There are a lot of things I haven't written about over the last two months or so. I've had an eventful time here in southern China--some of it good, some not so much.

What have I missed? Where have I been?

It seems I'm having more difficulty studying Chinese these days. I was doing great during last term and through the summer. But it's not so good anymore.
I used to go down to my favorite restaurant, . . .

There's a serious dilemma going on here in Shenzhen. It's caused by the crude driving abilities of the city's population. I've been an unfortunate witness to the problems of Chinese motion . . .

Last night I walked into Lao Chongqing, just as I have been almost everyday for the last month, for a few beers. As has become habit, I brought along one of my Chinese textbooks to study. In the last three . . .

Quite a bit has happened since the last time I checked in here at the Orange Bubble. Due to the blocking of this site by the Chinese government, I had a lot more free time to explore other endevours--the . . .

I hate cleaning. My desk has always been and will always be a mess of papers and books. The key is I can find everything I need. I only clean when it gets difficult to find things--I refuse to allow anyone . . .

I have to rant a little. This has happened too much in the past week. I write an article and it disappears. It happened to my story about Huanglong...twice. Now it's happened again with a humorous . . .

Well, maybe I'm not lost. In fact, I've been fortunate enough to not be lost in my seven months here in China. I have had Chinese friends to help me along most of the time. The rest is just dumb . . .

I have been living and working in southern China since the end of October 2005 and plan to continue here for at least another year. As a writer this experience is wonderful and difficult all at once. It . . .
