There's always that guy, usually American, who regales on how they lived in China or some where in Asia for some years. Blog posting as if it makes them an authority on anything really. I can't help but picture them thinking themselves as an 18th century frontier man who sailed across the oceans and walked across vast distances to journey to the Orient. And now he's returned to tell everyone the tales of the far away mysterious lands.

As if nobody else has ever got on a plane and traveled some where else in the world before. As if the internet isn't full of people from around the world who know much more than they do. I'm sure this way of talking captivates audiences in their rural America town where farthest anyone else has traveled is one town over, and so they'll readily believe the fantastical stories of a traveling caravan of Siamese twins, hirsute women, and other such attractions.
