As a side note, when I was interviewing for a school, I talked to the outgoing foreign teacher. He was bitterly disappointed in China ... for the same reasons I found it EXCITING.

I'd found more optimistic energy in China (especially Wuhan) than I'd found in decades of living in Canada. He, on the other hand, came to China to find quiet, wise kung fu masters or some such thing. So he was disappointed and I was invigorated.

That's one of the weird things that stereotyping brings.
