"Mike" aka China Shark
Rhonald:
Which version are we talking about...original, 1.2, 2.0, new and improved, 3.3 turbo charged?
john1964:
I myself have had a few "run ins" with china FISH, Just a obnoxious , been there, done it all, have the t shirt to prove it, and know all about China, Lets leave sleeping dogs lie, John.
Jason B:
the only thing of value I ever got out of the idiot was he kept mentioning the OTHER site and so I queried this and here I am and have never used the other chat boards again. On my first trip to Shenzhen and as a newbie I was going to meet him for a coffee but after reading some of his help - read opinions - I decided not to bother. Probably a good thing as he would have met the MRS and would have said something to piss her off with his obnoxious views.
shaun:
With all of this talk about Mike I thought I would go over to the other site and look around a little. All I saw was the SOS. :o
Shark infected water. ;D
JohnB:
I think all you guys missed what he wrote.
Well, when I read Mike's post, it is that he is 50, has been in China a few years, and is not doing very well.
No woman.
Despite his best intentions, probably a good game plan by all means, very generous with his advice, both good & bad.
By all means, any Westerner can live in China for whatever length of time, but the fallacy of assimilation into another culture (China), if that is what one (CSM) desires, it is that their own foreign idiosyncrasies will corrupt their 'self- assumed' definition of just what is a Chinese person. The resulting factor is conflicted. You (the Westerner) cannot take what you think, box it, and put a label on it. Call it China.
If assimilation was not the goal, then how about a faulted observer status?
There are lessons to be learned, even for China Shark Mike. I think he will still tell you that.
