I like that I can still smoke in bars without some self-righteous axx clown in a giant SUV pumping 30 cubic liters a second of carbon into the atmospehere telling me that I'm killing him and polluting the air.

I also like that there is no such thing as "last call".

I can get my haircut for under $2.

I like that I don't NEED to own a car because the public transport and taxis are usually pretty good.

I like that in Shanghai I can get almost anything I want delivered, including McDonald's and KFC.  With Sherpa's and other places, I can even have beer and smokes delivered.

Wow, there's tons of stuff.  There's just a few.

The best part, that even on a bad day, I can walk around and just by smiling and saying hi to someone, I can see his/her eyes light up.

I like the social underpinnings that allow my favorite activities.  However, it is those same underpinnings that create a lot of the things I don't like about living here.

Those big family/friends/coworkers dinners with the round table and the lazy susan where everyone is just having a great, loud time...all you can drink and eat. Cheers! The Chinese certainly do that right.

There are many things I truly like about China, I just dislike a few, and that is why I chose to live here.

For example, China has made a noble effort not done by any other country to my knowledge.  Every sidewalk in most of their cities, have special tiles installed to guide blind persons.  And at intersections, sidewalks have slopped approaches for handicap persons.

China has made an outstanding effort to install signs all over the place in Mandarin and English (or pinyin), even if sometimes translations leave a lot to be desired (like in most trains at WC door "closed when stabbling" which means door closed when train is not moving).  Or "Not burning" for Do not smoke.

I do admire the concept of "family" Chinese have.  L do enjoy their "family" meals, and how also close friends become family members too.

I am facinated by their 6,000 years of history,

Their ability to work long hours, I see many work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, 4 weeks and 12 months each year, for practically peanuts just to survive.  I despise the "boss" who makes someone do that, but admire the individual that does it.

Chinese traditional medicine facinates me.  I make a lot of jokes about it, but in China, there is a herb, a tea, that will cure just about anything.  And you know what, many times it really does.

China is  a great country, I do respect it, and I am happy and grateful to be allowed to live here.  Where else I can see so many thousands of great looking Ladies walking around me each day.  It is a feast to my eyes to see so much beauty surrounding me.  And in general, they are very nice and courteous to me.

In general, I see more pluses than minuses.  And I do focus on the pluses, and tend to ignore the minusses.

For me it is having a more relaxed life than back in the UK. The family closeness that is here I really enjoy. Meeting new people and amking friends with some of them, I have a wider group of friends here than back in England. A completely different culture to try a get my head around which always surprises me. Being able to travel whenever we want. Having a Chinese wife. Being able to got o a restaurant and having a really good meal with frinds and paying peanuts for it. The weather here in south China.  Meeting with a group of expats each week or each couple of weeks who all have the same mindset and experiences from being here. Having complete strangers say hi and want to talk sometimes. The fact that it is nothing like the UK.

I love the women....for too many reasons to say here.
I love the food (most of it), and being able to eat out every day for cheap.
I love the scamming...I look foward to being ripped off...it's fun.
I love the corruption.  Money talks so you can get anything you want for the right price.
I love being able to smoke wherever I want...it helps with the effects of the toxic air polution.
I love being able to piss, spit or litter wherever I want....less hassle.
I love that I don't understand what they are saying about me, because if I did I would probably end up in jail for beating some of them to a pulp.
Most of all I love being stared at everyday like I was a circus freak...good times.

Cheap pens in China are of much higher quality than cheap pens in Canada.

I'm a young, broke, shy geek, yet my uh... "close" female friends are abundant. And they always pay for everything. It's simply mystifying.

Oh and food deliveries and smoking everywhere are nice things, too.
