Chinese Radio: Loveline
Every time I go back to the US for a business trip, I’m lucky enough to go home and bring some stuff back to me to Shenzhen. Familiar DVDs, old family pictures and past books have made my Shenzhen apartment feel more like home. One of the things I’ve recently brought over from the US [...]
Wal-Mart Bringing Sexy Back to Chinese Girls
I love Wal-Mart.

I have such a great opportunity to explore China, [...]

Shenzhen: Diversity in Languages
On my last foray into HK, my friend, Jason, and I were waiting in the Luo Hu customs line. The paperwork usually goes by pretty quick, but for some reason, it took really long this time. So we stood there and exhausted all the small talk we could think off. In the middle of our [...]
Door to Door Male Cosmetics
Something interesting just happened. At 4:45 pm Sunday, my apartment door bell rang. After opening the door, I found 2 guys, about 20-25 years old attempting to sell me cosmetic products. How weird. Here’s the low down: Guy 1 wore a nice suit and seemed to have his stuff together. Guy 2 was a younger [...]
