Around China : dandmcd commented on news China to Enforce a New Tourism Law on October 1

Yeah, we already know how this will work... Seriously though, I've heard 2 separate recent stories from Chinese friends of some areas becoming nothing but a tourist trap, with places charging to take pictures, sitting fees, and being forced to shop at a gift store and being shamed if you buy nothing. It's gotten ... Full Comment>>

Drug pushers in west Guangzhou are a dime a dozen, they caught 168, but I guarantee there are 50,000 more they missed. I can't walk anywhere in the North side of Yuexiu without someone trying to sell me something. Full Comment>>

Justin, please read the article before making comments, the foreigners were passengers in the taxis and bike, not the driver of the racing cars. I was just at the University registering, so there were a lot of foreigners around Haizhu the last few days. This could have very easily been me inside that taxi. I feel ... Full Comment>>

Never knew this was possible, wow. I can't say I've ever read anyone dying this way before. I knew some kids back in high school that carried around 2 litre bottles and could drink it all day long. Full Comment>>

Pretty amazing. I do hope someone gets this project in testing. The fact that the Tesla CEO believes in this project is telling to me that it is realistic and could be built once enough investment money is put into it. Full Comment>>

Blogs : dandmcd commented on Coffaholic 's blog The Weirdest Chinese Snacks I’m Addicted to

The Changsha snacks like stinky tofu are something I love that I would consider weird. I like the packaged kind you buy at the store doesn't have the horrible stench the street vendor version has, but it does have the amazing spicy taste. It's like eating a good beef jerky, only spicier. Full Comment>>

Thank goodness in America a lack of evidence will always be in the favor of the defendant. You shouldn't be able to prosecute any crime by he says/she says. The least the court could do was reduce the RMB amount in half since neither the defendant or accuser had any evidence. As a human being, I will always help an ... Full Comment>>

This is why China needs porn. Girls in maid outfits are best left to adult video and your private bedroom, not while 30,000 feet in the sky, or at a sit-down diner. Keep the wild fantasies where they belong, which is not being my possible lifeline in the sky or ensuring my order is taken and prepared the way I ... Full Comment>>

Always read reviews before you book a hotel. There is always people more picky than me when it comes to cleanliness of a hotel. If I see several recent bad reviews about a dirty hotel and notice a trend, I'll quickly move on to the next hotel. Yes, there are some who complain to just get a free hotel stay, but you ...
