I was going to ask about the T-Rex, actually. I remember reading a few years ago that they thought it might have been primarily a scavenger due to it's incredibly large scent organ (forgot what the name for it was). You said it was both, was it primarily a scavenger or did it have to hunt fairly often? What was it's preferred prey to hunt and what the hell did it every do with such tiny, tiny arms?

If I had a nickel for every time I've said "Yi ge jiga"...

Are you like me and if you don't understand but know a question has been asked you simply nod your head and go "Dui dui dui"?

What's the pay like? How about compared to the cost of living? How much have you been able to save? I'm at a language school right now but considering an international school once I get an education degree.

To add, China has more renewable energy resources than any other country, and are continuing to add more. Their goal has always been coal first to get the economy and production going, then switch to renewable or clean energy. This is how every industrialized nation has started, but China has the benefit of learning from the mistakes of other former production powerhouses (see: United States) and started putting in renewable and clean energy infrastructure in right away. But since it takes longer (and more money) to build they are exploiting the coal first.

The air gets a bad rap because all the press goes to Beijing, where the air is admittedly terrible. But it would be like saying all of America's air is the same quality as Los Angeles. I currently live in the northeast and, like Shanghai, the air is good, especially compared to Beijing. There are some bad days but that's why I have a mask.

Edit: Too/to

Totally agree. All my friends in the States with education degrees are stuck substitute teaching at best right now. And the horror stories I hear about administration and awful parents... I'm still trying to convince most of them to come overseas.
