Shanghai China Snippets Observations about living in Shanghai and China in general

Love or Money

Filed under: China Culture — Shanghai @ 10:25 pm

An interesting choice. An English teacher in [tag]Chongqing[/tag] did a small experiment.

I presented two hypothetical envelopes to three of my girl students between 16 and 18 years old. One of the envelopes was labeled ‘love’, the other ‘money’. I asked the girls to pick one of the envelopes. Without doubt, all three of them chose the ‘money’ envelope, explaining that they couldn’t really trust love but that they could trust money.

I am pretty sure the outcome would have been the same in [tag]Shanghai[/tag].

If you want to know what the guys chose, go here
