Dear Women of China,
I＇m a Hindu and, as part of my religion, I＇m a vegetarian. I want to study abroad in China next fall, but nay family and trouble finding vegetarian food to eat while I＇m in China. Are they telling me the truth or are they just exaggcrating？     

Abso ute ... Flexibility

There can be comfort in having other people make decisions for us, even life altering ones. When we are unsure or afraid, it is not uncommon to turn to others-experts-to help us decide whatto do, wha! path to take. Perhaps we don＇t trust our own instincts or maybe we really don＇t know what to do in a specific situation. Rather than rely on our own self-knowledge, we seek outside advice. We want to defer the decision making to others, get an ironclad, black or white answer to questions that sometimes reside in a shade of gray. One time when I was at a dermatologist＇s office, she told me There are three things I want you to do： take an aspirin every day, use suntan lotion every time you go outside in the sun and wear a baseball hat if you are in the sun for a prolonged period of time.

Dear Women of China,
I＇m interested in your magazine, but there＇s no way for me to get copies of it where I live. I see that your website has an electronic version of the magazine, but it＇s only one issue, it＇s a few months old, it＇s difficult to read （because you have to wait for the pages to enlarge）, and you have to click on the pages to flip them back to the table of contents or reload the whole page. It＇s extremely aggravating and not at all easy for readers to use.

When I visited Beijing, I was surprised to see a bus numbered ＂666＂ driving throughout the city. I found it very unnerving; ＂666＂ is usually the sign for the devil. I never thought I＇d see it out in broad daylight, much less on a bus! I＇m sure that the Chinese don＇t see it that way; otherwise, they would have never let that number show up anywhere.

It＇s been a since I took hometown, tram drivers couple of years the bus in my Helsinki.

In an effort to prod my students out of a momentary siege of lethargy or inertia, I tell them what my father told me over a half century ago, ＂You are never standingstill. You are either moving forward or going backwards.＂ But is this in fact really true or just a glib saying to motivate a child or student, to hit the reset button during a moment of mental, emotional or physical inactivity＇？     

职业女性在中国：谈职业指导（一）

Mentorship is crucial to career growth; in addition to benefiting both those who mentor and those who are mentored （mentees）, mentorship helps organizations retain talent, maintain employee engagement and improve business acumen. Given the importance of this topic, I＇d like to use my next few columns to share some critical information. In this edition, I will focus on being a mentee, and how one can best take advantage of mentorship opportunities to foster his/her growth and development.

Dear Women of China I was glad to see your March issue focus on International Women＇s Day. It＇s an important event and I hope it will last 100 years more. As a man who supports women＇s rights and the chance at equal opportunities for all, I think the first step toward a gender-equal society is caring about the hardships women face. It＇s sad when I sometimes see friends of mine know about these issues, but are more interested in checking out sports. I hope International Women＇s Day continues to remind us, and urge us, to care about the female half of the human population.

Dear Women of China,
I really enjoyed your article on how to be a happy, single Chinese woman on Valentine＇s Day. I＇m not Chinese, but I still found the message in your article both encouraging and meaningful. It＇s great that you focused on emotional as well as physical health, and that you reminded people that being single on Valentine＇s Day can still be lots of fun.

Dear Women of China, I saw a post on your Weibo account, in which you reported that foreigners who intend to work as teachers in China may face a higher threshold, as employers nationwide will require teachers to have previous teaching experience. I worked as a trainer and head teacher. I wouldn＇t mind if new teachers did not have experience as long they were willing to learn, and as long as they loved the trade. I would never consider the race or place of origin, but only the teaching quality and proper language skills, of a potential teacher.
