Actualyl not thats not what I was talking about, but your not looking to have a discussion, your looking to exalt yourself and preach a bit. making the best out of a bad situation is fine, when you have no choice in the matter that is. You misuinterpret simple sayings to suit your own very limited ideas. I don't recdal every saying not to make the best out of any situation, thats the duh factor, and so obvious as to be stupid to point out. Read all I have written, and take a class in how to listen and reason. To do something means just that, do something, like what I have said, to stop ignoring the problem, and just accepting it. I have already said what to do, don't ignore it. You are quite apathetic, and a liberal pin head to boot, which is a real shame. *Yawn* your not even worth talking to. You can PM me if you like, but I am afraid my opinion of you is too low now to continue a public dialogue, ignore time for you, good bye.

Seems like Robert, the original poster (who hasn't returned to this thread), should really rename his topic:

Some experiences of one teacher in one Chinese city

[philbags]

British? good lord, he's certainly not one of ours! thought the bally old chap was one of your boys.
Still, I had to sympathise with the poor blighter to some degree, after all nobody wants a good rogering on a foreign field now, do they?
Looks like a might be seeing you in a week or two, tally ho!

Where are the true facts I was promised? Ok, I bit. An FT who has a year and a half in China, possibly in one city only, is an Old China Hand who can give you the straight dope on a country of 1.3 billion people? I only did a year (may come back)so I won't go beyond calling myself an Expert of all things Chinese.

Don't get me wrong, I haven't lived anywhere that I didn't whine about. It is good exercise. But realize how ignorant it sounds to start making up statistics about 85% of Chinese people are this or that, or that Wenzhou is the worst. China is huge. There might be a place for you.

I hate deceiving titles: how about "My experience in Wenzhou, a Cautionary Tale? As I used to tell my writing students, write about what you know.

Well English Gibberish..I haven't been fired from EF...that is...yet... but there is always a chance..if I follow your advice...

Robert,

I can relate to what you have said.

I have been disillusioned many a time.

After negative events, i have even left China for periods.

But, i continue to return, because of the possibilities..., because of the interesting things i can do here. I come from arguably the best city in the world, but i prefer to live in China. We can live heaven in hell or hell in heaven.

Don't give up on your dream. Is your 5 years up yet? You still have time, be proactive, go and work for a university, meet some babes.

If i was to give you the answer, then i would say get another job in a nice clean city in China. Make some new friends, be sincere, and you will attract like minded nice people.

Work a day and weekend job and save heaps. Hard work takes your mind off your problems, and as the bank account grows so does your confidence.

This is my experience.

[englishgibson]

My bank account doesn't seem to grow much, Mitch .... but i sure've met some babes .... in my case 5 years coming up soooon

I am sure that there isn't a gun pointing at your head; leave if you hate it so much.

I did.

It's a fact that 3 out of 4 people posting statistics on the internet are very talented and have developed a skill that allows them to type with their bumholes.
