Hi MikeI have been here for 3 months now and am still wnatiig for the culture shock. Like you everything became normal very quickly. I kept running into expats asking how I was coping just fine! Love it here. I guess you need to be mentally ready and open.[] Reply:June 10th, 2011 at 11:25 pmSue,Glad everything worked out for you! It might be the case where you were ready for a change and enjoy everything that China has to offer. The only thing that irritates me every once in a while is customer service. You just need to know how to roll with the punches out here.Best,Mike[]
