Dec 25, 2013 13:10Blogs : Sinobear Posted a new blog China Ove the Past 15 Years
China Over the Past 15 Years Paulberger asked me on a thread in the Questions Forum “How has China changed over the years?” To answer this requires more than just an “off-the-cuff” answer, hence this Blog post. Preamble: I’m not rich, I didn’t come to China on a whim, I ...

An Open Letter to Real Estate Agents in China Thank you for your time in reading this (although I know you would have found this letter completely by accident as it is not a game or involve tips on how to make large sums of money by doing nothing). I’ve been in China for 15 years. I’ve rented at least ...

The problem doesn't stem from passengers bringing too much carry-on baggage, the problem is the airlines not enforcing the rules regarding carry-on limits in the first place. Full Comment>>

Nov 02, 2013 17:37Articles : Sinobear commented on news Bilingual Binds: Methods of Raising Children to Speak Two Languages
Another diss at native English speakers. The idea is that a native English speaker, from a country whose official language is English, can teach the culture of said country. A fluent English speaker from India may outshine me in the classroom, but cannot relate the culture of Canada to the students. As most students ... Full Comment>>

Oct 22, 2013 18:49Blogs : Sinobear Posted a new blog TV Commercials that Drive Me Over the Edge!!!
I have young kids. They turn the TV on first thing in the morning and only my wife gets turned off by me later than them in the evening. Now, my kids don’t actually vegetate in front of the TV, they much prefer to destroy the foundation of the apartment and override my wife’s iPad screenlock. But! Whilst ...

Thank you for reading this letter (although I know you can’t read nor understand English anyway, which is why you continuously ignore a huge niche market in China). I just want to say that I understand that you have hundred of millions of mobile subscribers and that you can’t please everyone, but I would ...

It's not like these "delicacies" are eaten by Chinese on a regular basis, either. I've seen enough people who eat the exact same thing each and every day. What I take exception to in the article is the constant mention of "unclean." What not use the correct term for unused chicken feet, innards, entrails, etc.? We ... Full Comment>>

I love how you've managed to cover the fact that people with no useful skills to offer are trying to run schools in China! So crafty! The uneducated person would have thought that this was about westerners trying to compete with the Chinese on their own turf...but c'mon, 'kung-fu'? It all clicked what you really ... Full Comment>>

These are not "traditions"...20 years ago, owning a vehicle and private ownership of housing was unheard of. It's just yet another money-grab but short-sighted older generations. Figure this, "traditionally' a woman would "belong" to the man's family after marriage and have nothing to do with her own family. Today, ... Full Comment>>
