$500 US is about 3500CNY. That leaves you 2500CNY to eat. So assuming you don't do anything but work, and you walk to and from work, that's about 80CNY per day for food. That's feasible, even if you eat out one meal a day. If you stay away from Western foodstuff, eat local vegetables and fruits, rice, noodles, tofu and soy, little or no meat and dairy products, cook at home and bring your lunch box, then you will be fine, and a little thinner in no time. We tend to eat too much anyways. Have you heard about the virtues of a restricted calorific diet? Not a bad deal afterall.
2 :
Do not fret about food; no need to be concerned cost.......great food; low price even in a nice restaurant....believe me!
3 :
you can eat seafood cheap as hell in china, while in america, they charge an arm & leg just for a lobster tail.
4 :
100 USD should cover the food part.

Yes - you make money (not printing it- but earning it) in china, you go to china bank and open bank account - and you send money to your bank in USA. (Bank Transfer - not western union)
2 :
Yes, however there is an exchange rate. Right now 100 Chinese Yuan equals 14.6481 American Dollars. This rate changes daily. To exchange the money, go to an American bank with a branch in your Chinese city and ask for the international exchange department. They will gladly exchange it for you. Be advised that many banks charge a commission for exchanging the money. Another way to do this is to take the Yuan and open a checking account in the Chinese branch of an American bank. Then when you come to the U. S., you can go to another branch of that same bank and write checks against the money you deposited in China. You may have more money or less money than you deposited in China because of the exchange rate.

In China for my girlfriend, did I make a mistake?
In China for my girlfriend, did I make a mistake?
I love my girlfriend very much, I left my stable job and left college to come be with her while she prepares to come back to the States with me. This is for one year. I've been to China several times and even lived there for a short while so its not like it's the culture shock getting to me. She has been very moody, and sometimes just mean to me. I'm not the kind of guy to whine and complain about something, but I've mentioned to her that I don't appreciate the way she has been treating me and she will say sorry and be sweet but the next day she may get pissed about something else. It's not her ''time of the month'' or anything like that. I don't know what else I should do. I feel like I gave a lot to come here. I decided to not leave for the military, I left college, I left my job (in this bad economy). Now I'm working in China and making less money, around a language I don't know very well, away from everything I know. I don't mind doing these things for her, I just wish she wasn't being so moody with me these last couple of weeks. Any suggestions?

You made a mistake, we all do. They have mood swings and can be a control freak. Go back to States, learn Mandarin can be a plus tho

lol...someone finally noticed what I noticed in elementary school. I was born in China. And was raised to think girls would be shy, quiet, etc. you name it. Then in the elementary school, I noticed that most girls are MORE bossy than boys. That's the way it is today. Since everyone would be on the side of the girl as soon as she start crying...whether she is right or wrong. As boys, we were taught not to argue with girls, not to hit girls, and do things for girls...like fools lol. I am glad you learned about modern China. Many other foreigners still say that Asian women are submissive..yeah right! Suggestions? You might want sit down and talk with her, and settle this once for all. If she still won't change, I suggest you move on. There are always sweeter girls who will treat their men with respect.

China 's Second Language http://www.meridianmagazine.com/ideas/090325china2.html English has become the de facto second language of China .

English is the closest thing the world currently has to an international language. English is commonly used in business, educational, and cultural settings on every continent. Learning a second language is a good thing that is never "over-rated". Since when is earning a living "over-rated"? Everything in the world costs money. Do you want a house to live in? That costs money. Do you want something to eat every day? That costs money. Do you want to go to college or send your kids there? That cost money. Do you want medical treatment? That costs money. The only people who make idle comments against honest work are losers and sponges (who live off of their parents, spouses, welfare, etc.)

Any and all knowledge is good for the person who puts forth the effort. As for making money, it should never be more important than the health of the children. But when you think about it money should not be more important than the health of the people or the land.

Personally, I think trade is the single most effective way to democratize a nation. Far more effective than an invasion, for instance. However, I also believe that because capitalism necessitates that there will be some losers, a basic social safety net is a wonderful idea. It frees people to take entrepreneurial risk (because if the venture fails, at least your family won't starve), and it helps produce a class of capable, educated workers. Plus, I believe it's always wrong to let a child starve. So, I'm all for trade, and I believe it will increase the freedoms of the nations we trade with (if done properly), but I'm no fanatic yelling "commie!" at the mere hint of helping others, so perhaps I'm not really the target audience for your question.

The trade the US has been doing with China has done more to take out communism than any war ever could. We are democratizing China. Liberalism and its tyranny on our US manufacturing put us out of business. We cannot compete.

In the interest of China.......If we couldn't make money off them they would be as bad as Cuba or North Korea! Money makes the world go 'round.....or was that love? Hmmmm! Maybe the love of money makes the world go 'round!
5 :
I don't understand this inconsistency from the Bush administration either. There are a lot of conservatives bemoaning the fact that we are rushing our economic future into the hands of the RED Chinese. This will come back to bite us but as long as the Neo-cons (who aren't real conservatives to begin with) remain in power, the warnings are being ignored. The only real hope is that the communists in Beijing lose a grip on their increasingly wealthy population before they can bring down the US and establish their East Asian/Pacific hegemony.

CHINA WILL FALL LIKE RUSSIA. COMMUNISM DOESN'T WORK THE PEOPLE WILL RISE. WE WILL BE THEIR TO PICK UP THE PIECES. JUST LIKE WERE DOING IN RUSSIA. AMERICAN ENTERPRISE IS RUNNING RAMPANT IN THE FORMER SOVIET UNION. IT WOULD BE CRAZY NOT TO TAP INTO THE MANUFACTURING POWER THAT 2 BILLION CHINESE HAVE. THEY ARE PAID LOW WAGES AND THAT MAKES IT AFFORDABLE TO HAVE SOME OF THE MANY PRODUCTS WE USE TODAY.

communism was created by carl marx. It is the idea that everyone works for the better of the whole and no one is better or paid better than anyone else. example being that a school teacher would teach a shirt makers children in return for shirts, a carpenter would fix a plumbers wall in return for the plumbers services, ect. It is not evil or bad, and in fact a great idea. The problem is that it doesnt work because people are inherently greedy and power hungry and the powerful end up abusing their power, i.e. cuba, germany, ect. but the idea it is evil is just capitolist propaganda. NOT COUNTING the fact that being liberal has nothing to do with communism, it simply means everyone should have the right to live the way they want, not follow a set standard of hardcore neo-christian, 2.5 kids, married for 40 years, crap.

the ideal of Communism is a very good idea,unfortunately human greed always finds away to make it a mockery just look at the corruption now in the so called democracy's which is much worst than at anytime under communis state,their is only one diffrents about the two, communism you tendered to disappear when you protested,but by the look of thing that's going on in the so called democracies beaning arrested and secretly flow to some country to be torched to avoid any legal responsibility! looks like its all the same!!!

Ok first let me get to the core of your question... between capitalism and communism, which is inherently bad or good? Or maybe the difference? A. Capitalism, from a moral stance, is more evil... as it teaches ppl from birth that their entire worth evolves around 'self'. We see this everyday with our idolizing and rewarding the rich, most of whom inherited this wealth. The ppl who work just as hard all day long as janitors or store clerks are belittled. We reward the Donald Trumps, the Oprah Winfreys, the football stars, etc... If you live in a mobile home, you are considered trash. Communism evolves around community where you are valued by how much you put into your community and not by how much more you have than someone else. B. China/USA trade... I think you are asking if communism is considered so bad then why does the USA trade with them to the extent we do in order to make lots of money. - the answer is partially in part A of this answer... meaning there are no morals in a capitalist economy except to reward wealth no matter what means were used to obtain that wealth. - the other part of the answer to B is that the USA believes it is converting China to a free-market... the uneducated call this democracy because they don't understand that democracy has nothing to do with economic structures such as communist, capitalism, etc... There are many different forms of democracies. Simply put and to reiterate, China is finding that when you combine a free-market to a degree with communism, the result is the fastest growing economy in world history.
