"Emigrating" is when you are leaving your home country.

"Immigrating" is when you are coming in to a foreign country.

So, in the OP's case, he's "emigrating" from the United States for a "better life" in China.

When people come in to the US from the RED countries such as N. Korea, Cuba, China, former USSR, they are "defecting" to the US.

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 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

hell if you are moving to China, give the car to a friend for $1000 and tell them the Repo man will be looking for it an a couple months.... long as the registration is current your friend will be fine.... it will fuck your credit here in the States, but won't mean shit in China

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.....
