Resently I was reading those celebrity foreigners' blog and other popular Chinese Second Language Blogs here http://littlechinaworld.com/
 It's always interesting to know their life in China and their thoughts about live in China.

I know who a couple of these people are.The first picture is Dashan.He is probably the most famous foreigner living in China.He has a show on TV.Where he teaches foreigners to speak advanced Chinese.You really have to know Chinese to try and follow one of this guys lesson.Also he does allot of Chinese TV hosting work.If they need a host who speaks English And Chinese this is the guy they will use The last I had heard he has spent about 20 years in china doing this kind of work.

He isn't very popular with the expat community in China.I don't know why.He is very popular with the Chinese people.

Andrew ballin is the black guy from the U.S. I have seen him on a couple of talk shows.I don't know what he was talking about.I didn't stick around long enough to really watch him.

The rest of these people I have no Idea.

Theres a famous Irish guy there? What crime did he commit ? 

A young Irish lad recently won a story telling contest there - China gets first seanchaí as Irish boy masters Mandarin
I don't know if he is a good drinker though so probably hasn't committed many crimes yet.

[Willy The Londoner]

Mark Rowsell - Never watch his Chinese Lessons.  He talks to fast and too long a sentence.  He has very good Chinese but he does not really want to share it with the newbies.  He just wants those with lots of money to buy his expensive courses.  Plus you have to have a brain more active than a 60 year old to understand anything at all!!!!

Now Julien and his comic partner are OK. What I like about Julien is that he refuses to use phrases on TV that the producers have given him just so the Chinese get a laugh at his expense or expense of foreigners.  He did a good interview on this recently.

The rest I have never seen in 16 months.  Celebrities in whose minds?
