Your GW attitude won't go down well on this site. And be careful what you wish for: It sounds like you are challenging other teachers to pick a fight with you. You may be some lout with tattoos and think you're tough, always someone tougher out there mate!

Also, Dalian can be a bit of dodgy place full of gangster types. You are just a highly visible target if you piss the wrong people off. The police can be a bit questionable and biased too.

I've known several foreigners, not just teachers give it the 'Billy big bollocks' attitude in Dalian (in fact, it is usually the non-teachers) and get royally f**ked up. There was a rather amusing story going round about one of the Intel expats getting nearly killed when acting like an idiot to the locals in Alice club; for example. He really believed his company's government connections would keep him safe from harm, lol. Not the case.
