Heiney - Checking out his website, I discovered he delivers COD! I think I'm going to have to place an order with him in the near future. - Read »
Ryan - Correct me if I'm wrong, but "Dumbass" is not really an accurate translation based on the lyrics... - Read »
Ryan - It cost me a fortune. ;)
JK. Thanks for the inclusion Chinawhisper. - Read »
Ryan - Absolutely perfect choice of photo for the submission, but could use the NSFW... just... well... because I put so much time into adding the NSFW feature (and there are some more sensitive people and their co-workers among us). - Read »
Heiney - Congrats, Ryan, for Lost Laowai making the list. - Read »
RanE - Note that tittle of the post is Fruit in China and not Chinese Fruit. The post aims to help people to get their fruit in China even if they don't speak Chinese, that's the dictionary also has "regular" fruit in it and not only the exotic stuff. Dragon Fruit specifically is very common in China yet... - Read »
RanE - Good Question. I will ask them :-)
Especially because they used the wrong link 3 times... - Read »
KalanStar - Wondering why "dragon fruit" is part of a Chinese food post? Like 60% of all our grains, vegetables, and fruit, it's from the Americas... - Read »
nommoc - Dear Ryan and Nicki, thank you both for the candid feedback on lack of Android support. Initial app development took much longer than expected (especially as it relates to capturing the 2500 hand-written characters), therefore on initial release there was no Android support. ; (
Looks like we need... - Read »
BobbyM - So, how did a story that looks just like your story end up on the World of Chinese? - Read »
KalanStar - How many times have we told our female friends when they head off to the clubs for a fun night "not to drink too much"? The implication being, perhaps if they do they'll be a victim of sexual violence, or at the very least, unwanted sexual attention if they are drunk. Sexual predators may select... - Read »
KalanStar - These dramas always depict victorious PLA fighting the Japanese. In reality, Chinese troops very rarely won a battle against the Japanese and the PLA even more rarely still ever fought the Japanese. Basically, if a story is about Chinese fighting the Japanese, it is "historically inaccurate". I... - Read »
Nicki - Ding! Serious market gap here, people. Make this kind of program for Android and you will win the interwebs. - Read »
Ryan - I got a bunch of e-mails (one for each of my sites) from nommoc expounding the tragedy of expat illiteracy. Good interview, though unfortunately the app being available only on iOS makes it a non-starter for me .. and the reason why the Skritter app is gathering dust as well on my old iPod. If this... - Read »
Ryan - The wife and I studied kendo briefly when we lived in Suzhou. It was hard, but a lot of fun too. There aren't a whole lot of sports that require you to bash your teacher on the head with a stick. - Read »
Ryan - This is way way up there on my irrational fears list. Maybe a little less "irrational" now. - Read »
Heiney - Yeah, you're one of those. You use a Chinese term here and a Chinese term there so you seem so intelligent. GOOD for you! YEAH! Super Laowai!
Über Respect, you'll get now! - Read »
KalanStar - I read news like this and my first thought is: "f*ck China!" - Read »
BobbyM - When we went to Chongqing in July 2011, watermelon was in season. It was for sale everywhere along the streets and served frequently in the restaurants. It was really fresh and delicious! One of the things I love about Chinese culture is how fresh fruit is served at the end of a meal. This is your... - Read »
Gaius - They're 老百姓 and 普通人 when it serves them, then suddenly important and unique when they want money. - Read »
Gaius - I bet it was actually just your classic Chinese fight, 99 vs. 1. - Read »
Ryan - Please remember to remove the blog's title from the title of the post you're submitting. (ie. " | BeingInAwe"). - Read »
