Q: Which point do you like best about your life in China?
Being with my family and watching my daughter with her grandparents,and also a good foundation installed in my daughters mind about how important education and family life is
The process of discovering a new people, city and lifestyle can be truly exhilarating.
well i think that traffic is the one thing that pisses me off the most. that being said, the ease of getting around is nice. whether it be by taxi, bus, train, or cheap flight. having a car is necessary in my hometown, and I love not having a car and getting around easily here .... it even makes up for dealing with the occasional taxi-prick
Getting preferential treatment all the time. But I still stay humble.
The smoking is great and the cheap cost of living as long as I stay away from expat hangouts.
Jíliú.hé:
god how much do you smoke man this is like your top five topic list here
Having an income that allows me to spend... splurge far beyond what I could back home!!! (and, I still haven't paid off my credit cards yet... I still get enough left over to splurge!!!)
That pay, and on the low hours to get it!
The contradictions which are treated as a normality. Contradictions in the west never happen according to the west. So the transparency in China is a welcome relief over ego, pretentiousness and misguided beliefs.
nevermind:
Are you on drugs? EVERYTHING you just said describes this country to a T
Taking my Chinese wife and half Chinese kid back to Britain each year so that they can see what civilization looks like.
MissA:
Why the heck marry a Chinese person and live in China for, then?!
oh, and the cheap beer and wine... those used to cost a fortune back home!
MissA:
The wine where I live is actually pretty good :) The beer is generally pretty awful, granted, but there is one decent lager and a newly discovered (by me) dark beer and these are drinkable.
When I first came, I liked the expat party scene. Staying out till all hours, cheap booze, stuff like that.
Now, what I like is that I've managed to carve out a great group of friends. As much as I want to go home. I actually think it would be really hard to leave them. You grow pretty tight with your friends here. Your TRUE friends. People come in and out of your life regularily. But, you only meet a handful of people that will likely be here as long as you. And those people are the ones I like best about my life here.
A few drinks and some good friends....it's all I really need.
