We have 2 black Americans, from Brooklyn New York, working here. We also have a teacher from Cameroon. He's been here 11 years, has a business and 2 kids with his Chinese wife. Acceptance is a strange thing isn't it? Hang in there. In a country like this if 5% of the population don't mind black people that's almost ... Full Comment>>

I don't know about China Unicom workers but I would love to have a few of these aprons to carry with me into some of the banks I have been to. Maybe they should have one that says "Hippopotamus" to cater for the employee that blocks any moves you make to get something done! Full Comment>>

DaqingDevil on HoldenColfield 's blog Press One for English(13 comments)
Yeah isn't that the truth! A blog, for those that have never written one, can be a difficult assignment. Even for those with experience it can be quite a challenge.

DaqingDevil on news The “Unfriendly” Expats? Stereotypes of Russians in China(51 comments)
Thanks for a very informative and interesting article. You're right on the money with the way you suggest we think of Russians. Funny that the Chinese think Russians are rude! Chinese don't like the direct approach that's for sure. In my trips to Harbin I have met quite a few Russians but the association with them ... Full Comment>>

DaqingDevil on news Elderly Man Builds DIY Helicopter; Maiden Voyage Set for Dragon Boat Festival(3 comments)
I don't think his 3rd grade education or the depth of the TV shows provided such technical information as you've stated. The little propeller blades on the back are from household fans so not is it NOT ever going to fly but I suggest it will also sink during the Dragon Boat race!!! Da Vinci was a dreamer too.......

No you're not the only one. I thought it was pretty humorous and tongue in cheek too. Many people seem to have adopted the Chinese way of criticizing everything, or hang on, is that a western custom? Not all things written about and listed need to apply to you but I can relate to a couple. Got a cold? I occasionally ... Full Comment>>

This article was okay but I felt it touched on just one small aspect of the problems and frustrations, the tip of the iceberg.

His crime was getting caught....or as it said....parading his stupidity for others to see.

Well written article and so true. You have captured the Chinese psyche almost to a tee. I wonder whether it is this self 'deception' that stops them from moving forward in social development? It's certainly frustrating for those of us trying to understand. Full Comment>>
