Beijing...

So far, the place is humid, with terrible air quality, and quite noisy. In other words, business as usual

That disturbs me a little as well. To me, it reads,

White English man wants attractive, quiet, Chinese woman.

That's like, 80% of men these days.

*sniggers* I believe it's called Yellow fever, these days, if you want to be incredibly politically incorrect.

Yeah, it's a pretty disturbing advertisement. The pay isn't that bad, either.

I think it changed recently. It used to be 8 and something yuan to the dollar. Now I think it's seven and something. The rate is set by the Chinese government, which makes the world economy unhappy, and there's been a lot of pressure on the Chinese government to turn to a free market currency system. The Chinese government is resisting because the extremely favorable exchange rate encourages foreign investment, and China needs all the capital it can get.

1) old Chinese people are always walking.
2) submit your resume! You kind of look feminine. or something.
3) my brain hurts. But I am glad you are there and alive and things are nice and such.

When you say you're going to post pictures for us, are those the same pictures that you'll be sending in for the job...? If so, I think I speak for everybody in saying we'll need those behind a cut, with some warning ;) *duck*
