News Sites in English for Folks in Dalian, LN China (PRC)

Here are a couple news sites (internet based-rather than the wechat based Chinawire; HiDalian; Dalianlaowei; and Jobtube Daily). These are some alright and low quality looking sites, but provide news on what roughly happening in a timely manner.

Expat access to local news is limited unless you understand spoken Chinese fluently and/or read fluent chinese.

Here are the sites, worth reaching out to for expats who are interested in how the news is formed or where the opportunities are to be apart of the news development in these organizations.

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...

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 ...

South Korea Pt.4 "Mokpo"

  After a great three days on Jeju-Do, we were ready for Mokpo. When arranging the transportation and itinerary for this trip, we knew that holiday time meant tickets and modes of transportation were crippled with over bookings and what not so we also decided to book ahead. When booking we did not anticipate the possibility of missing the Hallasan Hike, so we needed to rebook in the next 24 hours. Aferry.com is currently the only English speaking booking agency for foreigners. They are also located in England with no after hour service. All interactions with Aferry.com were extremely late Skype calls or delayed emails.    However easy and simple the site is to manage through it is not very equipped for travelers going to countries where language barriers exist. We needed to exchange our tickets (within our right as customers) but the company told us to go check if we can simply do it ourselves at the ferry port. The management office didn’t speak English and was not clea...
