Hi,everyone! To be frank, I do feel proud of being a Chinese.I was born and brought up in a countryside, and begun my university in a big city, and I am now working in Shenzhen.Though I underwent much unhappiness such as being cheated and hunting months for a job, I still like living right here.Maybe some foreign guys would say that the legal or the traffic system are not so clear as in their own countries,but this is the unique way of acting in China.Since one knows the rules, trying  to make use of it is the only way to survive but not critisizing.

Some of you may have heard of the Mercer Human Resource Study, listing the 50 cities with best living quality in the world. There is actually no Chinese city among the Top 50, with Singapore being the best placed Asian city at number 34. The top 4 are:

1) Zurich 2) Geneva 3) Vancouver 4) Vienna.

Being from Austria, I am very proud of Vienna reaching number 4, and I have to say it is well earned. Having visited Vancouver, I have to admit, though,  that this really is THE best city in the world for me. I saw another chart recently with Vancouver topping the list,and Vienna being number 3, which is closer to my personal taste, as the two Swiss cities are just TOO expensive. That having said, I enjoy living in a country with one of the best cities to live in. But I could still imagine to live in China for some time, but not forever. As China is a vast country, it really depends on the town though, you cannot say they are all the same. I would prefer Guangzhou or Shenzhen, probably because of their relative vicinity to Hongkong. Hongkong is a city where I could definitely imagine living for a while, although it can be very expensive. I know a guy though, who works in Hongkong most of the week, and lives in Shenzhen, this makes the cost of living a lot lower.

The two biggest disadvantages of living in China in my opinion: 1) Censorship because of the political system 2) Badly damaged ecological system in many industry areas

this depends on personal feeling , when you have good times in China you will feel it is wonderful to stay in our country , if you feel the life is hard , then you will not like stay in our country .

I think no matter in which country , this depends , indeed when you feel not good , you can choose change a city , China is big ,and multi culture , you can change easy .

If you think it is crowd you can choose to go another quiet city ,such as Yun nan ....and when you live in China , you need go out for more times to communicate with our local people , when you know them more , you can get with them more easy ,and you will find everybody here is cute , he he h e, you will like all of us , and you will like whole China .

 I hope all foreigner friends who is living in China now or will come China future will have good stay and like our country , enjoy your stay , you will like our people , our senenry ,our culture ..............

China is wonderful !!!!!!!!!!!

Just relax and do whatever you want to do , see as much as you can , make friends with people arround you , we can speak excellent english , is it ??je je j e

Hope everybody happy everyday .
