China Does Dallas
A couple of quick links today, before I get my act together and put up another post.
How to write a China article. In a word - brilliant.
Ben’s Blog. Have you ever wondered what it’s like to work as a “little brother” for 24 cents an hour in a Chinese hair salon? I know I have (honest!), and this American guy has decided to make a 1 month experiment of doing just that. He’s nearing the end now, and his blog has proved to be quite a well written and insightful chronicle.

The China article template is hilarious, and so very true!

Unbelievable. That China template is solid gold! It’s funny because that template is so uncannily true of umpteen articles I’ve read about China in the New York Times mag or the Toronto dailies… except the template is way more clever than any of them! I mean, Micky Maos? Reminds me of Maos Tse-tung from Law class.

Couple of great links, still waiting for more word from you, though, my man. We miss you here, dude, it isn’t the same coming home without you.

Yeah, I had to share that China template one with all of you, it’s just too good. And the Maos Tse-Tung law class was the first thing that came to mind as well, although it made me feel slightly less original for coming up with it, especially given the context of the article. But oh well.
And Evan, it’s definitely not the same here without you either, if you know what I’m saying.
