Pics to come,
Finally i am in a new apartment.
Very high class garden community apartment complex.
I get a very good deal for my rent. My rent includes, Satelite TV, yes HBO, CNN and ESPN.
There is also a fitness center with massages and a cafe. Close by there is a new soccer field and tennis basketball court.
It's just 6 0r 7 subway stops from the center and on the way to the international airport.
Makes feel like i make 6 figures. ha ha

Totally convinced
I am totally convinced that China is not fit or prepared for the change that must happen here. Their customer service and quality of products are not up to par.
They have way too much to learn about the international community when doing business. It's a sleeping giant with potential, but they need a new alarm clock due a huge block of hinderance regarding their education in the way they do business. It's the same problems everywhere, and they don't like accepting advice on how to improve.
This is what i just recently noticed more and more. I happy to finally be in Shanghai and start a new life.

A Past Average Typical Day In Wenzhou
I get up. I grab some breakfast, and make my way to work. Usually it's a rush to class because i am just not looking forward to it. I wonder will i ever get myself out of this city and this low salary of teaching rut? I ask myself will always be part of this poverity sysytem, or will i get my break and be set free.
I teach my way through the class, The time goes fast usually and then i am done for the day after a few classes. Some days i look at my watch and wish the class would end.
As i walk on the street, the wenzhou people yell out to me and call me an outsider and laught at me all the time. In reality they are racial uneducated moching remarks. They just stare and stare at you. I don't take it lightly, i usually just brush it off, or make threat of emotion because i am just sick and tired of the disrespect. A few times this has lead to an almost physical fight in other ways. All of us foreigners go through this, we get so use to it that we just block it out of our sight and somehow ignore it.
As you go through out the day you seem them all spit, go to the bathroom, scream, yell and eat with their mouths open on the street. Sometimes i just feel like i am in a jungle with the uncivilization. The behaviour towards understanding the western ways and business culture is ridiculous. But the needle in the hay stack of meeting a real honest chinese person gives you hope that something worth while may happen. I know other cities are better than Wenzhou and the opportunities in China seem to be better than the west.
