Its not sounds like you have yellow fever which will subside in time
Less enforcement of rules. It is the best and worst thing here in my opinion.
really people here have a since of unity and live in harmony unlike los angeles where everyone hates each other and is constantly in competition with one another
beaufortninja:
Is that why little girls get run over and 18 people walk by without helping? Is that why grown men walk into kindergartens and stab children in the face? Grow up and see the world for what it is.
nevermind:
Is that why they never consider each other? From pushing on the subway to stealing cabs? You're a troll. Admin, harmonize this Mo fo!
rich45:
beaufortninja, dont you know that even to acknowledge the fact that their is a little girl dying in the street is an unharmonious act. just think all the unharmonious thoughts that might go through your head. no no, what you should do is ignore and keep walking. if you dont see it it dosent exist
giadrosich:
So, I guess, in essence you could say that everyone who passed by the little girl were in harmony, because they all did the same thing! Except the last woman. She was the one who acted in disharmony. Good for her! Perhaps, if your definition is based upon that, China needs a little less harmony, and more thinking!
Born (USC hospital) & raised in LA. Here there is way more competition than LA. You just don't see it. In LA it is for power & fame. Here it is for survival.
For me, it isn't about survival. It is about business. Here I can run my business for about 1/3 of what it would cost to run it in the US. Plus my wife is Chinese and she is happier when she is around her family & friends.
ya i hope to never go to back to the usa. i'm like you i want to outsource jobs to china and find a chinese girl to marry. the west will fall soon so i decided to move to china
thedude:
aaawwwww...you've been drinking the local kool-aid eh? China is not the greatest...and after 1 year here you will be running back to LA. How 'bout them Chargers?
crimochina:
aahhh dude chargers are san diego, raiders are oakland, LA aint worthy enough for a pro football team they even screwed up the USC thing
thedude:
Hey I went to college in SD and have family there...been a fan for 12 years.
AND I freakin hate the raiders.
Redaria:
America should be happy to have one less loser living in its country, but China is the unfortunate host of one more douche-bag foreign guy.
beaufortninja:
Good riddance. The best thing the US could do is send its idiots overseas to stay. The population might be cut in half but the country will be more productive than ever! =D
rich45:
come on, you really think this guys american? chinese troll me thinks
If you want to live here and do business here, then here are 5 bits of hard learned advice:
1) Learn the language. (Spoken & Wrtitten)
2) Learn the culture.
3) Accept that you will not be able to change anything here.
4) Words here are cheaper than rice.
5) Stay for at least 1 year in order to get past the honeymoon stage before you make any commitments, business or personal.
derek:
You hit this directly on the head my friend! I suppose we could debate the differences between acceptance and tolerance but other than that, spot on! (Especially #4)
Xpat.John:
I am always open to a good debate over a cold beer. If anyone is in Guangzhou, let me know. Always happy to meet new folks.
talk to me in 2 years. 1st year i loved china so much more than the states, 2nd year i saw china for what it really was, i love and appreciate america now more than ever, even with the problems america is still a country where humanity is alive and well, we can openly voice disagreement against the govt, we can go to court and have a relatively fair chance of winning our case. life , property in most casses can not be taken away without just-cause.
i want to fix america or go to a european country that has a better govt and safer society
thedude:
Canada is a great mix between European socialism and American republicanism. It's the best mix of both in the world. And this is from someone who is Canadian, and could be a dual citizen, and decides not to.
Sangoku:
I agree with you.... The first time, I come to China was all party and fancy restaurants, nice girls, etc. The second time, I start to work for a Chinese company, and I discover the nightmare and after that it's the endless nightmare. After a couple of years, the guy will understand what it means to live in China, especially when he realises that many items are cheaper in US than in China. That's why we import many things for our child (clothes, toys, etc) directly from the US.
crimochina:
only reason i dont want to settle in canada is , when the shAt hits the fan and people realize that they cant fix america people will run across the border but i loved the people i met in my one day in canada
I found China to be so different that it was not boring. Better-not really. I did find it to be dirty.
Maybe because your picture of America is derived from Los Angeles?
you love china thats why u been there so long. i'm telling all my friends and family to come on down. chinese are so kind. the world can learn alot from CHINA
rich45:
how to cheat in business. how to cheat foreigners, how to make lots and lost of pollution. how to recycle oil from the gutter, how to put toxic chemicals in baby formula, how to copy other company's products, how to walk by when someone is dying in the street and not give a crap, mmm should i go on?
Shining_brow:
Like writing..(oh, sorry, no, that was the Sumerians and Egyptians). Ok, how about something to write ON.... (ah crap, sorry, that was the Egyptians too) How about medicine? (damn, I'm not doing well - the Egyptians had surgery as well...). Democracy?... (Gah! Damn Athenians...) Law? (oh, Hammurabi... sorry...) Ok, running out of ideas here....
heh why u block me? you love china thats why u been there so long. i'm telling all my friends and family to come on down. chinese are so kind. the world can learn alot from CHINA
crimochina:
seriously i sounded somewhat like that when i just got off the plane, pay attention to how they treat each other there in lies the true nature of their "kindness"
Cause you were a total loser back home, I suppose? I never should have come here, and I'm looking to go home as soon as I can.
I cant speak for America, but on comparison with Australia, China is definately not better. It is different and that is why it has an attraction to me.
oh look... another troll. Bring on the drama, baby \o/
I've been accused of being a China apologist, but even I will quickly tell you, Chinese life is NOT better than in the West. Like everyone is saying, you must be new here or you are a troll. I see hope for China in the future, but at present it is a backwards nation, defying all logic and practicality. Can you love a country like this? I do. But is not better living than America. It is exciting, frustrating, wonderful, and terrible. A year from now, you will either love it or hate it.
I am A US guy. There are many things I like about the US, and many things I like about China.
I just do business here in China, so I don't get involved in politcal things.
Governments..I don't like either, all governments lie, but at least I can speak my mind on a street corner in The US, that crap will get you dead or dissappeared here.
I like my guns! I have lots in the US. China doesnt trust its people with with gun ownership, because they know the China people would stage another revolution!
I hate most of the food, and cook for myself.
Most of the people here are nice. I like them alot.
The economy is worse in the U.S., They borrow from China to maintain the lifestyle, while I just work.I dont borrow from anyone. I learned alot from Chinese people and save most of what I make.
But dont worry, China's economy is built on a deck of cards! It will collpase with a big bang, Like the US and the EU sooner or later.
I am betting on sooner. What do you guys and government trolls think?
you guys complain about china but have been living there for years and don't plan on going home anytime soon. so just admit it china own! heh
kchur:
I ADMIT CHINA SO COOL BEST ENGLISH MOST CLEVER MOST HANDSOME MAN LADY GAGA OOOOOOOOOOOOOH YEAH!
i feel like a king in china
beaufortninja:
What'd you do? Flash some RMB and then have girls all over your little peter? Hahahahaha. You fail.
MrTibbles:
China hasn't discovered the "douchebag" yet. Soon, your mission will be complete.
I don't know living in China is better than living in America until I see your question.May be it is just your point of view.Please remember that different people have different likeness and different point of view.
How can you say this ??, first you have no good pizza, Pizza Hut sucks and you don't offer pizza delivery. If you did , you'd never make the 20 minutes or it's free.
TedDBayer:
papa Johns sucks, its just been too long since you had a good pizza, i tried one at home and tossed it. Pizza prices haven't really gone up in years so pizzas got cheap and crappy,,there are places to get good pizza at home for $30/$40,,China uh uh no way, you need an Italian to make it or it aint pizza anyway
Been about a year, how is the king of China? The closest you have ever been to the USA is a post card.
The two countries are different. And every person has a different life with different experiences so their view on what is "better" will vary.
I wouldn't say America is better, nor is China better. They are simply different.
Awwww, I'm so gutted this tool didn't hang around to become a regular. Surely people should learn to write English before they pretend to come from most unharmonious USA?
MissA:
Not go? Isn't it a law that you must be in school until 15 or thereaboutas?
ya in los angeles every one seems to hate each other. blacks and mexicans are constantly in a gangwar. over here you can walk down and the street at midnight night drunk, run into a couple of locals and not have to worry about getting your ass kicked. to that extent its pretty good. the girls are alot more traditional and less spoiled than the usa too.
tonguekissalion:
the westside of long beach 710 and 405. quit dick ridin you dorky pink bastard. its not my fault your wack ass grew up in edmonton.
TedDBayer:
What gang were you in, a triad? Chinese girls are traditional hookers
thedude:
