A Letter From China is an infrequent, irreverent, and
irrelevant missive concerning whatever we care to write
about. They usually highlight the differences in thinking
and culture between East and West, as echoed by observation
of the local streets we walk upon in everyday life.
However, it is always the local people we meet, and
the crazy things that happen - that make these letters
so interesting

By Jonno:
Jonno is a British expat who has lived in Guangdong
for 8 years. He is married to a Cantonese girl
and they have one daughter. Many of Jonno's letters
show the differences in thinking between western
and oriental life, often summed up by the phrase
'Here is China!' |

Jim is an American Expat from Seattle, and he
met Jonno in a bar in Hong Kong several years
ago. Jim is an artist deeply into ceramics and
glass, but is currently teaching to provide a

By Dawn Edmonds:
Dave and Dawn Edmonds are very old friends of
ours. 5 years ago Dawn kindly wrote a very interesting
article for a sister website, which was published
under their Nepal section. We have added this
letter for general interest, and Dawn will write
more in the future. |

By Denis Pavett:
Denis Pavett is a British expat who moved to China
in 2010 with the intention of settling down with
his Chinese wife and their son. We all look forward
to reading of Denis' exploits in Chongqing, Urumqi,
and later Hangzhou next year - Welcome Denis!
