I’ve just started a group writing project over at the Lost Laowai blog. Basically, the idea is to get bloggers in the Sinosphere to blog about what they knew or thought they knew about this massive country before they got here (and became fat, jaded bastards like myself).

Aprilfoolery with Chinese characteristics

Sorry for anyone that spent any amount of time searching China Daily for that article I referenced yesterday.

Chinese Invented Baseball

It’s hard to take this recent article, found on China Daily, seriously. Baseball a Chinese invention (Xinhua) Updated: 2007-04-01 08:35 Though long thought to have evolved from the UK-created rounders, new evidence suggests that the sport of baseball’s origins extend back nearly 500 years to China’s Ming Dynasty (c1368-1644).

Titties On The TV

Right, so about five seconds ago I freaked out my wife with my titty sensing abilities. I, as usual, was drinking cheap Chinese cab sav and trying desperately to figure out what I was intending to do here at my computer, and she was watching the TV in the other room. Now you might imagine …

Jesus is Not Like Buddha

There are few things I hate more than evangelism. In fact, I would go so far as to say that much of the horrors of the world were brought on by evangelists.
