I like living in China and traveling around. Everyone I met in Los Angeles, USA told me that with my two master's degrees, I could teach English and live quite comfortably. Not so! I found out quickly that at 65 yrs old (good health, I might add) I am deemed too old to work here. And yes, I have trouble renewing my visa all the time, expensive and a bother. When I go home to the USA, I have culture shock and want to go back to China right away. I live simply here, doing artwork, writing stuff, taking online courses and doing a great deal of reading. And yes, I try to learn Mandarin.
