Hi all..

I have been in China now over 10 years this month.

I am tossing in my towel.

I wish all you good luck in your time in China.


It's time for me to go home.

MTY,

I'm sure it's been a helluva ride!

Good luck with everything!

Warm regards,

That's quite a stint.

Mind expanding your story? How have things changed? What do you like/dislike? Is there anything specific that prompted the move?

Ten years =o

I hope you can speak conversational lingo by now! Though, learning Mandarin seems to always look better on paper than in practice for we "foreigners".

Good luck

Wow, well done for making the decision. I hope the mental and physical journey to settle back home goes smoothly and that you'll find work easily. I will be coming on 10 years at the end of this year (!!!) and although I've tossed the thought around several times, I think I'll be staying on a little while yet. I'm happiest as I've ever been in my current position, now 2 years.

How about describing some of the changes you've seen in the country? Many of us would be most curious to hear about how things were.

Note to the last one leaving: please remember to turn the light off, close the windows, and lock the door.

THE CHECK'S IN THE MAIL!

Warm regards,

Not much in Changes. These schools pay about the same as they have for the past 10 years. Very low, and yet expect you to dump thru hoops and sing a song because your just the hired entertainment section.
