I do not know why you
feel the need to teach others how to cook, if someone likes to eat lanzhou lamian each
lunchtime...let them do so.

I don't feel a 'need' at all, and I'm certainly NOT getting 'bent out of shape'. Taffy was the one who expressed an interest in cooking and I offered to help him.

You are proof that FT's in China are bitter, competitive,and always rail against each other.

I'm also not 'bitter' - 'bitter' towards what?
I'm here for a reason, and ONE reason only..... to make as much money as I possibly can in the shortest possible time.
Quite frankly, I don't give a flying f*ck about the system, and I deliberately stay away from bars and clubs - especially those that are frequented by pathetic FT's who live from paycheck-to-paycheck.
I am looking after 'number 1' and to hell with the rest. In the meantime, if I can help a fellow FT improve his/her existence in China by teaching them how to cook some stuff that they can't buy in the shops, what's wrong with that?

I have no 'hidden agenda', and, like many of you, I can't wait to get the hell out of this shit-hole. However, my goal must be reached before I leave, and it will be....

If you have genuinely misunderstood my motives, I genuinely apologise.
