Ben Ross' Blog. Urban Sociology, Urbanism, and Migration in China and North America. Why has everything in China gotten more expensiveexcept for haircuts? At 11:56 am by Benjamin Ross. There is simply not enough business to be shared by the proliferation of salons, and so profits have been stretched too thin. Of course, there has always been competition in this industry, but the new variable which has come into place is. Rising costs: from both labor, and rising rents. At 2:54 pm by Benjamin Ross.

Ramblings of an expat Kiwi living in one small corner of Beijing. July 4th, 2014. Well, I’m kinda hoping for David Shambaugh’s sake that there’s a bit of misreporting going on here. Quotes being taken out of context, or something like that, because:. 8220;Google is down. Yahoo is own Bing is down. You can’t access the outside world.”. And that, dear friends, is. I have my gmail open in another tab, I just googled. David Shambaugh and opened the Wikipedia article on him. 8220;Australia is doing it, Asean ...

The China Bubble: 09/01/2009 - 10/01/2009
http://ednainchina.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 27, 2009. Ever see those old ads from the 1920s. Where some housewife whiles away her life doing menial tasks, with an apron on her hips and a smile on her face? That's exactly what I thought of when I saw this iron in the backroom of the tailor shop across from my grandmother's house. 21st century living, eh? Tuesday, September 22, 2009. Have you been with pig recently? I kid you not, that was a question on the entry form to get past Chinese customs.]. Photo of the Day. Know, I've actu...

The China Bubble: Rub Down
http://ednainchina.blogspot.com/2010/03/rub-down.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. A massage parlor somewhere; they're so common in China that I don't even know in which city it was that I took this. If ever there was a good impulse buy, this is it. They're not always the cleanest establishments, but the service is fabulous; even at 20 RMB ( $3) an hour you get some quality foot-rubs, often with a bit of head and shoulder massaging thrown in too. Actually, even writing about it makes my shoulders ache for one.only 11 more weeks til I go back! Photo of the Day.

Saturday, February 28, 2009. Photo of the Day: At Ease. My first time in Beijing! These guys passed by while we were on the way into the Forbidden City. May in China is already pretty warm, so I imagine they were roasting in those uniforms. They seemed at ease enough, though who knows with those looks of determination. Today's picture was actually picked by my good friend Leanna, who I met in Dalian and came with me on this trip. All she had to say on this was, "They're really skinny.". Photo of the Day.

Thursday, April 30, 2009. Sunset at Echo Cafe. Echo Cafe, Dalian. An adorable little bookstore and coffee shop two blocks away from Olympic Square, perfect for small meetings and photo exhibits. It was located under a highway ramp, so the roof was domed and always reminded me of a hobbit's den. (I obviously know nothing about hobbits because that is probably all very incorrect.).

The China Bubble: Inflatable Rainbows (or: cellllebrate good times!)
http://ednainchina.blogspot.com/2010/05/inflatable-rainbows-or-cellllebrate.html
Thursday, May 6, 2010. Inflatable Rainbows (or: cellllebrate good times! Sooo I was gone for a while. I was writing my senior honors thesis and it pretty much ate my soul. There was a rough patch there where I didn't even think I was going to finish it (nor did my professors, great motivation there), and therefore not graduate with honors. Yeah, April was a long, sleepless month. SoCelllllebrate good times, COME ON! Photo of the Day. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Enter your email address:.

The China Bubble: Where has Edna been, and where is Edna going?
http://ednainchina.blogspot.com/2010/06/where-has-edna-been-and-where-is-edna.html
Saturday, June 5, 2010. Where has Edna been, and where is Edna going? That's right, I graduated. The last month has been a weird mix of goodbyes and emotions and silly things like that as I left Etown (and soon, home) for good. I also hosted two visiting friends from Australia, who I'd met in Dalian and had come all the way to Central Pennsylvania to see me graduate/turn 21. First lesson of adulthood: hosting people is exhausting. Oh, and I turned 21! So anyway, the eternal graduation question: What now?
