[quote=APAULT,228446]OK, LP I will visit you!! But seriously, as a teacher in China, I am not a guest, I am a colleague, and as I have a resident permit I am a temporary Chinese. Also, if my Chinese freinds paid for me all the time, or even in equal turns it would reduce the number of times we go out - I would not be able to ask my colleagues out very often as I know the cost to them is a much greater part of their income. I was very happy to take my teacher colleagues out to dinner once a week, they 'paid' their turn by looking after me whenever I had a difficulty. Although we are in China and should mostly follow Chinese custom we must sometimes merge customs for practical reasons - where there are big salary differences there is a good reason to do this.[/quote]
