of June 2009, which is expected to relax things
a little. In the meantime we continue to muddle
through as best we can - even as prices continue
to rise, and service becomes ever more unpredictable

About
this Website:
This website came in being because we were often asked
for advice by other Expat's, regular visitors, and also
general tourists. I determined there was a need for
a specialist website where answers to common questions
could be made freely available to all. Personal comments
reflect what has actually happened to myself and other
contributors, and we accept that other people may have
different experiences
Welcome to China Expat's |
