China continues to be weird on a daily basis, but I think everywhere else does, too. People are weird, no matter where they're from.

That was a good interview. Where did he get that picture, though? Was it a 婚紗照 photo?

Great interview fellas.

light487- I've been here roughly half the amount of time John has, but after 4+ years I have a "China is weird" moment almost daily. I bet John and other long-termers do too.

May be you could do some more of those “china is weird” posts again, except now you could do ones that are still weird even after living there for 8+ years. Or may be ones about what isn’t so weird anymore, now that you understand the culture behind it.

I really enjoyed the Snack Food ones you did, would love to see more of that as well.

Nice post, I’ve been mainly focused on the recent Sinosplice posts, and didn’t know the personal history behind the blog.

我印象深刻的： 1 “Once upon a time I used to write a lot of “China is so weird” posts …… Then for a while I would write more tolerant posts,。” 2“I’m kind of a shy guy in some ways…… ” haha 3“having a Chinese spouse ” “makes things both easier and harder”
