Since I mentioned my friend in China...

My friend Casey taught in China for a few months in 2009, came back, and is now teaching in a different city there and loving it. He often writes on his friend Tom's excellent blog, Seeing Red in China. Casey's pieces can be accessed here. Between the two of them and a Chinese-American friend, the blog provides a really interesting, varied look at life in China, the teaching experience, the ex-pat experience, and more.
