Articles : Dandman commented on news 5 Cases of Reverse Culture Shock for Expats Who Leave China

It's bizarre how alien everything feels when you go back to your home country after being in China for a few years. I find it strange that people don't mention it much at all. I really miss Wechat pay myself. It made everything so easy! Full Comment>>

Fair enough really. If people are knowingly breaking the rules or regulations set up, then it makes sense to get them out. Full Comment>>

Health insurance is a big one and something a lot of people from here in the UK seem to gloss over in my experience. Incredibly important given the price of some surgical procedures etc. Full Comment>>

Articles : Dandman commented on news Why After Six Years in China, I Still Can’t Live Without Western Food

I know exactly where you're coming from. I love Chinese food, especially Sichuan cuisine, but the taste of home is always somewhat comforting. My wife never understands why I buy terribly pricey western style sausages and things every so often either! Full Comment>>

It's always a shock how much things change when you stop to consider them. I spent almost 3 years in China before making a trip back to the UK. By the time I got back, Britain felt like an alien planet compared to what I was used to in China, lol. Full Comment>>

Articles : Dandman commented on news 6 Reasons Why Foreigners in China Get Deported

To be honest, the first 5 are just common sense and the same everywhere. In terms of the final law mentioned, I don't know too much about it, but if it's just a case of my messages being monitored and Internet usage being checked, then that's fine.

(Chongqing) Features : Dandman commented on news Want to Set up a Business in China? Why Chongqing is a Good Option

Chongqing is a lovely city, but from experience there are some difficulties if you're not familiar with the area and you have a young child in a pushchair.
