Given all the frustrations and annoyances of life here, will returning home and dealing with issues there now be a breeze?
No, it seems the crime back home is at an all time high. It spiked up in the last couple of years because of joblessness and also gang related activities. Add that to the ability to buy a weapon and I'd have to say no.
With the exceptions of being unable to eat out for every meal and being unable to talk to any girl I want, life will be much easier back in the US.
Are you kidding, I came here because it was such a breeze. After living here, working fifteen hours a week and getting richly paid for it, being pampered and having everything done for me, the only way i'm going to manage back in England is if i'm living in a care-home.
Well, I don't think I am ready to handle Mexico or South Africa, for example. I have lived in the UK and the US. I find the UK depressing. The US? I lived in Detroit, out of all places...We'd go out to a bar and hear that someone got shot the night before in the bar across the street. I don't care how much money I have but I don't wanna live in a country that allows you to buy a gun on the effing internet! People are worried about raising their kids here but what about their classmates coming to school and killing everyone or is that just a weekly thing now? Ah yeh...it just happens to 'other' people.

I was born and raised in Detroit. It's much more dangerous and challenging place to live than China. China beats Detroit on the weirdness scale, but It will never prepare you for the streets of the Motor City. I've been to parts of Mexico that scared the crap out of me. Some places in Poland are just as strange as China sometimes.
I traveled a lot and seen a lot - it will make it a bit easier but not too much ))
actually it is the opposite. ccp fosters ignorance . i know why people are ignorant here. they essentially dont have a choice. they are denied a real education, they are denied access to information. they are made to feel as if they are in hyper competition with each other so they behave like base animals.
in america, we have no excuse. we basically live in a library but we choose to count the ceiling tiles. i am less tolerant of ignorance in my home country because we have a choice.
Not at all. Any place it's a challenge. As long as you believe you are now strong enough to handle everything, whether you have lived or not in China, you better think twice. As a matter of fact, when you start to believe you are strong enough, then you start to show how weak you are. It's pride that goes before the fall or better said: " Pride precedes a disaster, and an arrogant attitude precedes a fall"
