The 2008 Olympic Games begin today, and Danwei has spruced itself up a little, like everything else in our beloved city of Beijing. Here are some of the new and updated features on the site: China Media Timeline Danwei.TV Olympic Model Workers English division Olympic Model Workers Chinese division China Media Guide In addition to above, we have also spruced up the home page: the right column now includes links to: • Media, advertising and communications jobs in China Finally, an old but little known feature: Danwei Side, a website that collects all the links and comments displayed on Danwei's grey top bar, links to news stories and blog posts about China. |

Comments on Olympic Danwei
I like the redesign. Looks good.
good to have you, danwei
Hi Jeremy
Just read the profile article about you in Southern Weekend. Was profoundly moved when I read the passage where you say you're ashamed about your "lack of accomplishments". I think you judge yourself too harshly, Jeremy. I've been following Danwei for some three years - and its become part of my ritual of starting up my day. I'd say that if the only thing I ever achieved in life was to start up Danwei and make it what it is, I'd be pretty proud of myself. I doff my (hard) hat in salute, old boy!
"crooked nose" though, what was that all about?
Agreed. Very entertaining website. I didn't even notice you guys changed the design. Keep up the good work? But I'sure you don't need me telling you that :).
