One More Week
We've been hard at work on the Otrino project here in Dongguan, China for the last year. I can't recall the last time I worked so hard in my life on something for thirteen straight months. It's amazing to think that a mere year ago we were in the snow in Apsen brainstorming this concept on simple pen and paper while missing out on some of the ( Read more... ) -
Life Goals, Life's To-Do-List
Sometimes I feel like you lose sight of the big picture if you don't take a moment from time to time to re-prioritize what's important to you. I've tended to do this annually... not so coincidentally towards the end of the year. Despite the lack of a physical reminder that it's really the "holiday" season here in China, as our trip back home on ( Read more... ) -

Chinese girl lives in Shanghai on 1000 RMB a month ($128 USD)
This is translated from 2006 but we pay a guy in Dongguan 600 RMB and the average factory worker makes 1000 RMB a month. Office workers at entry levei are anywhere from 1500 - 3000 RMB... I'm pretty certain in the competitive job market a girl with a low level job like hers is not making over 1500 today. She's almost 30 now, wonder if her situation ( Read more... ) -
Post-China Pre-Plans
So I've had a lot of time to think about what exactly I'm going to do after China. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed how it all ended up, however I feel my health is at a point where I can't do the long hours, eat the poor diet, deal with the climate, and stress of being in China. I really have no extreme hard feelings to my friend Erik ( Read more... )
