on hadleyj09 's blog Life as a Foreign Teacher in China (The good side)

It's true that you are able to live reasonably comfortably and save a decent percentage of your salary as a basic ESL teacher BUT you have to give up a lot of life conveniences that are taken for granted back home to do so. And any travelling will quickly eat up those savings so what you have left will be nothing ... Full Comment>>

Articles : dongbeiren commented on news Xi’an Parents Ask for 100,000 Dowry, Australian Parents Say “No Way!”

There's a huge clash of cultures going on. In many parts of China, 100,000 rmb is actually a very low price to pay for marriage. In the minds of the bride's parents, they most likely feel they are being reasonable asking for such a small sum from a "rich" westerner. To most people outside of China, asking for one ...

Articles : dongbeiren commented on news Rural Village Shocked when Vietnamese Brides Run Away Together

Fair enough - China does get a bad rap with corruption because it's such a world power. Corruption indexes show its about average worldwide and I believe Vietnam is worse (too lazy too look it up at the moment). And Russia is WAY worse. Full Comment>>

Wu Meiyu sure did adapt to life in China well - learned the language, set up a shady human trafficking business to exploit people and then ran off with everyone's money. I guess it is possible for foreigners to assimilate in China after all. Full Comment>>

Blogs : dongbeiren commented on hadleyj09 's blog Taxi Scams, Language Skills and Attitude

Learning the language definitely reduces the chance of being scammed by taxi drivers, salespeople and others. 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>>
