For a while I was posting in two places — but it never made sense to split "Joe the coach" from "Joe who actually lives this." So I brought it all here.

The Middle Kingdom Code is everything I've learned from 7 years living and working in Tianjin, an MBA, a TESOL certification, and way too many mistakes made (and fixed) along the way — visas, contracts, WeChat, housing, the stuff nobody tells you until you're already standing in the wrong line at the wrong office.
