One hundred and ninety children are abducted in China every day. Nearly 70,000 per year. Take a moment, stare up at the ceiling, and ponder that number. Need some perspective? In the entire year of 2005 my home of Canada had 31 kidnapped kids[1]. The UK weighs in at the 60-70 mark[2] and even the …Read More

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 …Read More
Hey, just a quick post to remind everyone about the new Group Writing Project – China: Love It ~ Hate it. Only a couple days left (end of the day Monday submissions will be closed). Submissions are trickling in, and a number of people have sent e-mails saying they’ll be participating, so while we wait, …Read More
In a previous entry on my own blog, I was a bit scathing about our local Water Wheel Park, but I had another look recently and I must admit I have revised my opinion. On a hot, sunny late September day, I took the screaming yellow 144 bus to the bridge over the Yellow RIver …Read More
He stood there for a long time. Tami 70-410 dumps Joan and John desperately retreated until they reached the other Examprepwell side of the door, holding two sweaty bodies tightly together. The drivers hand bent into 200-105 Dumps exam the shape of a cup, blocking the lights shone on the street light, looked at them …Read More
It’s been a couple months since our first Group Writing Project, and as it was quite successful, we feel it’s time for round two. The topic this time is “China: Love It ~ Hate It“. We’re big fans of the dao and the wacky balance therein here at Lost Laowai, and as such wanted to …Read More
In a last ditch effort to get my feeds working again, I wrote Feedburner. Their response, despite not being what I was hoping for, was at least honest. They’ve basically given up, and so shall I. Hello, Unfortunately, at this time we don’t have any new information to share and any blocks you noticed a …Read More
We went to have lunch with one of Mei’s closest friends recently. There I met a lady who, after 2 years training in the early 80’s had been teaching English in high school. I soon became aware that she really didn’t have all that good a standard of spoken English, although she was perfectly understandable …Read More
As a regular air traveler to and from Beijing, I read with much interest the details of the new Beijing terminal that was showcased yesterday. I have no doubt the “design is gorgeous”. I have no doubt that the “design is world-class.” And since it’s China (quality control anyone?), I’m sure they built it really …Read More
Actually, it ‘Come From’ Shanghai. If Chinese companies can’t stand behind the Made In China stamp, it’s little wonder the rest of the world is running from it faster than you can say quilted tissue quality control. So, this is our new category – “Photos of the Week“. Every week we’ll feature a funny, interesting …Read More
Yes, It’s another one of my original headlines! Anyway, call me a counter-revolutionary hooligan if you like, or even an old f**t (lot’s do), but I really can’t get on with Chinese tea. I send loads of the finest Tei Guan Yin, excuse my pinyin, é“观音 to my Dad (86), who consumes it after lunch …Read More
