Chinese people assume my girlfriend is Chinese but my son looks very different, with his large eyes, curly hair and thick, long eyelashes even longer than mine he doesn't look Asian at all despite being mixed. The attention that this little man gets is far beyond any other baby that I've ever seen. In department stores he gets mobbed by women getting right in his face, wherever I take him I keep overhearing "piao liang" (beautiful) over and over again, when I take him on the school campus a small crowd of girls gather around, one time I took him on a night out with us and all the girls there lined up to kiss him on the lips (I never should have allowed that). All this goes to show just how much Chinese women are enthralled by a cute, beautiful, exotic look. If he wasn't mine I would be jealous, but as it is I can live vicariously through him! :lol:
Aww, how cute

I guess being a little guy putting up reasonable weight is an attention getter (and in the case of China, being the only foreigner at the gym).
Are you the guy in that blog? Unless you're another black guy who's recently returned from a trip to China and Taiwan. :lol:

Just visited Beijing a month ago and Internet is such a big problem. China has a firm restrictions on their internet connections. I asked a friend who have been in China and suggested to use a VPN connection like http://www.sunvpn.net/.

China is still a relatively easy place to get into and work and live here if you want to teach.

If you want to do something other than teaching (and it is teachers they need) then you need money or connections.

I would always advise anyone who wants to live in China and they don't want to teach or they don't have the qualifications is to save up, study Mandarin at a Chinese university. Then they have enough time to make connections, meet people, loads of women on campus.

China has all the bakers, bricklayers, plumbers, brain surgeons and nurses that it needs. They don't need anyone else from the west apart from English teachers :lol:

I've pretty much burnt my bridges to China (and I guess Hong Kong). I got annoyed about covid and posted pro-democracy stuff on WeChat as soon as I fled and had downed enough pints of Tiger. It's not a crime (if you post on an account created with a non-China phone number) but Xi has ruined the place and I'm never going back while he's on the throne.

It's really poor for dating now too as the locals are too suspicious of foreigners. The A List youtubers (Laowhy, the South African with the hot wife) were smart to leave while they could. Watch Laowhy's harrowing account of how he fled and got his family out!

About the only good think from my China 2.0 story 2017 - 2020 was the students were great fun to teach and I had a memorable time actually doing something with my two TEFL certificates.

Weirdly the teaching bug has stuck and now I'm teaching in my native UK.
I was Happier Abroad for a while but Covid killed that off.
