You can call abroad and while you are abroad, but the service has to be activated. If you are calling the US it is cheaper to simply get a Magic Jack and the Magic Jack app for your phone. For $100 US you can call as much as you want to the USA and Canada for 5 years. Remember, you can always use Skype for toll-free ... Full Comment>>

Articles : bernhardtra commented on news Petition Against the Death Sentence: Fudan University Students Rally in Support of Lin Senhao

An April Fool's Joke, I doubt it. An individual who has access to this compound would know the dosage, or should know the dosage and effects of it. I am a big fan of having lenient laws which progress for repeated offenses, each time much more severe. I am also a fan of the death penalty, as some crimes must have ... Full Comment>>

(Beijing) In Pulse : bernhardtra commented on news New Visa Regulations and Privileges for Foreign Experts in Beijing

Just because they have that as an option doesn't mean the company will ask for it. It is also pretty much reserved for the higher level jobs. Don't expect a school to get one for a teacher. Full Comment>>

Around China : bernhardtra commented on news Gay Man Fakes Marriage and Buys Baby Online to Hide his Sexuality From Parents

Two problems with this story; the guy couldn't adopt so he had no other alternative and the fact that the newspaper only went after the story of the gay guy. It is a real shame that he simply couldn't come out of the closet and been accepted and adopted a baby of his own. Full Comment>>

Yeah, it is a managed float, I think the person who originally wrote this at Xinhua did not pay attention in my class when I discussed the difference between a flexible, fixed, and managed. I think they fell asleep after the first 5 minutes. Full Comment>>

That is fairly funny. I applied for a job not long ago and the person who replied sent me a picture of the brochure of the school and some documents about the school.

So what does this mean? I have had speeding tickets. I think the story needs to be more specific to make it clear. Misdemeanors, felonies, traffic, or whatever. I have to agree with Guest on this, it does seem kinda harsh. Even Canada limits it to felonies and alcohol and drug offenses and only for the last 7 years. ... Full Comment>>

I was certain someone would at least make some comment about the price he paid and compare it to vintage wine. Oh alas, all we get is unfounded innuendos about where the money went. On a different note, is there one of those smiley emoticons that mean tongue in cheek? ;'3, ;'), ;'x, ???? Full Comment>>
