Thank you kind sir. I will add Fight For Your Right by the Beastie Boys. Now, with your learned guidance I may waltz down the effortless path to oral English teaching success!

Some arrogrant Brit girl was lecturing me the same thing last August about the eminent downfall of the US. A week later, the news headlines were about the riots in the streets of London.

What places (recruiters?) can I go to in China to work as little as possible? It will be hard enough for me even being/surviving there so I need plenty of time off to do other things and so I don't want work getting in the way.

Thanks a bunch.

Deflecting attention to other countries won't cure the malaise evidenced in the OP.

It's hard enough just being there and surviving.
Every where where I be at before the general living is tough enough. 4 hour work days should be the norm.

Good point! I need more British artists. I'll add some class with Honky Tonk Women and glam it up with That's Not My Name by The Ting Tings.

Thanks, Non.

PS I do resent the casual way you associated B.I.N.G.O. with the fall of a nation. Wrong! B.I.N.G.O. is a good dog! Very Happy
Cool

Especially in a place like China where everything is so crowded and it is not that hospitable to English speakers in terms of getting everday tasks done, like banking. Go try to get a simple transaction done and it is likely to take half a day.

Thanks Guerciotti
You are not the OP and it was that posters comments I was referring to.
I agree about B.I.N.G.O - excellent dog. Goes down especially well in Korea I understand.
