Interesting post, I have seen this outfit advertise before. I am familiar with the area, and I feel your pain.

Zhaoqing itself can be a hard city to live in, lots of pointing and staring, but despite that, quite a pleasant, scenic place.

I'd imagine it's hard for a foreigner in Luoding, from what you said, downright brutal!

Hope you got onto a better place!

PS. A friend I knew did some part time work in ZQ for a girl from Luoding, the girl from luoding screwed her over big time, so yes, they do only care about money. No desire to visit the place, sounds like hell!!
