I like the street food and the mon & pop noodle shops too. Bring me a bag o noodles now, Pete! I'm Ready!! I love the noodles there, the closest I have found to them in freshness and taste is a brand called Azumaya. They are sold in the cooler sections near the vegy areas in food stores in the states. Very good noodles. I did not like the thin noodles from them, the wide cut is very good. I will take a bag of chinese noodles from the streets too if you are bringin them.

I know what you mean by the street food is good. I ate everything and anything while in china last month. Loved it all. The stranger it looked in a pot the better it seemed to taste. Funny how that is. I did not know what I ate wether it be insides, bugs, or what ever. I relied on my fiance to pick a vendor she was okay with and ate whatever there was. Chinese food in america is not my version of chinese food. The street vendors are for sure the way to go when hungry in china. And the cost is so little it is amazing what you can eat for dollar wise for a whole day. One of my favorites while I was there is a batter that is spread very thin, an egg then cracked and spread very thin over that, and vegies diced very very small and some sort of meat product also. I am not sure of the meat source but I have a cast iron stomache and can eat anything so what the He@#@, I loved that dish.

You had the same kinds of feelings about China that many of us did on our first excursion to the motherland...It's always great to read posts like this and get that fresh feeling back again... xie xie Glad I could help you remember the excitement of the first trip for you and others. I really did enjoy the trip and would suggest that every USA citizen try to experience it at least once in their lifetime. They will be more for doing so.

Your posting is interesting to read, and my husband and I are thinking of doing the same. In my opinion, if you have any bills to pay in USA, then it will be hurt moving to China. The best idea is sell everything , bills free. If you have a house in USA, sell it or rent it. As for jobs in China, it will be very easy to find one. I dont know what you can do, but the bottom line is you can always teach English. You get decent paid and you will live a decent life in China. Instead of renting a flat, you can buy a nice house. I dont know the price of house in Wuhan, but it will not be expensive. Good luck to you and hope to hear more stories from you. I am told that in Wuhan living expenses and wages are about 1/2 of what they are in HK or Beijing areas. Thanks for the input, it helps to ease my mind for a move if that is to happen.

All of you, email me when you need flight tickets, hotels, cars rentals, etc. next time. I will do my best to get you going and for the cheap. I know how it is to fly to asia since my fiance is over there too. I own a travel agency and will help all of you out.

I just returned from wuhan china and was very impressed with the peoples in that city. I was under the assumption that I would feel afraid of walking down the streets, being told "go home back to USA" by everyone, feeling I did not belong, and/or just not feel comfortable at all about being in a communistic run country. Boy oh boy was I wrong about them all. I loved it there. The people, yes, stared or looked at me (it seems everyone of them) but they were all as nice as could be or acted as though they did not even care that an American was walking among them. I was impressed at the amount of people in business. Young people had stores selling items everywhere. Shopping was fun, and different. They do not have shopping malls as we know them. Stalls, small glass divider rooms on a floor of a building along with 100 or so other small glass divider rooms. Street vendors selling everything and anything you can eat or wear or use in one way or another. It was great. This was my first time in China ever. I met my girlfriend, fiance and confirmed that we were for sure in love and would marry. I spent 10 days there and with her and we did anything and everything. We visited her family, had dinner with friends, went to see where her parents worked ( the yellow crane tower), ate foods that would never be allowed to be sold on a plate in the USA, window shopped, walked along the Yangtze river at noght and day, looked at people walk by on the crowded streets, etc, etc, etc. I tell you, I hated to leave and come back to the USA. Not only because I would miss her and she also did not want for me to leave, but because the hustle and bustle of that city is something you never see in the states anywhere. Yes, the air there is so thick that you can hold it in you hand, and you choke on it everyday, but it was a great time ! Anyway, onto my real meaning of this response. I feel for you in being able to live in China. I think that it would be a great adventure and is definitely something that you will remember forever. I have thought of a move to live there myself. My fiance is very afraid to come to the USA because of her negative feelings of learning the language efficient enough to feel comfortable. I on the other hand can and have been learning the Chinese language very good and very quickly. So, I have had the thought of a move for myself to China. My only problem is the money there is very little and how to find a good paying job. One always has bills to pay and if you are only making 1/4 of the amount you wold be making in the USA how do you pay bills and live in another country with that ? Any suggestions ? I know that I can pay off all bills her before going and sell the house and that would go pretty far in China for living on, but I want to live nice there not in a minimal apartment style house in a run down area. Anyway, good luck to you and I hope you have fun there.
