Her: "Hahahaha, they... how do you say it, they blow up my phone?" Me: "Hahah, yeah, yeah... so they're like your boyfriends" Her: "But they're more fulfilling than boyfriends" | ||

How did you find an apartment? I think I'm really gonna pull this off, not so much because I won't find a job, but it's gonna be great fun. | ||

Likely because they have everything they think they should have, but they are living a lifestyle which does a great job in sucking up their disposal income leaving them hostage to their jobs; coupled with a constant expectation that they should feel as happy as they are professionally successful. The richest segments of non-white collared Chinese society seem pretty content to me when I see'em high rolling in Macau or out drinking/eating in Tokyo for a week. It's pretty much the same across the whole of East Asia isn't it? People who I can relate it to my experience, I know how to live hand-to-mouth because I've taught myself frugality, but I just can't see any of my friends or batchmates being able to live their lives without playing poker or clubbing or treating themselves to indulgences in food. For them, once they keep on moving up and they have to sacrifice those things to earn more, they'll feel it even more missing from them. *and shit being such a cheapskate is part and parcel of why I suck* | ||

How did you find an apartment? I think I'm really gonna pull this off, not so much because I won't find a job, but it's gonna be great fun. I am a Chinese citizen (US Green Card), but I think this is doable with a student visa (since some of my friends have pulled this off as well). Or you can look into getting a work visa through an English teaching agency and then just find your own students on the side. | ||

It's the driving force behind civilization itself. Don't knock it like that, if it wasn't for that need we'd all be hoarders and murderers openly killing and pillaging instead of doing all of that same stuff but on the down low. | ||

People need to stick together. It is a strength, but on the same end, it's such a primal, addictive need that it often behaves as a double-edged sword. On the Division of Labor in Society, Durkheim's seminal work, wrote of that pretty well. | ||

People with high-paying jobs, but who remain unfulfilled by work and have no one to turn to. The entire world isn't like that. PS. She's hot. Yep, she is. ![[image loading]](http://hd35.xiaonei.com/photos/hd35/20080723/14/05/large_2199o150.jpg) | ||

Don't the Chinese people act really skeptical about you speaking English? | ||

Mainly because I was dealing with educated white collar professionals, not people that needed a white face to presume english skill | ||

Would you need to study up on said interviews before interacting with your "clients"? | ||

Yeah, like walk them through how to answer technical finance questions in English (e.g. how to calculate DCF, why you would use EV/EBITDA and not EV/Net Income, what happens if you overstate depreciation by x million) Although thats just a screen to make sure the guy/gal on the other end of the line can pay you good money (because if they're interested in answering that stuff in english, they probably can answer it in Chinese, which means they're probably making some good cash). | ||
