Commie Comics

I just got this link from my friend Derrick (www.maskofchina.com) and man is it funny stuff. It’s an old comic put out by the Catholic Guild designed to promote citizenship, morality and patriotism. This bit ran in 1961. The other interesting link I got recently was from another Dalian blogger. It is essentially a blog …

Wooly Jumpers – A soft tragedy

If you don’t get the subject line, you’ve likely not called me in China. That’s right folks… I hadn’t mentioned my secret plans, but I was resting whether I actually went to Australia or just returned to Canada on who called me first – someone from Welland or someone from Melbourne (I’m discounting my Aunt …

X The X-ray

I know there’s a few of you that just logged on to the Internet to discover if it is possible for a Canadian male (approx. 27 years of age) to get from Dalian to Shenyang and back in a day… and let me tell you: it is indeed my friends, it is indeed. I caught …

A Strong Movement

What a beautifully euphemistic term ‘movement’ is… its very mention inspires a sense of something happening. It’s exciting. Possibly people getting together to stand up for what they believe in.

When You’re A Stranger

I’ve had a desire to figure out this Mahjong thing since coming to China and now having clocked about an hour and a half of watching it unfold infront of me I can safely state – I’m no closer to understanding it. Ok, I know it involves tiles – a shit load of them – …

Bingyu Valley

Aaron, Summer, Lorna and yours truly. [photo by Lorna] I’m not entirely sure why I always attempt to write these entries when I should by all accounts be gently passed-out beneath the covers of my bed. I mean, there’s nothing stopping me from turning this laptop off and getting my much earned sleep… yet, here …

Sun of a Beach

Last night I partook in one of the oddest things I’ve ever done. A friend of mine (who we’ll call Monica – even though it’s a guy) knows this woman that gets a kick out of hooking up Chinese girls with Western guys… it’s how Mo…nica met his current, rather attractive, girlfriend and as such …
