Articles : Robk commented on news 5 Advantages of Expat Life in China

Well, you have a good outlook on things I will give you that... but you kind of made this article look like a hand guide for losers. Many of the users on this site aren't ESL teachers and don't take pleasure in yelling, body checking people (I admit I do like it sometimes) and feeling valuable being of their skin, ...

I am surprised it isn't more. Do you see how they drive? They are SUPPOSED to follow the same general road rules as North America but instead they act like the roads were all built for each of them. The Cultural Revolution may have weeded out most of the intelligent ones but Darwinism is now weeding out the morons. Full Comment>>

This doesn't deserve to be news. People are trying to make it out to sound like she puts her students through slavery but I assume the guys just have a harmless crush on her. She is a young teacher and didn't think some fool who had way to much time on their hands and an axe to grind, would make such a big thing out ... Full Comment>>

That's part of why I got out of that racket. Horrible employers, unreasonable students and their parents... demanding to learn English in a week or so. Chinese just don't get it. They don't understand immersion and that they must take an interest and use English outside the classroom as well. They think somehow ... Full Comment>>

I should start off by saying I have been in China now for over eight years and I have had my fair share of stress... especially in the beginning.
