A quick note to wish everyone a very happy new year! With the tragedy, controversy and craziness of China’s 2008 now behind us, 2009 is bound to be tame by comparison. Somehow, however, I suspect this crazy country us laowai call home is bound to find ways to keep things interesting and you can be sure that Lost Laowai will be there to sigh and shake our heads at it all.
We’ve also got some interesting things planned for the site in the new year, so be sure to stay tuned.
From all of us at Lost Laowai, all the best to you and yours in 2009.
Ryan came to China in the wee morning of 2005 as a way to get to Australia. He assumes there's still a visa waiting for him at the Sydney airport. 
Happy New Year to you Ryan!
