But I try not to care that much. Of course, it doesn't happen as quite much as that you may meet with. Good luck for having life in China. It's another world.....

People will always complain. Here its just more abundant and irritating because it's all the same damn thing. "We the laowai" actually get treated pretty well. We waltz into this country and make more in one day then some people make in a month and we dont even have to prove any kind of legitimate education or skill to do it. A lot of people don't even bother learning Chinese. Remember back home that kid who works in a fast food joint who doesnt speak English quite perfectly? Yeah. If anything it's the Chinese who should be complaining, not us. I don’t think it actually matters what country you are in. People will always complain.

But I'm not an animal at the zoo, I'm a real person, just like you. Let's all try to treat each other with respect." My Chinese isn't up to translating it, but once we have the text in Chinese, it's so cheap to get a few hundred cards printed up. Anybody up for it?
