Q: Right! So who's gonna stay?
I reckon for the near future I'll try staying in Beijing. Difficult decision - lots of factors involved. Who else is weighing up this stuff? Particularly among the old-China-hands club.
Haha, nope. Vietnam, here I come!
happywanderer:
Oh the jealousy! The outrage! I bet they even have something better than baijiu 
DrMonkey:
They have Vodka Hanoi, which is worse. But Vietnamese coffee is awesome.
I fancy smaller cities in China, so I would never step in the long-term-Bj.
Before I sign Contract, I always use

so, again 'not for me', or did you mean 'expat residents of Bj'?
happywanderer:
Hey, all expats welcome. And that's a good link! No wonder I talk like I'm singin' the blues.

everybody seen this? pretty fun...
yep, SZ if I get my way. SZ has several things going for it, but the best for me wasn't even strictly an SZ thing... it was being able to wake up in SZ and be downtown Kowloon by 10:30 am without any big rush~ what can I say.... I still like HK and consider it to be a World Capital and a good place to get to know.
Been in China five years, but all that time in semi-civilized 2nd tier cities. Got a job in SZ for the next school year, so I'm hoping it will be a better experience.
Not this week-end but the next, I'm in France with the missus. Gonna run in the woods of my childhood, gonna walk along the beach, gonna fire the BBQ in the garden ^^ But I will go back to China twice a year for work & familly.
Sinobear:
Good luck and Godspeed. I'm jealous (not about France, but the other things).
Well tomorrow is my last day here, maybe forever. The only reason I would come back for more than a short visit would be, if it would somehow make getting my wife and stepdaughter back to the states any easier.
Honestly I have been here for 3 years and the every year it gets less and less desirable here, the jobs are at best so so, the internet has turned from bad to really awful, the pollution certainly isn’t getting better, then of course you have the ever increasing hostilities with any of a handful of neighbors which could get ugly way too fast for my liking.
I just pray I can get them both back to the states before it gets too much worse here. I don’t hate it here (too often) but really the upside is very limited and the downside is a bit too risky for my liking.
