Drinking always helps. Though I think in China, they'll probably take away you're liver and ship it to Guangdong long before they'll give you one

Exapts aren't always nutty, it's only in countries like China. Expats not on expat packages here, or those who have been here a long time are kind of nutty (I'm getting to that point), but you've got to be in order to survive. Vesicle, In my 16 months here, China has eaten up and spit out so many people I know that I've simply stopped keeping count.

BTW, my nice flat is pretty cheap. And I eat at unlicensed restaurants (many of which are better than overpriced overhyped 5 star ones). Though sanitation... Well I'm still alive.

Regarding clean air, we can't forget how LA and Pittsburgh were in the past. And while it's disgusting here, the air at least, it'll pass (hopefully). Growing pains. Growing pains. Not to mention that per capita, the US wastes oodles more than China or other developing nations...
