I never said the USA was superior, only that it is different. I have lived in several countries and they all have strong points, and they all have flaws. Everything in my posts happened to me; I didn’t make anything up, but I have only lived in northern China in smaller cities and small towns. My conclusions came from observing the Chinese. People all over the world say one thing and do another, so I watch what they do first of all, because action is the truth and the rest is words.

I could tell the northerners were different from the southern Chinese even then. I worked with Han and Mongolians. China is a huge nation and not homogeneous but there were patterns. And there are a few areas were America is superior. I certainly like Chinese food better than Western although I missed the cheese and coffee but China does not import American goods. American are lazy in comparison to the Chinese but in a pinch, the Yanks will come through which is why so many nations come to us for help. By the way, we citizens pay for all those times we bail a nation out! And I do like the fact that if we don't like our government we can get rid of them in the next election cycle! So we can ride out bad leaders.

I've wanted to work in the South and in a large city but there have been no open doors. Hong Kong is my favorite city of all and I lived outside of Paris and still like Hong Kong better. I feel sure there are differences between north and south because there are in the USA. And I have lived most of my life in large town, I was married in New York City and now for the past 22 years in a very rural area.

No, I never saw KTV and I do not know what a Bao is. But my Chinese language studies are improving. My job is to teach English and I have had 6 languages in all plus English so I can be a resource to ambitious Chinese students which is my purpose for going there. I liked the program Crazy English and wish we had something like that here. We do have many Spanish programs which I watch to help my Spanish skills which is my weakest language of all.

I hope you will visit my site again with some information about yourself and your experiences outside of China.
