It is undeniable that China has been developed very fast during past decades and has been moving towards economic top of the world like it has been in Dang dynasty 1200 years ago. As a country of 5000 years, Chinese culture is also unique. Even in the period when China was stumbled in late Qing dynasty, Chinese traditional culture had never been rooted up. It is worth your stay here when you want to know some cultural customs of Asian countries. This is mysterious country, of which you can understand some, but not all.

Huh, did not expect the discussion to go so wild and in that direction :)
I will admit, Chinese women are beautiful :) I spent most of my time with Koreans and Japanese though in China.
I am surely not interested in trying to change China or people living there. Like it would matter. Like people in the West were really so better that they can lecture others. China has "a bit" richer history :) Also being able to compare what is now happening in post-communist countries in Europe and in China can really make you doubt if our system is the best one. There are surely no easy answers about China, as some people in the West would want to think.
My motivations are of course money. And the way of life. There are cool things about being white in Asia. And there are cool things about being far away from "civilization" :) And food! Sichuan food!
