what does that mean??

btw... to the op, your ideas of china are a bit skewed. The government there has a very tight control on how life is lived and uh... there's no requirement for insurance and if you get hit by a car, you're screwed. The other person has to pay but if they don't have money for your hospital stay, then it's up to you to pay it. I have family in China and none of them have a maid. Heck, I moved to here from China and my parents moved here 'cuz there's more opportunities here than in China in terms of career choices. And we won't even get into how tough schooling can be if you ever have kids. heck, i have cousins who haven't gone to college because it's really tough to get in.

better for men

I think he was talking about how all of walmarts products are made in china. I think he was trying to crack a joke, but it didn't come out funny.

Anyway, we are both right. you are speaking from the point of view of a girl who wants to raise a family, I am speaking from the point of view of a single bachelor guy. school is not important to me because I'm done with it. Besides, I will be an expat, so I will get treated better than the general population.

I'm sure that your opinion on a post dug up out of the basement will have zero effect...... unless you got a time machine!

Look at the date in 2007!

I spent ten days in Peru. Everything is DIRT CHEAP! 16oz Coke is 34 cents. REAL nice hotel room in Lima was $36 with two beds. Meal in a nice restaurant was $6.80.
Catch is you probably won't find a job paying US grade salaries. Otherwise you could live like a king....
PS; they use Corolla station wagons as Taxis there. Must be a good car.....

I wonder what made you think you can be treated like an expat in China when you can't even service your Yaris loan
I'm new to the forum and I think I can be entertained for quite a bit here with genius like you around
