The first time I came to China I expected to stay here for 7 weeks. That was over ten years ago and i've been here most all the time since.
I came here for a 3 year contract and ends up in 8 th year now.
I came with the thought to have a glance at the world and only to be stuck here.
I was only supposed to come for a year, that was 5 years ago....
I usually just stay the length of time I want to, then move to another country.
I wanted to stay longer. You stayed longer than I expected and then came back.
I came here to stay one year and I've stayed only 6 months 
. Bye bye China 
I came for 3 months
I am now in my 10th month
At the moment i am due to leave in September, but if they want me to stay then i will.
I was supposed to stay for 3 years.
I was hoping to stay a lifetime.
I stayed 6 years.
I'm planning to go back there, eventually.
No, I stayed shorter than I expected.
On the other hand, I think that, after failing your immigration interview, you've stayed in China longer than you expected.
