I save 2300 U.S. Dollars every
month without even trying. In Canada this would be impossible to do with the high cost
of living and the taxes/rent I would have to pay. So, I stay here in China as my bank
account grows every month and my dream of retiring with a house and business in a
tropical climate becomes more of a reality each and every semester I stay here.

Exactly my point!

It's not too difficult to stay away from 'pink rooms' and bars full of drunken idiots who have escaped from the training centre on a Monday night.

With a regular job on a regular income, you certainly could NOT save that kind of money back home !
