In response to Re Lingdong Foshan (backpacker cum-teacher)

Agree with what you say, but...I also think on the part of training centres the attractive female language assistants are a cunning ruse to attract the lonely and lovelorn ft and keep leading him on all the while the centre pays him peanuts. Chinese are the masters at manipulation, sad to say.

If most of the boozer and backpacker guys think they are going to get close to those leggy girls, they'd do better to learn more about the culture they are in. Money talks, bullshit walks. Even expats not involved in teaching, with real money behind them, get burnt.

agree about chinese guys too...
