In response to China is a hard nut to crack! (Flexible Enough)

I feel that too many of us are misfits. Some will depart China forever for other continents, and will never get over the bad things that have happened to them here. Others will post never-ending strings of negative stuff regarding EFL here. Ignore their vitriol. It's a way for them to release their anger. Only come here if you can be flexible and wily. Otherwise you'll be like a cat on a hot tin roof. Misfits will turn out to be their own worst enemies in China, I've seen it happen! Be ready and willing to go with the flow here, or don't come in the first place. That's my message.

I agree with what you wrote, but an american guy older than me who left China a long time ago, and who is now broke and intermittently homeless in the US, but that's another story, always told me, there is one word to describe people who upsticks from their home and go to move to another exotic country. Misfits.

And I don't just mean teachers here either. I know of many guys unemployed, just loafing around in china, dipping into their savings, simply to avoid boredom or because they don't "fit in" back home, whereever that place is.

Be ready and willing to go with the flow here

And your message above will get jumped on by Silverboy, but I will also state the obvious...a GW statement to appease your boss!

Light and love,
San Migs
