My Weekly China Links

Usually I post a bunch of links from various China related sites all over the net. But seeing as how Dezza (a good friend, and fellow Canadian) over at Mask of China is about to finish up a long and illustrious run as one of China’s best blogs, I thought I’d go down through some of his older posts, and pass some link-love his way. I had the pleasure of working with him when he was here in Dalian, and he’s a quality guy who just happens to also have a fucking quality website. While he likely wouldn’t admit it, there are few that can speak about China (or Hong Kong) with the same knowledge and authority that he can. Even before I knew what a blog was, Dezza was pumping out articles like these, hand over fist:

Dezza on Teaching

A Day in the Life of a Foreign Teacher
Face of a Foreign Teacher
How Foreign Teachers want to be Treated (according to some Chinese writer)

Dezza on Travel

Dezza goes to Taishan
Dezza goes to Xi’an

Dezza on Food

Dezza on Politics

Dezza on Business

So what’s Dezza gonna do now that the blog will be retired? Well, he’s developed some pretty kick-ass photography skills over the years, as you can see by checking out his flickr page. If you want to pay your respects to one of the best/original China Bloggers, drop Dezza a line here, or drop some comments on his flickr account.

China Stolen-Media-of-the-Day: Malcolm in the Middle

A friend of mine once compared this dysfuntional family to mine (I also have 3 brothers).

Here’s the first season of Malcolm in the Middle, for those of you who may not have seen it in a while. Pirated by youku/yoqoo.
