Hey! Our little blog made it into a mention on Shanghai Daily! Man of the year David Akast was interviewed by our favorite city newspaper about how he managed to identify an amnesia-stricken man in Seattle. For those of you who didn't read the story last week, The man, in his 50s, was dehydrated and wandering around Seattle's Discovery Park with no memory of who he was or how he got there. The Seattle Times story on him was posted onto our website, where Akast then read it. With a shock, he realized that he knew the man from a stint teaching in Xi'an. The rest of the details are in the Shanghai Daily article. Thanks for the shout out, David!

"He was a nice man and was really, really well educated," Akast said. "He had been in Paris and Vienna for 20 years and then came to China." from the article. Ha... I don't buy it.
