Just a quick note to let everyone know that should they be unable to reach the site over the next 24 hours it's because we're moving to better servers.
Our servers are currently located in the US, but for whatever reason the pipe to the data centre is being squeezed when it hits its last hop before leaving China - causing frequent timeouts and extremely slow access to readers here in China. As such, we'll be movin…

I'm a bit crap at remembering birthdays, and so this is a bit late - but Lost Laowai officially turned 2 years old a week or so ago.
It's a bit hard to believe that it was that long ago I started clacking away on my keyboard attempting to put together some sort of site that could deliver information and opinions about China that didn't have any particular "agenda" (hence the whole "no-nonsense" China guide/expat c…
China bloggers unite! The China Blog Network has arrived.
In an effort to tie together all us sinobloggers, we're launching the China Blog Network, a (appropriately enough) network of China blogs that all link together in a ring-around-the-rosie style (we're praying we don't all fall down).
Though most of us link to each other through our blogrolls, I thought it might be more convenient, and fun, to have a meth…
Happy New Year - the Hao Hao Report is back!
Thanks for everyone's patience while I wrestled with getting this back up and running. The problem was one part server-side slowness, and one part me being on holidays - a recipe that made getting the server transfered to its new home a bit of a challenge.
But it all seems to be up and running now - so be sure to get your China stories posted and vote for those poste…
Hey all, I'm technically on holidays, so please excuse the lame posting schedule and sorry to finally break the silence with the craptastic news the the Hao Hao Report is currently down.
The site is in the middle of switching servers, and breaking myself away from seeing friends and family I've not seen for a year and a half is proving quite the obstacle in getting it all done.
I do apologize profusely, and gre…
Well, with YouTube blocked in China, and all the search engines all getting redirected to Baidu, what's a boy to do but play with himself... erm... his Web sites.
I adore the Hao Hao Report. She's my little baby, but her looks have always irked me. Due to a rather crappy separation between source code and styling, whipping up a custom template has always been a bit of a headache I wasn't willing to endure. Until n…
It's been a couple months since our first Group Writing Project, and as it was quite successful, we feel it's time for round two. The topic this time is "China: Love It ~ Hate It".
We're big fans of the dao and the wacky balance therein here at Lost Laowai, and as such wanted to offer a chance for the China blogsphere to delve into the things they both love and hate most about this country.
There's no limit on …
In a last ditch effort to get my feeds working again, I wrote Feedburner. Their response, despite not being what I was hoping for, was at least honest. They've basically given up, and so shall I.
Hello,
Unfortunately, at this time we don't have any new information to share and any blocks you noticed a week or two ago are likely to still be in place. We're working with Google China staff to see if any possible res…
