Time of Reflection; Looking Back on China

I have been in China for 1.5 years now. I have learnt a lot of costly lessons. Plan A never seems to work well here. You gotta have a Plan B and C. I just came back from the north. My forhead and eyes hurt from the pollution. It seems to be way thicker there than the south. I can't believe that the olympics are coming next year. Beijing doesn't seem ready to receive the biggest international show in the world.

I have noticed that the foreigners that stay here too long, become like the chinese in many ways. lying and scamming people. It just filled with theft and fraud here. There is no straight forward way with trade here. It's a nightmare if your trying to make a deal to make some cash and get ahead.

I have tried to do this. I gotta master my teaching first instead of getting ahead of myself. All people talk about here is trade. Of course those are the well established wealthy people making bucks here. Contracts mean nothing here.

I can't believe that there is 1.3 billion people here and i feel alone. I have talked to many foreigners and they feel the same. Many are planning to move on, they're just fed up with working for a 2 faced chinese boss over and over again.

I feel ok to say that China is not for me anymore. The uncivilization with corrupt business is just too much for me. I plan to move on after a year from now, and so i should after going through so much injustice. I can take so much of this or i'll go insane.
