I manged that and can't even speak Chinese.

I'm not an ABC, but my husband is. We have lived in China for the past five years, along with our two young children. I lived in China for two-and-a-half years prior to that. The government and the people are two separate entities. We're involved in education and we enjoy being a part of the change from within.

I don't know which part of China you went to because I loved living with my relatives there. I'm an ABC and proud to say so. No Facebook/YouTube just means that I need to deal with a little less distraction in my life (which is better for my studies anyways =P). I felt no difference living there, except perhaps for the cultural norms at times and the language (it's embarrassing to order Pepsi in English out of habit when you're at a Chinese KFC...) at times. Are you sure your evil aunt didn't just impose a few crappy rules on you (like no going out after 10 PM) and now you're pissed off at the country?

China is rapid grow and could surpass U.S. economy in decade or 2. Jobs market is not good in U.S. many actually when to China to work there. Opportunity is growing there. Is important that you can speak good chinese if you want live there. Is a win win situation for you because if U.S. economy is worser, china is good plan B.

I understand your concerns. I am not ABC, I'm a CAT. I'm living in China, but like you, I'm also terrified and I am scared. I once got catnapped by some drunken government officials in Beijing, luckily I have sharp claws and scratched one of the culprits, accidentally ending his life. I did it on self defense but the government wants to cage me and put me to sleep. I'm out on bail right now, I hope my master doesn't put me to sleep.

yes its scary, stay in doors and lock the door.

There are some good things and bad things about China. That realization differs from person to person depending on individual views and experience. My first experience in China was a total wreck, but I managed to lower my standards and expectation and try to "blend in". As for the laws, the lack of it, and the "too much" of it can be bothersome. I've lived in China for some time now. I get by, somehow, but still, there's no place like home.

I know i can buy things & live in china for cheap. How much purchasing power does the $ have in South Korea?
Also how much would something like rent be per month? I am considering working/living there and want to get a good sense of how far my current salary would take me. Also how much would something like rent be per month for a good apartment in Seoul? I am considering working/living there and want to get a good sense of how far my current salary would take me so the more information the better!

Being generous, $1= 1,000 won. You can get a cute cell phone charm, an Asian can of coke, or about three bus rides for 1,000 won.

Korea isn't much if any cheaper then the US. I would say that it's about equal give and take on a few things. Food is less expensive as long as your eating traditional korean food. I spend about 1,200,000 won a month and thats watching my budget. Local beer is about 3,000 won ( a little under 3 USD) at the bar, Soju is much cheaper. You can eat a good meal for 6,000 won (about 5 USD). If you watch your food budget you can get by on 10,000 Won a day. I found its cheaper to eat out everyday, buying food from the grocery store can get pricey. Cosco in Seoul had some good prices on American Brand food. My job pays for my apartment here in Suwon, just south of Seoul. I think its about 250,000 won for my place, it's a small 2 bedroom. It will be a little more expensive in Seoul. I bet you could get a good apartment for under 350,000-400,000 won. Right now one $ is about 1,250 won.

If a Mexican girl were to live in China, and go to school there, how would she be treated

If a Mexican girl were to live in China, and go to school there, how would she be treated?
I'm curious to know what it would be like for a Mexican girl, or Hispanic in general, to live in China, going to school, and stuff. How would this be for her? Would the students accept her right away or hesitate? By the way, I really don't mean to be offensive in any way: I just want to know.

She would be expected to learn their language and not depend on social services.
2 :
They will treat you as a foriegn student. But don't be alarm thought I think they will be kind because China has alot of foriegn people there studying.
3 :
If anything, they would probably be intrigued because you come from the "cool side" of the world, according to them. There's definetly an excahnge of pop culture happening with both sides of the planet, so don't sweat it!
4 :
Yeah, I think you'd just be treated as a foreign student like any person would if they moved to another country. Maybe attend an international school?
