Q: Living in China has made me a better person

I lived In South Korea for many years before coming here to teach E.F.L. Personally, The living in China experience and every negative that a person does experience encouraged me to look inside of myself and as ask important questions. I have begun to meditate daily and developed into a much calmer, happier person. Thank you China!

more than a year in China puts a lot of things in perspective.

It can reduce your life back to the barest necessities and throw up the important things and the BS.

Well, if you perceive China as being the answer to all of your needs, perhaps you should be looking inside yourself and asking important questions. crying

There probably are things on this planet that get improved by being rubbed with a turd. 

DrMonkey:

It's like super-heroes, they get their mutant powers with some really potent and dangerous stuffs. It would harm or kill most people, but they got lucky. China have to be the land of the super heroes any time soon

I'm glad you're happy here but this is a Q and A forum so it would be helpful to end your post by asking other people if China has made them better or worse people or something like that. You know... stimulate discussion and what not.

@Spiderboenz I wanted a pic with Palpatine on it, and a legend about letting the anger flow. I spent 10 sec. to find that, so I took the rough with the smooth.

I wasn't saying that China was the answer to all my problems or that China was better then what I had before. What I was saying was living in China has sent me on a Journey of self discovery. If I had never had the experience of living here, I'm not sure this would have happened. Thanks for the friendly Grandma pic

Well, dealing with bad behaviour on a daily basis does force you to increase your patience and tolerance levels. The one thing that Chinese parents recognize, which transcends cultural boundaries, is how patient I am with the kids in class. Stuff that would've gotten them a beating from dad just flows off me like water. The hard part is getting Parents and Chinese staff to do something when kids seriously misbehave, instead of stand their smiling. Once you've achieved that, teaching becomes a lot less hard.

I prefer China to South Korea...just saying.

DrMonkey:

It is something I hear often, people who worked in both countries says that China is less suffocating. What makes South Korea so suffocating ?!

rasklnik:

Depression. The Koreans are seriously depressed The men drink constantly, their was liquor (soju) in the fridge at my middle school there.. They have no way to enjoy life, the kids study like 18 hours a day (that's not a joke) suicide is all over the place, the women are either poor are addicted to plastic surgery, and prostitution is rampant. The chaebols control the government for the most part, and the working poor live lives of desperation. And the food isn't that great.

-Add in their love hate with America, and their centuries of xenophobia, and they make Chinese people look sincere and open-minded.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
