That sucks so much. I am very sorry.

Upside? Being back in the Jerz for a little may be nice, no?

As Flotsam says, that sucks! Any chance you’ll return to China in the future?

Thanks, all. I know that in 6 months or so, I’ll be settled somewhere else saying “Isn’t this awesome? Good thing China threw us out!” but right now it sucks. I’m still wrapping my head around Stick being gone and having no idea where and when I’ll see him next, or what we’ll be doing next. We’re thinking about teaching elsewhere in Asia, but this is so sudden I don’t have any real plans.

Jay and Allison — Stick has left for his dad’s place in Raleigh, and I’m planning on flying to NJ to see my family. With any luck, though, we’ll be in MA for a visit, I know Stick wants to see his mom and I want to see the crew at MeatFest.

Thanatos — I’m with Nick on this one. Go Kiwi!

Flotsam and Gabby — I have no idea what’s meant to be accomplished. Let’s invite the world to the Olympics… but not people who live and work in China! Maybe foreigners are the off-notes in the harmonious society?

I’m really sorry to hear of this - it makes you puke {UK vernacular], it sucks [US vernacular.

These pages [and those of other china bloggers] are going to be very quiet in the coming months.

I just wonder what the real reason behind it is.

@Thanatos: Sounds like a blessing to me. NZ rocks.

@Meg: That sucks. This new policy seems to be hurting a lot of good laowai.
