About This Guy

I spent almost four years living and working in Shenzhen, China, and now live in Jersey City, which is surprisingly not much different. I had a blog for many years but decided to retire it. I have now started a new site: Booze, Food, Travel. I am also the creator, publisher, and editor of Terracotta Typewriter (www.tctype.com), the only literary journal with Chinese characteristics.

I currently teach ESL at a community college. I'm a freelance writer, editor, and proofreader who is always looking for more work. If you're in the NYC area, I'm usually willing to make time to meet new people for coffee or beer.

Matthew Lubin replied to Sasha's discussion 'Where were you during TBEX?' in the group I attended TBEX '10' in spirit!!!
I was across the river at home. I decided too late to attend and couldn't get a ticket. But I did get to meet one of the attendees. Besides, it was too hot this weekend to do all that walking around the city.

I attended TBEX '10' in spirit!!!

This is a group for those who couldn’t go to TBEX '10' because lets face it were having too much fun travelling, were too poor to get there scrimping and saving for a trip or just otherwise occupied with boring things such as work.

Matthew Lubin replied to Mary Richardson's discussion 'Ominous red ink' in the group Teaching English in Asia
Never heard about it on the board, but I know in China you shouldn't write in red (except for corrections on student work). I forget the reasoning, but I know it's really bad to write someone's name in red. I had a difficult time…

Matthew Lubin commented on Carrie Williams, Community Manager's group 'I Studied Abroad in College'
I studied abroad for a semester. My university said my grades weren't good enough to join their programs, so I joined a program through another college and the best semester of my college life.

Matthew Lubin replied to Karen van der Zee's discussion 'Where do Expats Go to Find a More Permanent Perch?' in the group Expat Bloggers
After spending almost 4 years in a huge city and then moving to a fairly large city that's only a couple miles away from another huge city, I've decided I could move anywhere that isn't a city. I need somewhere quiet that isn't…

Matthew Lubin replied to Greg Wesson's discussion 'Do You Join Groups of Other Expats from Your Home Country?' in the group Expat Bloggers
I hung out with a lot of expats from my home country mostly because of the language barrier. But I also made local friends and expat friends from other countries. I wasn't friends with them because they were from my home country or because they…

A lot of people think I'm still in Shenzhen...sometimes I do wish I was still in China (though a different city would be nice).

Shanna, I think you'll find the networking -- meeting other bloggers -- is pretty cool. And some of the seminars and info, too. I think if you go with limited expectations, you won't be disappointed.
