I started working here in southern China in mid September. I love my job here. I get my own monthly stipend for my apartment and the cost of living is so cheap, I barely spend a quarter of my check. I paid off my debts and now my only bill from home is my monthly storage fee. I love being right next door to Hong Kong and for Chinese New Year I spent a week in Cebu, Philippines. I get the normal homesickness and it sucks having to watch the Chiefs at 5am but this has been an amazing experience.

I bet the Panda Express' there, are outstanding.

I love Chinese food but when you eat it every ****ing day it it gets old quick lol. Luckily there’s enough western food joints here to keep me from going crazy.

I found me a home I really like so it's what makes me want to keep my job. In do time I'm going ask to rent own because I can see myself here long time and if it's mine not have pay rent like ten years before o retire thinking all the fishing trips I can take. This place is literally my man cave cuz it's a basement house I've got a cool set up but going be on going things make it better. I've also got a garage my brother can work on motorcycles. I'm thinking though getting a heavy been bag and boxing gloves and work out punching bag. Maybe even get some chickens to chase around the yard and then jog around town till I get to the court house and run up the stairs listening to Eye of the Tiger.
