A few thoughts after reading the article:

(1) The writing style isn't impressive given the author claiming to be a native English speaker and a teacher. A bit wordy and incoherent.

Example: I was in China from February 2007 until June 2010 I lived in 3 cities while I was there, 2 years in Harbin (where they have the Ice Festival, and a wicked beer garden in Summer), 1 year in Shenyang (awesome city where I started my first business) and 1 year in Changchun (where I started my second business, and met my amazing wife).

(2) Pretty obvious advertising on Ninjodo, and I feel this is the main theme of the article instead of 'sharing of lessons learned'
