In China You Don’t Get Something for Nothing
Posted by w_thames_the_d on August 6, 2011
I’ve been busy, some partners and I met with some local ‘experts’, however you define this word in China. The project was one in which the gathering and disseminating of information would be spread across multiple platforms and personnel, meaning we would all find info and share it.
The idea was to talk to as many people as possible, collate ideas and then do a ‘best practices’ sharing. Sounds cool right? But this is China.
So we went to various other experts who for the most part were a tad above ignorant and I grew numb. Then we came to one more example of China’s finest who was rude and not forthright, actually he barely spoke. I figured it to be par for the course, the China cost and all.
But my colleague was like no, this guys different he knows something.
Then a few minutes of garble china talk later, my colleague tells me if we give the ‘expert’ a little something, he will be more forthcoming. I told him to kiss off and lets go. my friend said don’t be so hasty and then shoving his hand into the company kit bag, withdrew a mouse pad.
I was like….wtf
He smiled at me
the ‘expert’ across from us snatched it up as if it were a white woman and then began on a laborious but informative expalation of what we needed to know.
My friend said that this is how we must do things in China, sometimes.
I was like, wtf
This guy opens up just because we gave him a three dollar gift?

Environmental Crisis in China- Drought Decimates the Land
Posted by w_thames_the_d on August 6, 2011
4 million hectares of arable land in China will produce nothing due to the horrible droughts here. One could say that the Chinese have not learned from the past and continue to abuse their land. But maybe thats too harsh or cruel. As for me I just say its all about just deserves…. love the land and she will love you in return…

Speaking Chinese 101
Posted by w_thames_the_d on August 6, 2011
Learning Chinese can be a daunting task. They have four tones which can affect the meaning of a word. For instance, ma can mean horse or mom or many other things, it all depends on the tone.
So I have decided to give you a hand , but not with tones, that was just a little somethign extra. i will teach you guerilla Chinese so you can survive when you come here.
Ni hao ma—- sounds like knee how ma

supposedly means foreign friend— really means, dumbe ass sucker, i have screwed him before
