So there is a new PSA making its rounds around chinese social media these days. It’s a PSA supporting the LGBT community and it’s well done. (Youtube video. If you in China, check out the youku version.) I’m really glad this is getting more talked about. Just like in the
How to Use a Squat Toilet–Hilarious Video
Here is a hilarious new video about how to use a squat toilet. (VPN alert–Youtube video.) As you can imagine, using a squat toilet is a frequent topic of conversation with foreigners in China. You can occasionally find a western toilet, in a fancy hotel of new movie theatre, but

Dancing Santa
Merry Christmas Everyone! And what holiday could be complete without some Chinese Santa’s busting a move? (A really, really awkward move that is.) Enjoy and have a great Christmas! Thanks to Sinosplice for bringing this video to my attention.
