Guest Tony n Terrific Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) 2. You've stated that "Nanning" is a good locality (not sure what this means -- as it is basically a humid "shit hole", similar to Hanoi). That aside you also state that you have plenty of money to live in China. If you have significant amounts of savings and investment - in addition to your military pension and social security, both indexed for inflation - you might have enough money to live in China - with a modicum of Western Style comforts. (AC, Hot water, Soft Bed, Clean building, No bugs, no shit or garbarge at your doorway). When I lived in China it cost me between $3K-$4K USD a month to live - and my house was FREE - owned by my wife. Albeit, we lived like westerners and not like I did when I was young and naieve and dug into Khe Sanh red dirt....trying to not step on or dig up the land mines the less than bright Marines had left "Unmarked, Unmapped, and Unreported". My wife is from Guilin Essentially the same climate is Nanning! I have been there in July, Yep! HUMID!!! Step ouside and within 5 minutes and the shirt is soaked through. Scenery is great other that the humidity!The weather there is much like New Orleans, Charleston, SC or Houston. Less the Fire Ants.

Randy W Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 About spending $3,000 to $4,000 a month: I don't understand how you could spend that amount of money in China, especially when housing is covered. What did you buy? You realize that most Chinese live on a small fraction of that? Am I naive?Perhaps they meant Ôª 3,000 to Ôª 4,000 per month. $4,000 to $5,000 per month BEFORE TAX is what I make here in the USA and can get by on that. $3K - $4K per month in China and you can live like a King. There's a reason why he calls himself Mr. 2mercedes. Link to comment

It is also a fact that I have 2 MB's, of which I would be happy to give the new one to anyone who can find the second battery that is supposedly remote from the engine compartment. LOL, I don't think so...it may be these types of digs that get some feathers ruffled, but it's only a guess. Link to comment

The SECOND battery would go in the remote control http://www.liveandlearn.com/rc/silversl500.html just kidding, mike, but I would imagine a second battery would be for the alarm system and relatively inaccessible Edited May 30, 2010 by Randy W (see edit history) Link to comment
