So, second year in China coming up....

[HEyHEY]

I must say I'm happy to stay despite the absolute utter bullshit one puts up with in China on a daily basis. But, I'm home now and don't feel a particular draw to it. So I guess that's that. One to another year of "whatthefuckery."

There's my now per annum life update.

[supernova]

1. You've been there a whole year already?

:wow: Time flies.

How do you stand the constraints on free speech and information?

[HEyHEY]

2. Proxies

I look at the free speech being none of my business. The chinese have to change things on their own. I support the trouble makers and will speak my mind, but I'm not about to go up to Zhong Nan Hai with a banner, cause it wouldn't do a lick of good.

[flvegan]

3. Damn, it's already been a year?

Seems like 3 month ago you were setting off.

Good to hear you're happy, though. :thumbsup:

[HEyHEY]

8. Yeah, thanks

I'd post more, but DU is hard to access there.

[rockymountaindem]

4. What kind of bullshit?

I've never been there.

[HEyHEY]

7. The insane amount of ineffeciency

Racism, repressive government, nationalistic bullshit... trying to get on the subway... all that.

[rug]

10. That's why I'm leaving the US.

[tigereye]

5. so how well do you speak the language by now? that's pretty damn cool.

Good to see you back here, and I too am amazed how fast time flies... :hi:

[HEyHEY]

6. I get by

I can hold minor conversations, talk to cabbies, order dinner... stuff like that. The Hongster is determined to whip my ass into much better speaking form by next year. So we'll see ")

[PeaceNikki]

9. Yeah but how many kidneys do you have now?

Hhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!?!

[HEyHEY]

11. To my knowledge.. two

Maybe three

[BeachBaby]

12. Is it true that cats taste like chicken?

Just curious. :P
