You are forgetting the most important point that most chinese parents EXPECT their daughter's husband to own a house and car.

I'm simply not prepared to live up to those crazy expectations on a FT's salary. Certain to say this year in China will be my last. Deceptive FAO's, materialistic selfish girls, ignorant arrogant rude people....I've had my fill.

Good luck to you though SB. I hope you find your dream girl, you seem to like it here.

Cheers and beers
