There are many mental illnesses that afflict us, but clearly all of us in China are crazy. I’m not sure if it has something to do with toxic adhesives in our toothpaste, the fumes that we breathe everyday, or a slow deterioration of the brain from repeating things thousands of times to no effect...

Follow Turner Sparks, an American expat living in Jiangsu, as he and his friend Jake trek the 1,000 km from Suzhou to Chengdu to aid in the earthquake relief efforts there. This is part one of a multi-part series.
Ningbo Expat wants to thank you to all participating in our 150th Ningbo Expat dinner on 1st August, 2007.
We are happy and also a somewhat proud, being the first group of foreigners that did such a charity event for supporting Chinese flood victims in Anhui province.
Thank you to all that have spent also their time and efforts to make this event to be successful and also to the Ningbo press which was so kind to take this event to report about, even it was on the memorable day of the 80th university of the PLA.
