Spent the last few days catching up on my China reading and
viewing, mostly those articles and videos friends, clients and
readers wrote me insisting I read. One of the sites I checked out
— at the recommendation of many people — is LaoWhy86 on
YouTube. I'm hooked LaoWhy86 is an American who initially went
to China to teach English and then stayed on to start a business
and to marry a Chinese woman. He even bought a house, but, like so
many expats who have fled China in the last 3-8 years, he
eventually came to hate the place. Unlike so many of these expats,
he is cashing in on his time in China and knowledge of China with a
YouTube channel that often (and understandably) gets more than a
million hits per video.
