Well said. How's that English-teaching career in China going for you? Must be nice to be legitimate though, unlike the majority. Yes? Full Comment>>

No there isn't. Working illegally is monstrously stupid. There's nothing noble about it at all. Especially if you're doing it in China, where everbody despises you anyway and the pinishments are harsh. What a shit situation that must be. Is that your situation? Full Comment>>

Oh, you're all very high and mighty, aren't you? Half of you are probably working on tourist visas anyway. Who would possibly want to teach English in China, especially is Polish is your native language? Full Comment>>

Articles : petecowell commented on news 8 More Sounds in China that Drive Expats Insane (Part II)

A few years ago I was having a pint at the bar in Sashas, in Shanghai, minding my own business, when several garrulous, bright young things from the UK and North America breezed through the door. They ordered champagne - then sent it back claiming it was too warm - and settled on Tsing Tao. All the while they were ... Full Comment>>

I have no idea, but it seems unlikely that a Professor of Economics and Chinese Sustainable Development at a Russell Group university would write something like this. As I mentioned before, though, I might be wrong. Full Comment>>

Articles : petecowell commented on news 16 Things in Chinese Society that Foreigners Envy

A quick scan of his UoN personal page reveals that he's lived in the UK since the 80s, and his serious published work tends to be a bit more in depth and academically focused than the content of this piece. It doesn't seem like the sort of ... Full Comment>>
