[QUOTE="Suits, post: 1187391, member: 4308"] That's because you haven't lived here for seven years. Or alternative, maybe you don't like it as much as you think you do, because otherwise, you would have set up permanent shop here years ago. I don't think I would have lasted seven years here (with plans to continue living here into the next decade) if I didn't like China a lot. I wouldn't stay here if I didn't like it, there's nothing like being able to walk down the street in broad daylight with an clearly visible alcoholic beverage and not get hassled by the cops. Plus, the ability to have healthy relationships with intelligent women means that I'm a lot less angry here than I was when I live in the US/Canada. To be clear, this isn't intended to be argumentative, but rather to propose the notion that my forum writings about the Chinese region may be combination of 20% self-therapy, 50% desire to give others an informed understanding of what they are getting themselves into if they come here and 30% misunderstood comedy. Yes, Chinese people, rich or poor, absolutely live for food. Everyone, all over the world loves to eat, but the Chinese have this smile that suggests complete happiness that they are only capable of forming when eating something delicious. And then they pay the bill and go drive the wrong way down 3 different street, blow 4 red lights and come within inches of clipping 32 pedestrians. I spit things on the floor now. Great questions.
