The rest are 22 or 23, fresh out of college, and looking to drink and get laid s often as possible. While I have nothing against this, everything in moderation. Too many boozers as well as backpackers in China teaching.

I know some guys in their 20s never even set foot in college. There's a guy from near where I grew up in the UK, we can call him Danny. He got dishonourably discharged from the UK Army and wound up in China. From being a failed engineer in the Army, he now teaches english and comperes at a chinese bar and makes (for China) fairly decent money. Back in the UK, his family want him because he stole money from a relative, and faces a world of shit.

Not saying all laowais are hiding out in China to escape severe problems at home, but if your a divorced guy with child maintenance to pay, seems you are untouchable in China, and can enjoy cheap boozing and the comfort of young chinese women.

Again, personal responsibility, it's not a fashion or trend, a lot of FT's in China should try it sometime?
