Hi again,
I'm glad all goes well with you. Life here has been difficult for me, to say the least. I was working without a contract in Guangzhou while waiting for something better to come along and while the school was waiting for qualified teachers to come. I just found out two days ago that I had no job and no home and had to find both damn quick! I just landed a job, no problem although it's not the ideal pay, but it's an income and the potential is there to earn. They'll also pay an allowance towards accommodation which is good because it allows "she who must be obeyed" to find a home in the part of Guangzhou that she likes.
Now, back to the subject of the thread: yeah, I know that if someone is motivated enough, they're not gonna care whether or not they're legal. I have this deep abiding fear that if someone gets caught, that they'll be incarcerated in horrific conditions etc and treated so badly that it could be life threatening. Maybe this won't happen, maybe it will. If it does, obviously, they have nobody to blame but themselves for making the decision they did. If they don't get caught, then they'd always have to be constantly looking over their shoulder and that's enough for me to want to keep things on the up and up.
