Hi thanks for the response to my post. Here are some things I would like to comment on from your own post:

Some western people, though, seem to be lacking in a little "shame" themselves with some of the stuff they do in China.

That is because western losers love coming to China due to the fact that they are put up on a falsely high pedestal even if they don't deserve such credit and/or fame. I will give you this: At some training centers if you have the right "look" as in Aryan Blond hair and Blue eyes you may see the owner of the place bend over backwards to accommodate you and your schedule. I've known folks who got time off to do their own rock shows and folks who got away with having longer vacations because of this. Let's not even mention higher salaries and being allowed more legroom regarding tardiness and such. That is why the woodbine willies and londongirls are so adamant about defending tc's, because they reap the biggest benefits from this corrupt system. That and they have the moral compass of a drunken horde mongol who just broke into a monastery of pious, young nuns. They wouldn't care if other expats get raped in regards to money, time, and well being. That and they do not have a problem doing it themselves.

I am sure the folks who won't respect your girlfriend are grade A idiots. But that is their loss. You found someone nice, and good luck with your relationship.
