Mind Sprocket gives voice to simple and honest perspectives. We publish thoughts and experiences on our world. We tell stories.

Everything – every banister, every public bench, every bus and even the flags and Buddhas in the monasteries – has a layer of grime upon it. I had thought Beijing was a dirty place. But for me Hohhot set a new standard. Even frozen, the river that wanders through its heart seemed untouchable to me.
It’s usually not the whole story you’re getting, when you read what I write. I don’t want to tell you everything. Because sometimes I want to close up, turn my back, curl up under a blanket, and share absolutely nothing with anybody.
