Nice article. Exciting to do that in of all places, as you said, China. So what's the name of the band just in case you make headlines and I can say; "Hey I know them!?" Full Comment>>

Blogs : DaqingDevil Posted a new blog Summer Discovery - Longfeng, China

The weather has been real Aussie BBQ type days although the humidity is not to my liking. In winter the weather can best be described as dry, humidity wise, so you don’t get that sweaty body from wearing too many clothes. Summer? Well with the Daqing area being part of a huge wetland system I suppose ...

Certainly an interesting article and Chinese companies sure have been busy. But where? The countries in which Chinese companies have built, are building or are planning to build are poor, developing countries. As a result of their economic standing the use of local labor is probably as cheap if not cheaper than ... Full Comment>>

That was so well written I am salivating all over my keyboard. I make my own pizza but that alternative with the bread sounds divine. I can only buy mozzarella and cheddar here but I have the spaghetti sauces and the tomato paste pizza base. Gonna try that asap. One of the pizzas I make is peeled prawns marinated in ...

I will tell you about the last lesson of Happy English I taught a year ago to a group of students aged from 9 to 11. The subject was ‘Sport’ and I was tempted to load up an Australian Rules Football game and just let them sit and enjoy but eventually thought better of it and prepared a lesson a little ...

Around China : DaqingDevil commented on news Woman Claims Her Dog Was “Raped”; Claims 100,000 RMB

As I understand the law - if it was done "doggy style" there is no offence. That's consensual sex. However, if he had that bitch on her back and her pant(s) pant(s)down, that's definitely forced sex. The police should check the public cameras before they discard this case and perhaps be a little more dogged in their ... Full Comment>>

I had a haircut today and, well, I am intrigued at the number of hairdressers that exist in this city. I don’t dare call them “barbers” which is an expression unfamiliar to Chinese anyway and in fact, I have seen the word only once in an English book here. I said the word ‘barber’ in a ...

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.

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>>

Articles : DaqingDevil commented on news Masturbation in China: Survey Reveals Intriguing Results

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>>
