I came here on a scholarship in 2007 (same city), taught kindergarten in 2008 and returned this year. Been trying to learn Chinese and it's more fun to do it here. Plus, I just get bored and need to change my life every so often.

how often did you and your parents (or single mom?) move from a place to another when you were a child , teen ?

Never. I grew up with my dad. Lived in Illinois until I joined the Army at 27. Been around quite a bit since then (35 now).

I really thought that I would live my whole life in my hometown. I got a scholarship to study abroad in China in 2007 and wanted to come back.

Not knocking anyone who stays in their hometown, I really miss it sometimes.

Post pic of chics that you see on street. I am of the belief that the average chinese woman is shaped like a 12 y/o boy...no homo.

很有趣，很真实的照片！

It looks a small but pleasant city to live in.

I'm planing to visit China very soon!

Since you living in the city of Shenzhen as a foreigner, do you have to apply for a special pass to go to Hong Kong? I know people from mainland China have to.

Schmoff · « **Reply #113 on:** November 25, 2011, 08:55:42 PM »

and I know China is a huge country, so Cities in the North are completely different from those in the South. Have you ever been any northern places in China?

Cool pics Garebear, I spent three weeks in China for business, (Shanghai, guanzhou, chongquing) very interesting culture, different than anything I've ever seen. was hard to get used to the food there though, spent a lot of time at mcdonalds because that was the only western food around in some of the areas I went to!

谢谢你！

Most foreigners get multiple entry tourist visas, which means you can go to Hong Kong as much as you like. If you stay for over a month, you usually HAVE to go to Hong Kong on a tourist visa, since it is considered leaving the country.

You are correct about mainlanders needing a special pass to go to Hong Kong. It's not all that cheap for them either.

The furthest north I've been is Shanghai, which isn't that far north.

Been here four times and still haven't been to Beijing or the Great Wall. Need to get up there sometime.

Never been to Chongquing but I've visited the other two. In fact, my girlfriend is Guangzhou now. It's very close to here (same province - Guangdong), only two hours by train.
