So, you were earning more in China for a dead end job than in the U.K? That means that you are probably not one of life's winners.

Sure, money can stretch out further in China, but even minimum wage people in the west tend to earn more than most teachers in China.
Teachers don't really come to China for money, but for the lifestyle. If you want money, go to the Middle-East, lol.

Whether somebody is one of life's winner's or losers, my sunshine, is not for me or you to decide; it's what one feels in one's own heart and soul- caustic jibes from you aside that is.

In real terms I am making more money in China.
