My Second Home in Taiwan – 國界間睡前故事

https://bedtimestoriesbetweenborders.wordpress.com/2014/09/09/my-second-home-in-taiwan-2

The girl behind the blog 部落格的女主角. A day in Zhouzhuang. My story in Shanghai. My Hong Kong song. Our Tour in Nanjing. My Second Home in Taiwan. September 9, 2014. September 13, 2014. I ordered my first bento box on the train on my way to Taitung. I got the chicken! Japanese tourists (especially the older generation) would get on the train simply for this traditional bento box to go down on memory lane, so to speak. I’m also learning Chinese culture through my mother-in-law. Now I’m craving tofu. My mother...

Question to Eurasians: Do you plan to pass on your ‘Asian’ culture to your children? – An International Hausfrau

https://internationalhuusfrau.wordpress.com/2017/01/03/question-to-eurasians-do-you-plan-to-pass-on-your-asian-culture-to-your-children

A way of staying in touch. The terms ‘hapa’, ‘Eurasian’, and ‘quapa’. Question to Eurasians: Do you plan to pass on your ‘Asian’ culture to your children? Be it the language, eating habits, just a general connection to the culture? Does it even really matter though? It’s tricky drawing the line between authenticity and ‘acting’. Do you try to pass down an Asian ‘mother tongue’ that isn’t your actual ‘mother tongue’? I’ve heard different viewpoints from different bicultural/biracial families. P. Neverthel...

http://chinaelevatorstories.com/wheres-soviet-companion

8220;Where’s your Soviet companion? March 9, 2015. It’s January, 2015. I go to a bathhouse. When the employee opens my locker, she asks:. Where’s your companion today? Who do you mean? No The tall woman who came to the bathhouse yesterday. The Soviet. Umm, I don’t know that woman. Actually, I don’t know any other foreigners here. The employee stares at me, incredulously. Interestingly, many people in Siping still refer to Russians (I assume that’s what she meant) as Soviets . Follow me on Facebook. There...

When You Get Sick in a Foreign Country | I Thought You Were Chinese

https://ithoughtyouwerechinese.wordpress.com/2014/08/17/when-you-get-sick-in-a-foreign-country

I Thought You Were Chinese. When You Get Sick in a Foreign Country. August 17, 2014. August 23, 2014. Nobody really likes getting sick. You lose your physical energy, your motivation to do anything, and it’s just downright uncomfortable. But what’s even worse is when you get sick while you’re away from your home country. Photo courtesy of Kalexanderson. But it can also be said of the peace of mind. That comes with our access to Western medical care. There was one time in China when I wasn’t feeling...

012 It’s Only US$4.50, Please Just Take My Money – The Sound of Wings

https://thesoundofwings.wordpress.com/2016/03/27/012-its-only-us4-50-please-just-take-my-money

The Sound of Wings. 012 It’s Only US$4.50, Please Just Take My Money. March 27, 2016. March 27, 2016. Everything in China is complicated. Even simple things. For instance, for the entire first half of March, internet access was… variable. You see, China’s two big important political bodies, the National People’s Congress. And the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. Take my money, Electric Company! Keep giving me more electricity! I wanted to tell them. Pay it off at my own bank branch.

Applying Evidence to Make Life Easier. Your Personal Inflation Rate May Vary. January 23, 2017. Here’s the accompanying graph:. As you can see, inflation rates on goods are generally low. To avoid being hit by high inflation, we should seek to limit our spending in the categories of energy, housing, medical care, and transportation (closely linked to energy). My book on wealth has many tips on how to save in each of these areas. Some highlights include:. Consider biking or walking to work. Think about it...
