It seems a bit weird to me now, but I remember when I was first planning to travel abroad I was looking up absolutely every bit of information I could use to know at least a little of what to expect and average price charts were pretty useful. Thanks for the advice, and any additional feedback is warmly welcomed. BTW: Checked out your site. Looks good. Remember if you post a good story - submit it to the <a href="http://www.lostlaowai.com/commentary/hhr" target="_new" rel="nofollow">Hao Hao Report</a>. :-) Yeah, I do have the day to day living stuff… and have plans of incorporating an “average costs” chart.

I just wanted to say that I think your Lost Laowai site looks like it will be extremely helpful to new arrivals once you add more content on there. In addition to the teaching advice, I suggest adding a couple of sections about daily life. It seems that people moving to a foreign country always want to know: 1) What should I pack? 2)Can I get X (product) in X (province)? 3. How much does X (common expense such as groceries, rent, etc.) cost? 4. How much can I save per month? I'm sure you know the drill.... Hi, I came across your blog through the China Bloggers list.

If you did all three steps, I just don't know. I've submitted a bunch of sites and they've all worked. If you've got a minute, try it again. And as for the jingle... sweet! Should we ever come out with a commercial, expect a call ;-).
