They would even arrange my fly out of China and pay for it according to the law of my country, but I would have to repay them in full after I am back home in safety.

True. But it makes you wonder that someone who has such an inability to save money in China, could ever repay it back in his homeland.

As you have said before, those who need their mother's care, shouldn't be out in China...only those who can support themselves. An FT should have at least an open round trip ticket (date flexible) or at least the cash for a flight out, at all times, along with extra money, for if need be, a decent hotel and food and other costs.

It amazes me there are so many just running on fumes...but well China attracts them like pigs to....ah, better not!
