The Lost Laowai
Ryan
Ryan's called China home for nearly seven years now. A short time to some, a long time to others, for him it's just right.
In addition to creating Lost Laowai, he also runs Hao Hao Report and China Blog Network. Follow him on Twitter @ryanmmclaughlin.
Matt
Matt spent six years in China, mainly based in the beautiful spring city of Kunming. During that time he worked in consulting, journalism as well as English teaching. Matt studied Chinese for 2+ years and loved exploring the mountains of Yunnan by mountain bike). He now lives in New York City where he is pursuing a Masters in International Affairs at Columbia University.
Travis
Travis lived in China from 2008 - 2010. He's now in the States, where he feels more "lost" than he ever did in China.
Nicki
Nicki's lived in Hainan with her husband Erik since 2005. She hangs out in Haikou these days with her two pet dogs, Baozi the Dingo and Mocha the Mutt, reading the internets and pretty much anything else she can get her hands on. When there's nothing else to read she figures it must be time to write something instead...
Michael
Michael has lived in China on-and-off since 2007. After having spent the past twenty odd years as a student, he is now starting out life as a teacher. He can currently be found in China’s other spring city of Jinan, Shandong.
Becky
Becky came to China in 2009 with her husband expecting to stay for half a year. Three years later they have no plans to leave. In addition to teaching English, she spends her time studying Chinese, traveling and drinking as much tea as she can get her hands on.
Marian
Marian may not know where she is, how she got there, or how her current location relates to where she wants to be, but she never ever gets lost.
She initially came to China as an English teacher in 2002. She's still here.
Last year she stopped being a freelancer and registered the first wholly foreign owned translation agency in Hainan Province.
The photo’s Flickr page says it was taken mid-October.
