Good people and bad everywhere people. Sure you have complaints but they are probably only different and proportional to the complaints you had back home. Full Comment>>

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 ...

Ahh man, have a heart for a sucker. Almost want to go over to Louhu and find the guy, take him to dinner and give him a hug. Full Comment>>

I am going to go ahead and write this out, anonymously hoping my VPN is truly masking me. It's the ugly truth that anyone who has been in country for more than a minute knows or should no. The visa system is designed in a way so that compliance is almost impossible. Who hires someone from a foreign country, spends ... Full Comment>>

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>>

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>>

Props for guts guys. Full Comment>>

Funny, I think China and America really are twins. This happened in USA a few years ago. Cop shot himself in the foot right after saying he was the only person qualified enough to carry a gun. Full Comment>>

Man, guest+6# makes me sad. Republicans have made it to China. Dash! I moved here to get away from you people. Full Comment>>

Super boring. Not worth the trip. Full Comment>>

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>>

There is still not much info on this list anywhere on the internet, including the SAFEA site. Is this actually for real? How does the process work? Is there due process or just a one sided reporting scheme that companies can use to try to further control teachers? 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>>

And here we have a case of "apples and oranges." Two completely different things. This girl "cheap bimbo" or not, did not place a post saying she was a terrorist and was going to bomb something. She just put on a sexy costume. Did not try to arrest anyone. So no, not end of story. But nice trying ... Full Comment>>

Hardly "impersonating" Not like she is really holding herself out to be a cop. No more than someone dressing up as one for halloween. Critical thinking? Full Comment>>

No it is not "unbridled." You cannot shout fire in s crowded theatre. The US Supreme Court just had to issue a decision saying you could not be arrested for videoing a police officer performing their duty (or involved in misconduct). Sadly, this was happening a lot. It is not perfect. It is aspirational. ... Full Comment>>

Yeah, I figured that out and worked out or carefully assessed my accomodation after that. It was rookie mistake. Now I teach and live at a uni where the gate guards pay no attention and I was direct in letting them know that I would not accept restrictions on my housing. One of the other teachers actually has his ... Full Comment>>

Ahhh relax people. It looks like the same people go hang out on message board's in the US call each other names anonymously are here as well. And matched by their Chinese counterparts bc Epiphany people: Chinese and Americans are so very much alike it is hilarious. We all love money. Keeping up with Joneses... and ... Full Comment>>
