Q: When is it time to head home for good?

So, almost three years ago I began what at that time was supposed a 6 month holiday after being made redundant.

China grew on me and I continued to stay and sacrifice my profession and career, in order to be an English to enjoy the lifestyle here.  But when is it time to wake up and smell the coffee???????

It's time to wake up and smell the coffee I'd say around 9'oclock in the morning. It's time to head home when it's getting dark outside which means it's getting pretty late!

There are a lot of English teachers in China with worse English than his. I've met them, and most of them are from Africa and Europe. I've also met some from South America, Spain, et cetra.

Traveler:

"Smell the coffee"  is the phrase used in the last line of The People's Daily Christmas message last year, insisting that America should be grateful to China for making Christmas possible.

Despite being ridiculed around the world for it, China still encourages it's paid posters to use that particular phrase.

It's probably time to head home for good when you start asking that sort of question.
