Hi All !!

Hope you have been reading and enjoying my blogs !! I do love writing , so i wouldn't want all this to go to a waste !!

Well this blog is about my hubbies work situation here in Beijing !! This sucks ......he is a qualified massage therapist ( has the papers and everything) and  is experienced in Chinese therapy called Cupping!! Well for him to find a decent job is really hard reasons being : the hours are really long ( all places are 12 hour shifts) , the money is terrible and working conditions suck !

I personally DON'T want him working , I am a qualified English teacher here in China and I make alot of money , so when i come home from a long day at work i want my hubby there to greet me with open arms , dinner cooked followed by a foot massage ( by the way , when he was unemployed that is what i came home too)!!! Keep in mind the currency exchange here : 1 Canadian dollar is equal to 7 RMB( yuan)  ........so he is now working at a spa , there are ten other workers and they all take turns! A person would get the full body treatment including a facial etc .....THEY would pay the BOSS over 300 yuan and my hubby would get a MEASLY 20 yuan for working his ass off making sure THEY are comfortable ! Like please ....what the hell can you do with 20 yuan in Beijing ! That is nothing , I get that just walking through the door of my classroom !!! Not to mention that is all he could make in a 12 hour shift ! I don't have alot of free time as I now have a GREAT paying full time job and 2 part time jobs ! We plan to save as much as we can and open our own business in Canada ! BUT ....when i do have free time , i would like to spend it with my husband .....BUT OH NO .....his boss has taken care of that by using him ! They even have to pay for food and allowed no visitors !! I hate this and i have no control over it as my hubby says ..."I am the man and I should be taking care of my wife " ..... i see his point but for that little money it's not worth it ! I'm staying in this nasty country for HIM .......oh yah ...to never see him !!! : (

Yes, I love reading your blog and I'm not the only one. The thing is that if people comment on your blog and after about 2-3 comments you don't visit their blog and comment on it or reply to their comments, people tend to leave you alone, thinking that you just want to blog and keep to yourself. Just a suggestion!
