First, my lack of wealth. Second, where I'll be living. But he did say that I should look around locally, as there will be Chinese women there interested in meeting foreigners, though most of them will be poor and not beautiful. He said they will appreciate my kindness very much if I'm not stingy with them on dates. No problem for me, I don't mind spending money on dates if there is a good chance it will eventually lead to romance. Truth is, when a woman gives me the come-on, I cannot resist it, even if she's a bit of a dog.

This is all a wind up surely? Are you not apollyon/tom posting under another pseudonym?!

And 4,200 for 19 classes a week in the boondocks...they are screwing you good for that salary vis a vis the number of classes. I only hope your flat will be 5 star and spotless. You shouldn't take less than 5,500 for 16 classes, but that is just little old me's humble opinion.

GL with the Chinese women. They can be nice at first, but so can the taste of deadly nightshade. Once they find out the real state of your finances you might end up in trouble...
