Gareth is an Australian who has lived in JiangSu, SuZhou (Heaven on Earth) for a few years - he is a keen observer of the Chinese people, Chinese culture and the changes that are occurring in China at break-neck speed. He can often be found on his a nightly 'perch' in front of his bar in the famous Bar Street in Suzhou, talking to the locals in his bad Mandarin, teaching the 'flower-selling girls' English, eating street food and smiling at the local chengguan (neighbourhood police). Gareth also has several other businesses in China around Business and English training. His experiences have been varied and interesting and his years in China have taught him to be wary of promises but excited about prospects, not a bad situation to be in!

Why I love China!!!

If you've read any of my blogs you will notice I am a little 'negative' of China at times... it is probably an 'natural' thing because most people are conditioned to see the world though their own set of eyeglasses - 'rose-tinted' where you come from and maybe a little 'steamy and grimy' in other places!
