... a Canadian-American couple with M.A.s in Intercultural Studies trying to live into and love - and some days just survive - China.

The mini-victories, potholes, questions, misperceptions, complaints, amateur documentaries, and people from our daily stumblings through the intercultural terrain all make regular appearances here, along with the occasional cultural analysis geekfest piece betraying the fact that we probably spent way too long in grad school.

New blog on Chinese SEO and Internet Marketing by a HK-based SEO Specialist preparing a move to Shanghai

This Wednesday, a representative from the Chinese embassy came to talk to the students of the Hebrew University about Chinese studies in China.
