The war is over, and Japan lost. Actually, so did that Chiang fellow (buggered off to Taiwan).

Mao and his lot took over, and they all have been kinda doing their thing for a while.

Oh, and there was this leap forward thing. Didn't go over so well.

The best up-date you'll get, if you stroll over 77 pages of posts/Qs here.

How's Cali anyway? I hear, there's a shortage of (drinking) water in US.

J. Rogers from Singapore:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-05-17/jim-rogers-coming-water-wars

Jim Rogers: Water is one of the great opportunities of our times. If you look at the world there are some huge shortages developing in some parts but there is also a lot of water in other parts, just in the wrong place – like water in Siberia for instance, which is not where most people are.

There are going to be wars in the Middle East over oil east of the Red Sea, but west of that there will be wars over water since there are serious water problems in that region. We will also have problems in the western parts of the US with the depletion of a big aquifer, from what I read.

So we have a lot of water problems in a lot of places. California is making the news right now, but that is not the only place at risk. And if you can figure out ways to clean or transport or pump water you are going to do very well.

Eorthisio:

China is in deep deep shit over water, not only they have 8% of the world's water for 21% of the population, but of this 8% a good 70% is too polluted for drinking, and of this 70% a good 30% is even too polluted for being of any use.

China will likely sign massive deals with Russia for that water in Siberia. Russia has 3% of the world's population and 37% of the water, a goldmine for the Russian government, sadly I doubt the people will benefit from it.

Rogers was calling for trading/market investments in drinking water/processing as early as 2004, if I remember correct. Beside precious metals water resources were his call.

Chinese polluted water can became drinkable (same as it's US treated water) with prevention of overall environment pollution, filters and such. Chinese have (dirty) water for difference of other parts of the world, where there's drought.

Drinking water will soon (10-15Y) became dearly sought item, and Russians will probably profit on it, if world remains in peace.

The fashion is more ridiculous than ever, and they start to genuinely believe they look cool.

It's like a mix between Korean pop-stars and color blindness.

It started raining and the Boxer movement just vanished. John Dewey came over and no-one listened to him, preferring the Hunanese librarian from the farm who can't keep his voice down or his sausage to himself.

Q: thank you so much for your suggestion. B...

A: Can a new employer help you? Possibly but it's really hard to say for

A:Can a new employer help you? Possibly but it's really hard to say for sure. I used to be involved in hiring new teachers and a couple of times we had people we wanted to hire who were having trouble with their old school - situations similar to yours. Our school was legally able to hire foreign teachers, did everything by the book and was well connected, usually schools that mess people around with visa stuff aren't operating legally so a call from our visa guy to theirs telling them they were breaking the law, we were in the middle of processing the visa stuff with the PSB and the next phone call they got regarding this teacher was likely to be from the PSB asking some hard questions was usually enough to get them to co-operate. No school doing illegal stuff wants the PSB getting too interested in what they're doing. There's a chance a new employer could figure something out if they really want to hire you but these are difficult times, their hands might be tied too. -- Stiggs
