The UK just is not a good place for single 30 something males who have spent a few years in Asia, not good at all.

Yeah sorry to hear that. It sounds like we're about in the same age group. Everything's all about money these days. When you take a look back in hindsight you kind of realize that by going to china to teach we were kind of following the money that was invested into china by all these european and american companies. The rich get richer and everyone else hates each other just a little bit more. Wonderful world, eh?
