LaoWai Foreigners and Chinese celebrate the Springfestival together
Well it sure as Hell Beats guailo
Black pride, gay pride... now we have Lao Wai pride. A February issue of Beijing Today led a Spring Festival special front cover with the headline "Student Group Sends defiant Lao Wai Pride Message to the City." The team of 32 proud foreigners led by German student Gido Rossler are hoping to neutralize the term `lao wai`which some foreigners find offensive , and strengthen cultural exchange. The picturebanner, erected by Rossler et al over Chinese New Year, is inscribed with characters meaning" Lao Wai and Beijing celebrating Spring Festival together."
