As always, that is none of your business. Besides, many a teacher on here is more than merely just a teacher. We have hobbies, side projects etc.
Many a teacher will leave teaching and move onto better things.
Not to mention that a lot of us don't actually really like just hanging out with the vast majority of teachers.
I am afraid there's one born every minute. This man must be as a green as grass, a newbie? I get upset if I'm tricked out of 5 baht.
Obviously, you have no experience of any business in China beyond teaching then
No, but do you? Or why do you post here?
Losing 5,000 euros in China on shipping stuff when your job is not set, is madness.
I didn't mention bars, that awful american name, nor did I mention in China, I said pub...there is a clue. As for gold diggers no time, for them. People in the fox and hound were still creasing themselves with laughter at that story though, lol
Why don't you search out the story in question, but I expect you will retort with some criticism of China to deflect. You are the only foreigner I know who wasted 5,000 euros in China btw, makes for quite an amusing story in the local pub round here, I printed your post off and all the expats and FT's were in tears of laughter, lol
Obviously, you have no experience of any business in China beyond teaching then. People have lost a lot more than 20,000 euros for various reasons. Some through faults of their own, some through being deceived. Believe it or not, some foreigners deal with sums of money far higher than what a teaching job can provide.
One of my Chinese friends has recently lost a lot more than that due to problems with her business partners and she isn't even a foreigner.
Besides, if you are the kind of person that spends all of their time in those foreigner bars, well... that says it all.
Most foreigners that have been here a while, learn to see these kinds of places for what they are after a while, you know? Paying excessively high prices for beer and shagging disease ridden, gold-digging foreigner groupies just isn't the one. But once you actually learn to speak Chinese, you've got quite a world to explore outside of those places.
