When I mention the desire to go over there and get an asian wife, i.e. “conquer” asian women,
I think this is THE major reason most white males want to settle abroad, especially in asia. If
“learning the culture” or “adventure in a remote part of the world” were the ONLY reasons
white expats settled in a asia, then why don’t they become expats in a REALLY exotic location
like the Islamic middle east or Africa? Because most asian women in asia are easier for a white
American to catch than a cold, that’s why.

Sorry, but you have to be kidding. Have you read the security reports for the middle east or
Africa?

Even regaridng Asia, I chose China over some other countries because of the safety issue. Just do
a search for travel advisory or whatever. It shouldn't be too hard to find.

And to be honest, my motiviation to settle abroad is more about 1- getting out of an obnoxious
culture, 2- seeing the rest of the world, and 3- because I can live for about 1/4th the cost.

Cheers

People go to Asia because people can earn money as foreigners there. Many western companies pay
gold to make people go there and help them do business.

There aren't that many expats in Vietnam, Burma, North Korea or Mongolia either. But Dubai and
Cape Town are choking full of expats.

It's a money issue. Dubai has more expats per capita than Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong or Tokyo.
It's not even close.

Oh my god! Is she not the white girl doing 林娜 on the NPCR DVDs (my Chinese teacher forces us
to watch these every class!)... she looks very similar! I always thought she was dubbed!

Wow! I have the NPCR DVD, and I thought when I saw her I was trying to figure out if she was
dubbed or not :-) I thought, wow, if I can speak as well as that that will be good! (Especially
considering that I look Chinese, not American!).

My girlfriend said that she sounded like a foreigner Or at least that she had a detectable accent
on the NPCR DVDs. But she IS pretending to be an intermediate level student, so she is probably
speaking differently than she would in a normal situation (exaggerated tones, etc.)
