Point by point..
1. agreed on this one.
2. Somehow true. I lived/landed a job/managed to get it done remotely without any basic mandarin/cantonese skills (it was in Shenzhen), but on streets I just needed enough persistence. Asked 10 people in English where something was, one of those would help me, hell, many times I was walked there.
3. I'm neither into asians, but at least in Shenzhen if you headed to Coco/OCT/Shekou the level of talents was impressive. Even for the guy who is totally into latinas, to the point where a 7 latina (coffee with milk) is better than 8 white/caucasian and 8 point something asian.
4. Chinese have officially 4 days of vacations this year as I was told, however my company offers 11. As a salesman, I never had problems taking extra days off, as long as I was profitable for the company in the end of the month.

Just came back from a business trip from China.
1...They cut corners whenever they can. For them forgery, etc, etc is normal...
2. You need to learn chinese. Nobody (except in HK) speak english. The simple act of catching a taxi is heroic. I´ve made a stopover in Dubai. When asking directions people would point me the place and sometimes even walk a litle bit. Imposible in China.
3. I´ve never been into asians, but the average chinese girl is ugly. I´ve already met some bangable. But on average, fucking christ.
4. Chinese work like slaves. There is no vacation, I whink now they have one golden week per year. A sunday or a tuesday in Beijing didn´t saw any difference.
