@ Silverboy: I couldn't agree more, I worked in retail before I came to China, and after graduating went to Teach in China. I certainly wouldn't want to go back to working in retail in some crummy english town with a high crime rate and crappy weather! And no girl as well!!

Right now I'm working in the UAE, but if it didn't work out, I would go back to China for sure, problem is, there are many jobs that are increasing the hours and pay is remaining static, inspite of rampant inflation in China, so it may not be a good place to work for a while yet,,,we will see?

Cheers
