| Getting A Little Personal |
| I work in an office with mostly female bosses and co-workers, so when there's not much going on, things tend to degenerate into 2nd-grade schoolgirl antics (despite the fact that, at 21, I'm the youngest person here). I'd noticed that three of the "girls" were sitting at the computer, reading and laughing. So, naturally, I wanted to know what was going on. It turns out they were reading personal ads posted looking for Chinese women both from within and without China. After reading some of them myself, I find themamazing in their range from the profound to the plain ridiculous. It spans the whole human spectrum. From men who just want to be paid for marrying a girl in return for a U.S. visa, to men who are truly seeking soul mates - and everything in between. It's phenomenal. If you're ever bored or need a pick-me-up, I highly recommend reading the personals on Thatsbj.com, Cityweekend.com.cn, and Craigslist - China (among others). It's sure to provide twice the cross-cultural entertainment of your run-of-the-mill singles classifieds ad with half the fat! |

| In China, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important groups. The Chinese, who call this land "home," and the expats who migrate here. My name is Rachel. I am an expat. These are my stories. |
