I believe what Quester meant to say with all that killing babies talk is "unwanted embryos without consciousness". I'm not a huge fan of how a number of Chinese see abortion either, but that Holier-than-thou, American missionary crap ought to be kept confined to the backwaters of the "real" America.

What kind of "security" is that? Back home this guy would have been tackled by 4 guards, head-locked and cuffed the second he lifted that keyboard.

KIA is a Christian school but I guess one year couldn't harm too much. You could also hire a teacher full time, 300 US$ a month is a reasonable alternative to Chinese or private schooling if we're only talking a year. Might also consider taking the plunge and enrol the kids in a Chinese school. Would pretty much guarantee them having a decent command of Chinese after 12 months.

I think he's referring to how you have to pay the full amount in cash in China for a car if you haven't got a house/flat as security to get a loan. Goes without saying really that this applies to foreigners as well.

"You're always allowed to turn right at your own risk and responsibility" was what I was going to write, but the more I think about it the more I doubt myself. I've been driving for 2 years now and I turn right no matter if there's a dedicated arrow or not,, just like the Chinese do. I do know that pedestrians -in theory- have the right of way when you're turning and encounter them in the zebra crossing, although I believe many Chinese drivers aren't aware of that or just don't care.
