A Kiwi teaching English to oil workers in Beijing, studying Chinese in my spare time, married to a beautiful Beijing lass, consuming vast quantities of green tea (usually Xihu Longjing/西湖龙井, if that means anything to you), eating good food (except for when I cook), missing good Kiwi ale, breathing smog, generally living as best I can outside Godzone and having a good time of it.

  1. Not a bad piece, just need more buzzwords.

    The last paragraph reminded me of one mall in Tianjin, Hisense Plaza, which only seems to attract a few dozen ultra-rich Tianjiners at any given time.

    One point, though: the guts of Windows are in English because it wouldn’t make sense to change the basic software code into another language. This would, among other things, foul-up the upgrade process and make writing software even more difficult than before. In fact, as far as I know, other than Chinese notes and messages appearing in the code, English is the basic language in most Chinese computer programs also.
