You think the Chinese drink much? Don't make me laugh, they drink very little compared to Europeans.

If you have been to more places in China than just Beijing and Shanghai, you would know how Chinese people really are. It is hard to tell in a city such as Shanghai which has so much foreign influences and businesses that tailor to them.

Yes, often drinking is used by the wealthy as a way to get business negotiations flowing.

Boys will be Boys, NOT REALLY. It is basically a bunch of young graduates who are too afraid to be a man and work hard in their own countries, or they can't get a real job in their own countries because they chose a stupid major like anthropology. So they come here for a year to get away from their parents and University life. Unfortunately, many don't spend their time wisely while in a wonderful foreign country, rather they drink it away just like in the University days. They are just travelers and confused young people who are using the ESL business in Asia to support their backbacking adventures. Shame on them! Go home! Don't come to Asia to do drugs, party, or drink. Even for the selfish reasons, like beer in China sucks, so go to Germany and teach if you want to drink, okay.....!!!

I am glad the Koreans got a little tougher on the foreigners. Soon China will also follow suit. The visa requirements will get tougher each year as an attempt to weed out the unwanted and unskilled teachers.
