I agree. This article is very one-sided. Yes, China has pretty awesome food and yes people are playful and happy (but "immature" would probably be a better word). People can be friendly but people can also stare at you like an alien or whisper about you and think you can't understand. Most people only stay here for three reasons to be honest: 1) Because of family (wife, husband, etc.) 2) Because they make lots of money (perhaps other goals). 3) Because they don't know what else to do. I don't hear a lot of foreigners staying here just because they enjoy being here. There are awesome experiences, like BBQ and beers in a back alley sitting on a kiddy chair. If there is ONE huge lesson I took away from being in China ll these years... it is this... "Be patient and manipulate."
