There are few things the Chinese seem to take as seriously as their coveted Traditional Chinese Medicineâ„¢. Though TCM is a complex and multi-faceted health practice, some of it, it needs to be said, is complete bunk. Walking into any pharmacy here is like taking a step into the hovel of MacBeth’s three witches. I’ve …Read More

Announcer: Well folks, it’s that time again. “What time is that,” you ask? Well, my naive foreign friends, it’s time once again to play “What’s My Party Line?” Which – coincidentally – works for either our beloved CCP or a bunch of friends on a shaky 1950’s telephone connection. [chortle, chortle] Ahem. Our contestants today …Read More
Sometimes, in China, people get bored. Look, I hate to be the one to burst your tiny ethnocentric, Sinopheliac bubble, but after the first three months of requisite ooh-ing and ah-ing at all the Cultureâ„¢, you’ve had your fill of berry-faced beggar children and all you want is a cup of hot chocolate and some …Read More

Well, with YouTube blocked in China, and all the search engines all getting redirected to Baidu, what’s a boy to do but play with himself… erm… his Web sites. I adore the Hao Hao Report. She’s my little baby, but her looks have always irked me. Due to a rather crappy separation between source code …Read More
Back in June, I posted about The Walking Dutchman, Jans Vroomans. This dude is pretty hardcore. He set out last year, on October 14 (2006), from the Netherlands. His intention was to walk all the way to China, passing through the Ukraine, Russia, and Kazachstan. Ambitious hey? And here I find it hard to walk …Read More
I’ve lived in a few countries, travelled through some more, went to school, made friends, associated or worked with people from all over the world and have learned languages that were never spoken by any of my ancestors, but not before I crossed into the People’s Universe of China, had the concept of someone or …Read More

As some of you may have heard, the Olympics are coming to Beijing next August. No, really. And beside colourful rings, fancy logos and a bunch of sickeningly cute paraphernalia, the key imagery of the event has got to be the Olympic Torch. Starting last June the Olympic committee began hunting out the near 22,000 …Read More
She was thinking Only the last two hours Learningpdf of patrolling in the street were available, and I could survive. Shakes continued. The first time she felt uneasy this morning ITIL test as she walked into a bush. Someone is watching me. The hot wind blew through the dry bushes and made the rustling sound. …Read More
Anyone that’s taught for more than 10 minutes in China’s public school system will attest to how craptastic the supplied text books are. Chinese-produced pablum that bears the name of prominent Western universities in hopes that no one will notice that the content is blander than a bowl of zhou. A recent Southern Weekend article …Read More
