snarkyguyI love Star Wars. Who doesn't? This week the new Star Wars movie, Star Wars IX. The Rise of Skywalker, hit the cinema in China. Naturally I just had to go see it, but movies are different in a Chinese theater. Let's see how?
Bio: I've been living in Shanghai for the last two years, but by no means am I a stranger to China. Before that I was living in Southern China in Dongguan, "the Dirty D", for about 4 years. Prior to that I literally grew up in Hong Kong, moved there when I was a kid in 1991, and have been traveling around China ever since.
China can be a bit of a mystery, inside an enigma, playing by it's own set of clichéd rules, and often served with a side of fries while some creepy dude is rubbing your belly and commenting on how fat you are. It frequently makes no sense!

Occasionally I even know what I'm talking about. It's cool. I am genetically dispossessed with this sense of humor...ask my Dad.
I've been living in Shanghai for the four two years, but by no means am I a stranger to China. Before that I was living in Southern China in Dongguan, "the Dirty D", for about 4 years. Prior to that I literally grew up in Hong Kong, moved there when I was a kid in 1991, and have been traveling around China ever since. I’d call myself a local, but my HongKonger wife would probably disagree.
China can be a bit of a mystery, inside an enigma, playing by it's own set of clichéd rules, and often served with a side of fries while some creepy dude is rubbing your belly and commenting on how fat you are. Just roll with it, it happens (and frequently makes no sense)!
…and yet it does! I do enjoy the challenge of trying to make sense of it all.

Occasionally I even know what I'm talking about. It's cool. I am genetically dispossessed with this sense of humor...ask my Dad.
I've been living in Shanghai for the four two years, but by no means am I a stranger to China. Before that I was living in Southern China in Dongguan, "the Dirty D", for about 4 years. Prior to that I literally grew up in Hong Kong, moved there when I was a kid in 1991, and have been traveling around China ever since. I’d call myself a local, but my HongKonger wife would probably disagree.
China can be a bit of a mystery, inside an enigma, playing by it's own set of clichéd rules, and often served with a side of fries while some creepy dude is rubbing your belly and commenting on how fat you are. Just roll with it, it happens (and frequently makes no sense)!
…and yet it does! I do enjoy the challenge of trying to make sense of it all.
