I’m a typical “barbarian” who came to China out of random curiosity and was never quite able to tear himself away since then. I always planned to move to South America after college and work as a journalist, but now, my ‘short term’ stay in this country shows no signs of ending… and the blog is merely a side effect of everything that has happened. Life is funny, as some of my friends say…
While I really prefer talking about China over a cup of good tea somewhere outdoors, I’d be happy to hear from you and exchange thoughts and arguments on the issues raised in this blog – so write to me, correct me, slander me, post comments - whichever 
A place as fascinating as China always deserves a solid discussion.
