Movin’ and Shakin’

Well, we’re all moved in to our new apartment. After a few hiccups and finally having to agree to having a rent increase after six months (I knew that 1,000 yuan thing was too good to be true), we moved in Thursday. Last night shortly before meeting Cam and Maeve for some dinner in our …

Corporate Responsibility: Again

Continuing the conversation of an earlier post about cheap labour in developing countries, I wanted to post a video I found on my friend Rick’s (highly improved!) site – Panda Passport. Essentially the video shows how employees are exploited by a factory in Shenzhen, China, that produce goods for more developed nations – in this …

No Press For The Wicked

It is never far from my mind that I should perhaps watch what I say on my site about China. When I first arrived in this country little more than a year ago and befriended Mask of China blogger Derrick, I had him instill a bit of fear about who might be watching me. Though …

Lower The Red Lantern

To celebrate the group of us from Jin San Jiao went down to the crazily stuffed Xinghai Square to watch the fireworks. The display was impressive, if not a bit more systematic than the skyfull of explosions two weeks ago. After the show we tried hopelessly to get a cab to Labour Park, but it …

THEN I realize that Blogger, the site …

Baby, Baby

Welcome to the world Dakota Justice Wright (the smaller pinkish thing in the picture), born February 3rd to my bestfriend CJ (the larger pinkish thing in the picture). I generally don’t like reading about other people’s friends having babies, so I’m going to assume you all don’t particularlly care about his – unless you know …

Ciao Entry

Well, I’ve been a bit shit at posting, and I hate that I’m now a blogger that is posting that statement. I mean, like it’s your problem I’ve been verbally constipated. Hell, I should be thanking you for even making this part of your day. Thank you. I guess it’s not so much a lack …

Haerbin There, Done That

Well, the party’s over folks. For us Future School peoples anyway. We’re all back at school today, making up for Christmas Day. It went quickly though, and I’m home now trying desperately to post about my trip to Haerbin 哈尔滨, also known as the coldest place I’ve ever experienced. All my thoughts of “Hey, I’m …
