		<title>Emergency Fundraiser BBQ for Xiao Hua</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And now news of a barbecue of a different, and much more solemn and purposeful nature - I received word late yesterday from several friends that there will be an emergency fundraising BBQ for their friend Xiao Hua, whom was the victim of a hit and run here in Suzhou on Sunday and is now [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canada Day BBQ in Suzhou</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, I&#8217;m a couple days late in posting it - but Happy Canada Day!
This year&#8217;s Canada Day marked the fourth I&#8217;ve been in China for, but the first I&#8217;ve celebrated - and what&#8217;s better, we did it properly with a BBQ and beer!
I had tossed around the idea of doing a Canada Day BBQ a [...]]]></description>

		<title>George Carlin expires &#8216;like a magazine subscription&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[George, you paved the way for some of my favourite socially and politically charged comedians. You showed me just how versatile a word can be. And, you gave substance to TheHumanaught.com&#8217;s #1 visited post.
&#8220;Older&#8221; sounds a little better than &#8220;old,&#8221; doesn&#8217;t it? Sounds like it might even last a little longer &#8230; I’m getting old. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mailbag: Suzhou, home for cheats and liars?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Being that this blog has been around for a while now, and that it consistently lists at the top of the search results for many things &#8220;Suzhou&#8221;, I tend to get my fair share of e-mails from readers or random passers-by.
Most of these are e-mails from folks moving to Suzhou, or China in general, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The True North Strong in Fee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For all the noise I&#8217;ve made about the recent visa situation here in China, or bureaucracy here in general, I tend to forget that this isn&#8217;t a China-exclusive thing.
Before I can get my visa renewed next month, I need first to renew my passport. No big deal really, a couple of photos, an application form [...]]]></description>

		<title>Boomtown Beijing showing in Suzhou - Tonight!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alright, in the truest of &#8220;better late than never&#8221; fashions, here&#8217;s a bit of an urgent announcement that my friend Tan Siok Siok&#8217;s film Boomtown Beijing is showing tonight at the Suzhou Bookworm.
I did a bit of an interview with Siok Siok a few weeks back over at Lost Laowai, and it&#8217;s a good read [...]]]></description>

		<title>A few changes around here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick note to reference a few changes I&#8217;ve made to the site.
First: you&#8217;ll notice that I&#8217;ve changed the comment submit layout. When I initially designed the look of this site, I was eager to try some new things, and so had the comment submission form stuck at the top of the comments.
This was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bill Moyers on Media Reform</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I first learned of Bill Moyers while I was in school for journalism back in Canada. A classmate of mine lent me the book version of his rather famous interview series with Joseph Campbell entitled &#8220;The Power of Myth&#8221;.
In the years since I&#8217;ve watched a handful of his numerous interviews and I have to say [...]]]></description>

		<title>Our Apartment in Suzhou SIP (video/photos)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned a couple weeks back, we&#8217;re moving to a new apartment at the end of the month.
As it is fully furnished (I&#8217;ve yet to rent an apartment here that isn&#8217;t - though some call into question the definition of &#8220;fully&#8221;), yesterday we had to head over to the new place and meet with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quality of Life vs. Standard of Living</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An e-mail to a friend this morning got me thinking about what it&#8217;s like to live in China.
By &#8220;live&#8221;, I don&#8217;t mean in the common temporary sense, as a short-term contract teacher or business person might, but rather as someone who has no firm plans on the if and when of their eventual departure.
Moreover, it [...]]]></description>
