It’s easy to get negative when blogging, but here are 10 reasons why living in China is really rather marvellous
This well-done post from Sinosplice should have you salivating before you can say ??????! John does well at explaining his well-coined "windows of deliciousness" concept, whereby every food has a window of time in which it is best consumed. He
Like in any culture, the best way to get to know someone is to sit down to the table and share a meal with them.
Perhaps this will explains why it is so hard for Indians and Chinese to do business...
It’s about time that the companies jointly urged the government to act in such a way. (I assume that such standards would be domestic and of course, have some ramifications for international trade as well) Now the hard question is this: will it happen?
Do you have the courage to order from the Chinese menu?
