Teaching Moments in Someone Else's Class that go a Long way.

Teaching for a coworker who was away today, wasn't really looking to get too into conversations, was looking to really just "sub" to the best of my ability. However, inquiring with a student about an article they were writing about a music group that was going to be in the city we live/work in, I was introduced to a student in the class, across from them with an extensive array of music in China that is around my taste and fine flavour (punk, metal, ska, etc.).

Needless to say, I have been spending the better part of my day getting as deeply rooted into each of their "named genres" as possible in hopes of finding a live event to attend at some point before leaving China, here is to hoping.

If you are interested here is a list of what I was given, and a link to the current "waiting" list on youtube I have them in before actually listening to them and categorizing them accordingly.

Omnipotent Youth Society
Miserable Faith
Chinese Football
The Samans
Nine Treasures
My Little Airport
IGU Band (couldn't find want I needed from this name I think)
Deea Joins (found nothing about this band)
The Shanghai Restoration Project
Sin 2B (Found absolutely nothing on this band)
Yu Yue Dui
x7x (avenged sevenfold???)
Silent Elegy
Penicillin (PanniXiLin)-not sure if I have the correct results on this one

Needless to say further, I'll be doing a sweep through reddit soon to scour whatever I can on some of these groups.

All the best,

Income Tax for Foriegners

To begin this, I'll sum up that if you are not necessarily interested in my own personal outlooks and views on things this is what you would like to see and get assitance with if you are an Expat in China who has no idea of how taxation works. http://www.china-briefing.com/news/2015/01/28/paying-foreign-employees-individual-income-tax.html For those of you who appreciate and looked forward to my "Feihua", here it is. I have been in China for four years now, just when I think I understand how things work-I'm wrong (or it changed). Regardless of what it is when you read this, it is this for the time being. Realistically it is not as bad as one may think it to be when comparing the tax process from here to other places such as in the Middle East. Again, the view is from an outsider of that culture and expat community, however it still seems to be a relatively  conversed and ranging topic of positives and negatives. The tax system in China has its benefits as wel...

大黑山 Big Black Mountain Hike (2014)

Smoggy day :( could be better but I have been trying to do this for far to long and I currently have the opportunity to do so. Seizing the day. Origin point jinshitan, qinggui to kaifaqu. Stopped in kaifaqu, heading to tong shi tai, it is the first stop of the smaller line that stems from kaifaqu station. When getting off the train in kaifaqu, walk to the railway to your right that has the next station sign pointing in the direction your train came from. Get on train. Get off the train and head down stairs, exit off the same way you entered the train. Once you punch out of the station, exit the right side of the building onto dongbei road, a short distance to your left you will see a curve I to the next street which is______ road, go down that road _____ a short distance ahead you will see a hard to notice bus stop, jump onto bus 4, take it till they kick you off. After you get kicked off you will be confused and around what looks to be a street market. Lots of places to get food and w...

Five countries, Four Weeks Pt.6 "Koh Phi Phi-Bangkok"

Koh Phi Phi was indeed a beautiful island, right from the moment we stepped off  the boat  till the second we got back on to leave. Again, everyone seems to be asking for a dollar here, a dollar there. It becomes regular yet annoying. The island itself is very small but so incredibly easy to get lost on. Every back alley takes you to the same main bays but how far down the bays you are is the tricky part of figuring out your location. We stayed at a shady looking guesthouse called “Oasis Guesthouse” which was not too expensive but certainly didn’t seem all that secure considering the windows were just glass panes and there seemed to be a gecko or two which were always running around. Kyle and I roomed together while Jesse and Krista were sharing a room. I mostly remember from the time spent in that room, Kyle telling me again and again “rather have geckos than anything else…” I looked at him as if he was getting ill. He continued to explain that geckos are two things, faster ...
