Hao Hao ReportThe best China news and blog posts

Steven, Lost Laowai's newest writer, has some excellent tips on how to make sure this Chinese New Year is brought in with the appropriate usage of fireworks. A great read for us expats, and for the locals as well!

Join Ping, Mary-Sue, Monkey as they play "What's My Party Line?" in this humorous first post from Lost Laowai's newest writer. Funny stuff indeed.

Here is a post from the Free Hao Wu site. Though a little late (posted July 12th), it's not to be missed. A wonderful ending to what looked for a long time to be a horrible tragedy. Welcome home Hao! Truely HAO HAO!

A look at resources for professional expats...

The first list in a series of link to copyrighted media hosted on Chinese youtube-like sites. Included in this edition are: 24 Season 1 & 2, Lost Season 1, Prison Break Season 1 & 2, Ghostbusters, Spiderman, The Godfather, The Professional and more.

As "The Laowai Death Stare" is having so much success in the hao!hao! report, I thought we could draw some attention on another post on the same subject and that i find even more funny (and interesting!).

This post from Angry Chinese Blogger details the Chinese response (and a good deal of related history) to the British government's recent report "encouraging" Beijing to step up and make good on its promises to introduce full democracy in the UK's former colony of Hong Kong. A good backgrounder for anyone curious about HK affairs.

A funny, and on-key letter that any expat in China can relate to. Going out to all family members back home who have yet to realize that living in China is a perfectly reasonably thing to do - and we don't have to "return to the real world" if we don't want to.

Meg over at Violet Eclipse gives us this recent photo-post that shows the eerie side of the off-season in Chinese amusement parks. Funny stuff.
