That's interesting. Would you mind going into specifics? Are you American? How long have you been there, and what are the main challenges? I see you're in Beijing. I lived in Kunming, and it did seem like a pretty appropriate place for having a family. Are you concerned about the pollution levels? What kind of school do you send your kids to, if any?
I'm French, have been in China for more than 10 years, my wife is Chinese, kids go to French school. People over-react to pollution in Beijing: it is only 2/3 days a month and still way below levels of most other capitals in SE Asia. And as the air is very dry, the impact on the lungs is not what it would be in a more humid place, dixit two physicians.
There are downsides obviously, but food, safety, and housekeeping help are on the upside, especially with kids.
