I agree with the importance of learning and experiencing everything unique and new about somewhere you live, absolutely — I think the article’s “local laowai” phrase and extremely high level not really that informative nature is what makes it deserve a little mockery 😀 I’m only cautious to make that statement because I’m *within the bubble*, so it could be the case that most people new to China don’t realize they shouldn’t take illegal taxis who aggressively tout, or that cash is preferred to credit cards…… or the toilets aren’t amazing automated bidets, or that Chinese people bargain, or there are some topics that aren’t politely discussed, or …. etc. You know – the unique things in China. 😀
