13 Top 10 Places to See in New York City

"I got ripped off at JFK Airport."

Back in 2006, I was picked up at the JFK Airport by a car service only to find myself ripped off.. I was charged $175 just to go from JFK Airport to Manhattan in a regular black sedan. When I questioned the amount, the driver said that we were stuck in traffic and he had to charge extra.

With the guys from http://www.AirportMechanics.com they have always charge me the same price that I was quoted, traffic or no traffic. The drivers are courteous and on time. Best of all, I have not found a cheaper price yet.

11 Shanghainese Girl Marrying Foreigners

Hey Carsten,

the average chinese limited knowledge of the world has got nothing to do with how often they travel or where they have been to...some of my chinese classmates from China still think and behave like the chinese in china despite being in Australia for 5 years!!! Eg. becoming defensive when foreingers speak about china... being hostile to Falonggong practioners claiming these are people who have tarnished the reputation of china (CCP= China, China = chinese culture, race, language etc.)... love to use "guang xi" and believe that "we are chinese, we must be united" sort of thing

I can't handle their way of thinking... yes..they hate other asians esp japanese...

10 Shanghainese Girl Marrying Foreigners

"Is Taiwan a country?

-YES. It is a country in its own right by any other definition that isn't chinese (I mean China-ish)"
Taiwan is de facto a country, but not de jure. For starters, the United States does not recognise Taiwan as a country - it agrees with "the Chinese position that there is only one China and that Taiwan is part of China".


Hi Ben,

I do agree that Taiwan is regarded as a de facto country but bear in mind that USA is not the world and whatever USA feels belongs solely to the opinion of USA.

Also, before George Bush became the President of USA, Clinton does regard Taiwan as a country subtlely... and till today USA is still selling weapons to Taiwan and does subtlely agree that Taiwan is a country though not politically... and if you were to ask most people on the street, guess what they will say about China and Taiwan?

The reason why Bsuh does not want to public support Taiwan is because it does not want to anger Chian further coz it needs China's help in peacing N. Korea out..

9 Everyone is Talking about Stock

Everyone talks stock except human being nowadays. Just joke.

I think it's natural to talk about stock. We live, we need money. Several years ago, the book Poor Dad,Rich Dad is popular, it talks about money makes money. It's a good habit that you invest with your extra money.

Don't just think like elite. Don't blame others. At least, not everyone can pay money for Starbucks everyday. If you only spent 2000RMB a month and still thought in this way, it's good. Otherwise, shut up!

I think some elite are very strange in China. Got salary from global company, blame others. Have you really done something for this country?

4 Where is my Sense of Safty Today?

No true freedom in China. Not easy to be yourself. Deep inside you, there is fear implanted somehow. Right?

THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping me not get robbed! I am telling everyone I know about your sight.
