In China it's so easy to slip down the road, have your fill of barbecue and cold beer(even if you have to slip over the road and get it from a place with beer in the fridge) without spending half your wage packet.

I agree with this part. However, poor quality bbqed meat and tofu and veggies aren't everything, nor is drinking beer each night. However, that said I do miss the good quality beer to keep in your fridge.

Why on earth did you return, to stuff newspaper down your shirt and trousers to get shut-eye is some derelict factory?

Returned because of a family problem as previously mentioned, not out of choice, but necessity. Also felt I needed a break, I hope that answers that question. And at the moment, sleeping at a mates house, and hopefully getting a place to rent soon,while still applying for jobs.
