A reader recently sent me an email:
Hey Andy-
I’m a fan of Misanthropy Today and was curious what it’s like living and working in China. Is it a lot different? I’ve been considering working abroad for awhile.
Take Care!

Hey Brian-
Well i’ve already written a little about the subject but if you want just a 50 feet up view, here goes:
Have you ever vacationed in Mexico? If so, you know that you spend most of your time walking, shopping, eating and then going to loud discotheques at night time. You walk, shop, eat and drink way too much. By the end of your trip your body needs another vacation.
Living and working in China is pretty much like that except imagine having to go to work every morning during your vacation in Mexico. Yeah, you’re in a strange land experiencing new things and flavors but you’re still required to wake up at a decent hour and do the same job you do in the US.
Pretty much the whole thing in a nutshell.
Andy
