Life in China (through pictures)
As an avid-China lover, I have to admit that sometimes I take criticism of China a little seriously ('up in arms' as one former super-American boyfriend would describe it.)
However, the good people over at Sinosplice have put up a pictorial on what to expect when coming to China that's simultaneously a bit offensive and yet hilarious. As the old saying goes...every survival kit should include a sense of humor.
There is much truth to the saying that once you become acclimated to China, you'll discover what this beautiful country has to offer. For those who haven't, well...no one's begging you to stay, right? Sinosplice hits the nail on the head with this:
There [are] more surprises waiting for you in China, so come on over! Before long you'll be familiar with the slew of inconveniences inherent to life here. Then you won't be annoyed -- rather, you'll accept them with a smile and [say] "that's China!"

Re: Life in China (through pictures)
I'd read this post awhile back and its a good reread. I love China but there's still somethings that are just "China". And yes, its not fun when I'm running to the toilet 7 times a day but thinking back it is rather humorous.

I was skeptical of CZ's warning and read the whole thing anyway. In fact, he was being generous.
Nothing really offensive or hilarious about it.

Re: Life in China (through pictures)
I didn't find that amusing.
I found it extremely dull, like something an American teenager who's lived in China for six months might write on their blog.
Please don't post anything like that again.
