Ryan
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.
Lost Laowai and
The Hao Hao Report are his brain children. He apologizes if they've caused you any harm.
Rick
The Newfie-in-the-know, the Pandasteak himself... From the rocky cold shores of Eastern Canada to the rocky cold shores of Dalian - Rick brings some small-town wit and insight to the Lost Laowai blog. He is also a freelance Ninja...
Steven
Steven has recently embraced the cathartic nature of blogging in place of talking to himself on public transport, or taking opium and attempting to write a novel. Who said technology was unhealthy?
JohnG
John Guise is a Canadian who came to Shanghai on a whim after been laid off from his newspaper job in 2003. Four years later, he’s become pretty good at Mandarin and visited a lot of Chinese factories. He currently does marketing for a consulting firm in Shanghai.
Matt
Matt is a native Californian who first came to China in 2004 with the intention for staying a year, getting a bit of teaching experience, and then going home. He still remains, now living in the Spring City of Kunming, Yunnan Province where he struggles to learn Chinese among other pursuits.
Tam
Tam, despite an aversion to big cities, pollution and large numbers of people, is living and teaching in Beijing...happily.
Rachel
Once a great traveling-bard-slash-philosopher, Rachel lost her mandolin to a migrant kiwi picker in a roadside dice match in the Yangtze River Valley. Penniless, mandolin-less, and blindly wandering the spit-laden streets of Beijing, she's now subjugated by the man and wants to know if the NAACP will grant her official permission to sing the blues.
Philip
Philip is a Double Bass player from England currently working in the Lanzhou Symphony Orchestra. He started with music singing in the choir in church, and has been playing either full- or part-time ever since.
Lauren
Lauren Buckalew has happily lived in Nanjing and Shanghai since 2002 because her parents never received the e-mail in which she articulated why she was not going back (and thus never had the chance to protest). She is from West Chester, Pennsylvania which is--no, not near LA. No, not San Fransisco either. Yes, near the 76ers! This is her first time writing for a blog, so please be forgiving.
Turner
Turner Sparks is an American who has been living in China since August 2004. In his free time he enjoys appearing on Chinese dating shows, driving ice cream trucks and doing unsolicited, unpaid, and unapproved scouting for the Sacramento Kings and Florida Marlins.
Turner's written 7 posts.
Chris
People keep asking Chris why he came to China, and he never has a good answer. In theory, he plans to return to being a professional journalist, someday. And in theory, communism works. He lives in Dalian, for the moment.
Dezza
Having served his time in China and the China blogging world, Dezza retreated to the relative comforts of Hong Kong. Dezza has travelled extensively throughout the Mainland and Hong Kong and has written and photographed his experiences since day one.
Kendra
Kendra once hid in her Beijing apartment for three weeks eating peanut butter, coconut shavings and bullion cubes. She named her first computer "Zot", and stubbornly called it that until she was 15. Kendra plays RPGs, and also has a vagina. She hopes that's OK with you.
Jeremy
Jeremy would like to get the heck out of here but also knows he would miss it when gone. Living in China has changed his life in a similar way that living in Lost would change you, thinks it is all a bit too confusing and tries to do 'stuff' at a couple of sites otherwise known as 'blogs'.
John
John wishes he was one of those hardcore laowai, living in the villages and lacing his speech with naughty Hunanese swear words, but he likes delivery pizza too much to leave Shanghai. He originally hails from Orlando, Florida, and is brought to you by the color orange and the number seven.
Alex
One day Alex was bored, thought "wouldn't it be cool to live in China" and ended up in Dalian. That's it really.
Gabriel
Gabriel is trying to understand this country from the bottom up, and so far, the bottom is as far up as he's gotten.
Gabriel's written 3 posts.
Biscuet
Jonathan, or Biscuet if you're his real friend, loves spending valuable time with Chinese people. He also gets confused when writing biographies in the third person. Jonathan "Biscuet" would much rather you read his blog than read his pitiful third person bio. He wants to be your friend.
