Articles : Fordicus commented on news Chinese Monk and UK Bishop Hold Open Dialogue on Religion

In other news, I gathered with friends at a coffee shop to discuss our shared faith based belief in fairies. Through reflection and meditation, it was privately revealed to me that fairies have acrobatic mating rituals while flying, though sometimes their wings become tangled and they fall to earth, thus becoming ...

Blogs : Fordicus commented on adb2014 's blog Western man, Chinese woman relationship: What's it really like?

What drives me nuts is the superstition. Shut up about how bad cold water is already! It's bleeding hot outside! And no I will not drink some brew of bark and leaves that makes me sick at my stomach just because. And yes I will change out of my wet shirt when I get back to the gym but no I do not think I will be ... Full Comment>>

Around China : Fordicus commented on news High School Students in Fancy Dress Mistaken for Terrorists, Shot at by Police

WCG is probably from USA and knows American cops are scumbags. There was actually a kid playing with a toy gun not long ago who was shot and killed. No one had called to report anything. It gets caught on tape, unarmed people being shot for what appears to be no good reason, and nothing or very little ever happens ... Full Comment>>

Articles : Fordicus commented on news Can China Really Eclipse the US as the World’s Top Superpower?

For every criticism, China is a beautiful country with wonderful people. America has tons of problems as well but the good still far outweighs the bad. Still, after 16 months in China and SE Asia, the air in Washington, DC is so clean I can almost taste it. And so few people it seems, even in the city, in such a big ... Full Comment>>

Stuff happens in bars, yah know. The only problem I ever had in China was a bouncer in Suzhou who apparently had some problem with me dancing provocatively with an American girl so he walked up behind me and started punching me in the back. Head taller than me and a lot more weight, I turned around and smiled at him ... Full Comment>>

You get there and talk to the person who is in charge of hiring or the Chinese teaching assistant whose job it is to feign an interview ...
