Hey all, with the holiday week in full swing, I totally lost track of the China: Love It ~ Hate It group writing project and that it was meant to finish yesterday.
Though this GWP failed to attract a huge number of submissions (I’ll blame it on everyone busy preparing for the holiday), we did get some good quality posts.
I kicked things off with my rundown of the good and bad of Chinese supermarkets.
Rick, in his post Black + White = Fucking Grey, summed things up with:
China is like a really cheap, slutty ex-girlfriend with crabs. You know without all the make-up she’s way ugly underneath, and you know she’s way dirty and you shouldn’t go near her…
…but all the same, you can’t help but be somewhat attracted.
Jeremy, in a two–parter, compared and contrasted the places China can show you both around the country and in your self, with some of the country’s short comings in education, civility towards the impoverished and the environment.
Philip, asking the question: China 好ä¸å¥½?, constructed the most eclectic list of the group.
And Heather, who gets extra kudos for being the only blogger to take part that isn’t a writer here at Lost Laowai, wrote a rapid fire post further illustrating that there’s a lot to love and a lot to hate about living in China.
A big thanks to all you that participated. And if, by chance, you were just about to post on this topic but like myself lost track of the date – please do so anyway, I’m happy to include your posts on our [GWP Links] China: Love It ~ Hate It summary page.
