My colleagues in China were just stunned when I tried to explain to them what my Medicare card was for. And equally stunned at the generosity of our welfare system. Getting paid by the government to stay home and not work or to have babies or to subsidize child minding etc etc was all totally bamboozelling for them. They are used to the concept if you don't work you don't eat.
