Well he cheated on her because she didn't give him even enough money to buy water! What's the matter with her? Doesn't she know you have to 'pay' for love, loyalty and romance. Ain't love grand? PS: What an ungrateful bastard too! PPS: And she chased after him to try to win him back????? Silly woman! Full Comment>>

Should that heading then read: Han Chinese: Constructing the Largest RACIST Ethnic Group in the World? Full Comment>>

Gives new meaning to the term: bus line! Full Comment>>

Nice to read about the 'romantic' side of Chinese looking for love and marriage. Full Comment>>

Stayed in a hotel near the Olympic Stadium Beijing (Hey! Olympics! That could be it.)and after a KFC meal, something I rarely eat, I was quite ill for 9 days although the 1st day was the most challenging as I had to catch a flight back here. Some close calls there. Took some TCM to actually fix the problem after it ... Full Comment>>

Mr syoung108 if you read the article properly you would have discovered that the writer is still in China studying at the Sichuan university. Seems you stopped reading after he ate the rabbit's head and lived off saltine biscuits for 3 days. Full Comment>>

Well mr syoung108, I just enjoyed the read. Aren't I allowed to just say I like something? Maybe you can submit an article and I will do my utmost to please you with my 'typical repartee'. Full Comment>>

I guess this would be a prefect example of not wanting to hear those famous words: Houston....we have a problem! Full Comment>>

I don't want to appear too cynical but with probably 700 million - 800 million workers a few isolated cases hardly proves that they died from overwork. From my observations I could never believe that a bank worker, postal worker, supermarket attendant, security guard or a policeman would die from doing too much! ... Full Comment>>

Great article! Full Comment>>

I've read it twice and I still don't believe this is true!! Is it? I try to keep abreast of all the latest weird stuff....but.......practices like this have to be nippled...er...nipped in the bud! Full Comment>>

Great story. Must be a lot of detail in there that is worth sharing at some stage. I suppose it shows that there's not a lot of differentiation between people's life struggles and their dreams at times regardless of the country. With family back in Canada it must be hard for you at times. Full Comment>>

Here's another statistic that can be quoted from that study. 96.15% of men said they masturbated which means 3.85% of men are liars!!! Anyway, it's refreshing to see the country getting involved in studies of sexual habits even though most of us already know a fair bit about this topic. Full Comment>>

Apart from the toilet paper I didn't know any of those other things. Interesting and just adds to the weirdness of this place. Or are we strange and they are normal? Another 2 years here carrying my own toilet paper everywhere I go and I will think it's normal!! Full Comment>>

I would have appreciated a photo of the woman so that I could make up my mind whether to look for the bike or remain in a normal, happy life! Full Comment>>

A couple there I haven't tried. I had those rice crispy thingamies for the first time a couple of days ago.They were okay! I washed them down with a Tsingtao - mistake. Maybe the coffee is the way to go. Full Comment>>

Thanks for those games. I play a couple with slightly different rules but there are 2 games there that I will be trying straight away. Cheers Full Comment>>

Wow! I won!? Thanks to those who voted. It did become a war of attrition between Mojo and myself over the past few days and Chamaflauge has hit a truthful note about number of friends having a bit to do with it. I confess that after receiving an email (which everybody got) saying we should get all our friends and ... Full Comment>>

I guess the guys are lucky that they didn't receive the death penalty which would have meant no chance of appeal!!! Would a BJ constitute the same as a hand job? Bill Clinton once said: I didn't have sex with her. According to Chinese law he's damn right! Full Comment>>

You're probably right about the lack of community spirit evident among the Chinese today. It seems to be a blind acceptance of everything, a community in which either people are so busy trying to survive or past experience of complaining has resulted in little or no action and hence why bother? And yes, capitalism ... Full Comment>>

Maybe they were taking the cat for a LAB test! Full Comment>>

This gives new meaning to the expression: "Wolf (woof) down a meal!" Full Comment>>

Congratulations! Sounds like it all went well. It would certainly be different for me to attend a wedding where the bride was the foreigner. Full Comment>>

Spit vents??!! Really??!! Interesting observations. Modesty prevents me from being too crude but the openness in spas and pools certainly highlights a size issue doesn't it? Full Comment>>
