So you kinda liked the spitting and staring stories and came back for more? Great idea! Here’s the second and final part of my mini-series about culture shock in China! Before reading on, make sure you’ve read part 1: the […]

As I write this article, I am in shock… I am sad… And most of all, I am ashamed. I just read an article about how a baby dolphin died on a beach in Argentina, because a bunch of tourists […]
