My best friend has dreamed of moving to China all of her life and so when she got a job offer I decided to hitch on to her dream and check it out. As did another listless

Hi! I live in Taiwan now (I moved temporarily here for my job from the U.S.), but I have to travel to Shanghai and Suzhou every 2-3 weeks right now for my job. I agree with you that no book can really illustrate the Chinese culture, so it's fantastic to see it from your own eyes.

I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Take care,
Christine

i used to live in china (beijing to be more exact)... from 1998-2000
My experience from China, definetly was different from yours... Just for the fact that i was only 13 when i moved there, and i lived in a so called 'expact community'... you know, international school, foreign friends... all that... its really a shame thought.. because i never really got to know any chinese people.. -sigh-
But it was a great experience.. 'Cos nevertheless.. i got to know china.. :)

Hey, I am in Tianjin, and am also nearing the end of my first year here. I have also decided to stay another year, but I think I will continue in Tianjin. I really like this city.
