In Love & Hate of Chinese Supermarkets
Hey, so I’ve started a new Group Writing Project over at Lost Laowai called China: Love It Hate It.

The idea for the project comes out of showing that it’s ok to have divided feelings about China. You don’t have to be an extrapohater or an avid apologist – there is an alternative. You can just be. And so, if you list five things you hate, figure out five things you love – or vice versa.
For my part, I’m going to challenge myself to find the good in Chinese supermarkets and the products they contain, but first… the bad.
