2008 China Blog Awards about to begin
The 2008 edition of the annual China Blog Awards is about to kick off over at The Chinalyst, so if you’ve got yourself a China-focused blog, be sure to get your blog signed up and in the running.
As with last year’s competition, voting is done in a straight up “Digg-like” voting style, with everyone being [...]
Dedicated Follower of Chinese Fashion
Cultural understanding; it’s a lot of what this fine multi-authored blog is all about. So, in my latest missive for Lost Laowai, I’ll get straight to the point in trying to help you understand the sociological signage and semiology of contemporary Chinese male fashion.
All right, I’ll come clean, that’s just an excuse for a new [...]
Photo of the Week: Yuanyang Harvest
I’ve often seen images of the Yunnan rice terraces, but they’ve all shown them as a lush-layered green. This is the first time I’ve seen them at harvest time, bringing to mind the cornucopia of colours that decorate the countryside of my home country, Canada, at this time of year. Be sure to check out photographer Benjamin Kong’s amazing collection of stunning photos.
Roland Soong’s Undelivered Speech
Entitled “Reflections Of A Bridge Blogger”, Roland Soong’s CNBloggercon speech wonderfully sums up the transition that’s happened, largely due to the Internet, in China over the past five years that he’s been writing EastSouthWestNorth. Unfortunately, due to a family emergency, attendees at the 2008 China Blogger Convention in Guangzhou last weekend were unable to hear [...]

Rebuilding Trust (in Chinese Baby Milk Formula)
Well, that was pretty quick. Just two whole months since the worst of the melamine in Chinese brands of baby formula scandal – and tragedy – two of the companies involved in the food tainting, YiLi and MengNiu, are already starting PR drives to build up trust, and rebuild their shattered sales in the lucrative [...]
The Olympics Ruined Beijing Taxi Drivers
It’s not fair to make a judgement call on an isolated incident, but for past two months i have experienced the same situation time after time when dealing with taxi drivers in Beijing. The bottom line is this: I feel like they hate foreigners and don’t even want to try to deal with them.
My Chinese [...]
You buying the Angry Expat Ideology?

I was standing on the street corner the other day waiting for a taxi beside a middle-aged foreigner doing the same. This isn’t uncommon, I live in a rather laowai-saturated area of Suzhou. The corner also works as an impromptu parking spot for people looking to dash over to the bakery, or pick up [...]
