Priceless Information  

This is Ian's piece of web. See it go. Go, weblog, go! Go travel in Asia. Go study in Tokyo. Go home to Portland. Nah, what the hell. Go, study in Beijing.

Stop. I am a student studying Chinese language in Beijing.

I started this weblog in the Summer of 2002. It keeps following me wherever I go. But, I'm glad to have the company.

Thanks to Clifton for hosting Domodomo. If you need a flash or website designer, you can do no better.

Domo Music - Music I done made. Shockingly presented under the artist name of "Domo Domo."

The Stares of the Chinese Part I

I walked down a night market yesterday and played a game. How many people can I count staring at me? After I hit one-hudred in two blocks I stopped counting.

The stares of the Chinese can be logically organized into three groups: Non-Gender Specific, Men & Women.

Non-Gender Specific:
The 'sweet crap it's a white guy' stare.
The 'sweet crap it's a white guy I want to steal his wallet' stare.
The 'Oh no you didnt!' stare.
The 'This is an example of the dominating-superpower of the world?' stare.
The 'White boys gotta big nose' stare.
The 'Stare, Pretend to not stare, then stare again' stare.
The 'English practice but I'm too scared' stare.

Men:
The 'Is the sun in my eyes or am I really angry at the white guy?' stare.
The 'My urge to beat up this white guy is at conflict with my countries new-found role in the WTO and our potential in the global market' stare.

Women:
The 'sweet crap it's a white guy I bet he'll pay double for my prostiution services' stare.
The 'Im turned on by your greencard potential' stare.
The 'Stare, laugh, walk three feet away, look back again, giggle, walk three more feet, look back and get stared down by Ian' stare.

More to come later.
