Okay, this it the Eagle, and not a bald eagle at that. I do have hair ... er, I mean feathers on my pate. I am here with the good missus who only makes me behave in front of company and when there is no company around. All the other times I am allowed to be as bad as bad can be. I've been here just over eight months and have signed up for a second year at my uni in ChangZhou. What else? Errrr ... blush .... no, I can't say it .... okay, you convinced me .... I like beer! And rum! And vodka! And ...

You could lend him yours ER. Just think how pretty he'd look in pink maroon glasses.  |

Kcanuck, arrived in 06 and staying until 08, then back to my environmental consulting job . One teenage son currently spending quality time with his dad. I still can't believe I'm here.

Can't say that I want to go back, more life I hafta. My son gave me two years to do this and my boss said he'd hold my job for that long. However, by 2010 my son will be finished high school and then I just might bring him with me.

kcanuck, I think I understand the "hafta" part. My move to China was "wanna" and "hafta". Supposed to be 1 year. ...5,5 years later I am still here and no clear plans to leave  |

I really need to go back and get my PGCE, yet the idea of facing up to the Real World is kind of terrifying... Going back to paying about 100 quid a month for travel, commuting for 2 hours a day on packed tube trains, paying a million pounds a week for rent. Argh. |

Hi kids, I've been sitting at the other place whistling old songs to myself - finally realised all the action is over here! WOW!! This place is cool! Nice one RD & Noles (and associated others that I'm sure must have been ivolved).
Right, introductions...
non-dave or nd, Australian, been here in the mainland for nearly 2 years, a 3 year stint in and out of Hong Kong before that. Spent most of the last 7 years travelling around the globe, and though I dearly love OZ I have no plans to ever live there again.
I'm still on the fun side of 40. I have a wonderful, beautiful and mostly even-tempered girlfriend/signifigant other/??. Met her in a little town in the north and managed to convince her to leave home and business to come down south with me to Dongguan. Now we have her brother living with us and reports that her Mum, Dad and a few other relatives are also on their way.
Life's good here and the living is easy. Mostly. Except for the things I don't like.
Over.
