Q: Do people in your home country think you are losers?
Following on from my last question, what do your friends and family in your home country think about you coming to China?
This question of course assumes that all your friends and family are in your home country. Just as Chinese would assume.
What do you think? Proud or ashamed?
Some were surprisingly jealous of me going to China. I rather liked that aspect. I was doing something they never thought of doing, never had the imagination or balls. And they knew it. Spent their whole lives in the same place. Maybe going to Spain twice a year in some tourist resort. Unlike Chinese they have access to the world and never use it.
Yep a lot of people judged me to be a loser because I went to China and will go again soon. They weren't wrong really. I was one of those escaping from a dead end life. So what, it worked. Got some options, a beautiful Chinese gf, interesting life, a hunger to do better and get more. For me China worked so screw them.

i saw many western european countries, but never Spain. it always struck meas a mundane holiday destination. Spaniards i met are nice, though.

Back in the '80s my sister and I got up and walked out of a bullfight in Madrid. strange, sick, bloody 'sport'.
I think people that are working are not losers. Peoples hear that don't want to work and live off mommy and daddy's money and/or older sister or brother's money are the real losers .
Indifferent. I remember a guy back home called me a loser before cause i didnt spend all my money on beer and drugs, he still lives with his mother, last i heard.
My mother would be proud, but i think shes just happy i didnt end up a drug addict or worse.
