I am a female teacher from the UK and taught in China back in 2004 and had a Chinese boyfriend, so it does work both ways. I did see a lot of Western men with Chinese girlfriends especially around Shanghai, but although there are few Western women with Chinese boyfriends .etc., it does happen and can work out. China is an amazing country enriched with history, culture and tradition. It would be nice to see some posts about things like that and the teaching style as opposed to childish insults like one's in a chatroom on yahoo or something. Aren't we supposed to be professionals?!
