Perhaps I was wound up a little tight!
Anyhoo, really, I am fine here. I am afraid I, perhaps selfishly, am not here to get involved with Chinese politics and human rights. I will do my little bit teaching the upcoming generation. A single step and all that.
For money etc. Well, it seems I could earn more in Korea, but I am here now, and have been for more than two years and I don't feel like changing again right now, plus my Chinese girlfriend may have problems following if I did. I save US$500 a month here, which can mount up over time and, as you rightly say, I can live nicely on the rest. No, I am quite happy here. In 4 of 5 years maybe I will have a different view. Until then...
Ciao!
P.S: Sorry for comparing you to an American!
