Blogs : DaqingDevil commented on Sinobear 's blog An Open Letter to Real Estate Agents

Well written Sino. Almost, but not quite, remind me of real estate agents even in OZ at times. What they want to sell you - not what you want. Bloody funny though. Thanks. Full Comment>>

Blogs : DaqingDevil commented on murphy903 's blog Western Education vs. Eastern Education

Like most things in life people should adopt the maxim of "everything in moderation". This applies to education as well. Going to school for 6 - 7 hours a day and depending on your level a few hours of homework in the evening is moderation. Going to school for 9 - 10 hours a day, attending weekend classes and ...

Blogs : DaqingDevil commented on sally01 's blog Why is it so Hard to Give Working Permits to Qualified Filipino Teachers Wanting to Continue Working in China?

Sally you are right. Existing visas and permits prior to September for Philippine nationals are still being honoured. However, as I have found out, nearly all provinces in China are adopting the rule that only native speakers are to be employed as teachers and be given working visas. I tried to recruit 2 Filipinos ... Full Comment>>

Who knows who submitted that story but unless the condom had a stone or pebble inside it would be physically impossible for it to shatter a windscreen. Even dropped from 20 floors it could never attain a velocity fast enough to do really any damage and would almost be floating down seconds after it was dropped. I've ... Full Comment>>
