If you ever wondered, what brings us foreigners to China, here is the answer!
We don't care about money, we have enough. We're all rich westerners, or even from one of the countries of the former Soviet Union. We are also highly educated, have great jobs, some of you never heard of, work for the best companies out there, have achieved much in our lives, and now here we are, to find our perfect match.
Reading this propagandistic article, I couldn't help, but thinking of and humming John Paul Young's 'Love is in the air'. It must be the red communist colour of love, that attracts us and makes us fall in love with beautiful Chinese women, and handsome Chinese men.
If you have a different opinion, please feel free to share.
Here we are, having a blast with two handsome Chinese men.
Looks like a boy band.
I have to disagree with that. Maybe in some parts of Beijing and Shanghai, foreigners are a common sight on the streets, but in other cities, they aren't. And in the major part of the country, people have never seen a foreigner in their lives. That's why they treat us like superstars.
As for the blond hair, many Chinese friends have told me, that they can't distinguish blond from brown or other colours. To them, we are all blond.
'What brings you to China?' is a common question, but you hear it elsewhere too.
Xia Yuan is a Ukrainian name? And she couldn't find a man back home, that's why she came to China. What does she do again? Does she work, or is she a student? What if the handsome Chinese man speaks fluent English or even Russian? All those years of language study are for nothing.
Another funny sounding name. Ding Nuo is Italian? Yeah, and I'm Pope Francis. Brave to drive to poor areas in a Merc.
Most foreigners here have little cards with names and addresses written in Mandarin. It doesn't help though if the local person you show it to, is illiterate.
Here we are, with our top notch, but underpaid jobs. And of course we show off with our qualifications.
If you want to look good and advertise your business, get a 'white plant' and ask them to smile all day. That's how it works. And it really does. Sex sells in the West, a pretty white face with blue or green eyes, sells here.
Becoming a Chinese citizen is almost impossible, even if you are married to a handsome boy or beautiful girl. There's no such thing as a Chinese Green Card. There's a one year renewable resident visa.
As we said before, we work in underpaid jobs, and sometimes there's much month left, but the money is gone, that's why we cry and beg for money.
This could be me with my lot.
That is indeed me. Those are the reasons, why I'm here. All true.
Here we are again. Having fun travelling, taking photos, spending the little money we earn, and marrying local beauties. I wonder who takes the ugly ones....
Dashan, another typical foreign name. I wonder what country he is from. Lucky him, who speaks Mandarin and found the love of his life here. I envy him so much!
Here we are again with our fantastic jobs! Canada has a consulate in Chongqing? Why are my Canadian friends going to Beijing or Shanghai for their visas?
