The good of the good; I am not backing down

I am not giving up, I am not backing down. Shanghai is a very nice city. It has a western way of doing business. I have learnt that the city that i live in Wenzhou is the hardest to do business. They have a very different way of mentality in doing business.

The city of Wenzhou is filled with millionaires. In order to make a lot of money you can't be upfront. I want to stay the course of a year there. I can always find a better way of doing things in Shanghai. China is full of jobs for us. I am not worried. I just have been in culture shock of the way they do business in Wenzhou. I have felt betrayed and rejected but this is normal at the beginning.

I have a friend here in Shanghai who studied at UBC and he agrees that Wenzhou is very different from China. I was born to travel and born to find myself abroad. I am not coming home to give up, i want to stay in China as long as i can.

The Chinese women are the most beautiful in the world. They are very nice to talk to. They are very supportive in my situation. I have made some good friends. My girlfriend stopped her shift
to take an hour bus to give me medicine when i had the flu. When i was let go from my job she was there to comfort me. She has spent a lot of time with me in support. She even sewed some holes in my clothes for work.

I AM NOT BACKING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!
I am a winner if i do not give up.

Rob in Shanghai.
