Not a good place to bring family. I don't know how I would stay married if I brought my family over - they would not like it.

Good schools are expensive, easily USD $18,000 per year; lesser schools are of questionable quality. Dirty hospitals and clinics too.

Traffic is dangerous - there are no rules on Chinese streets. Today, in Xiamen, I saw an elderly man and a youngster nearly struck twice by inattentive an non-yielding drivers.

How do you teach the kids to not step in the spit, vomit, and other fluids on the sidewalks??

Work in China for the money, if you need it - but know it will cost you in health and longevity. It is only for the tough spirited!
