I'm also curious to see China...

There you are sipping tea on fine china and Betty comes in and asks, "Did you come with champagne and contracts in your car?"  

I graduated college in 2012 (dual degree Pre-Law and Africana Studies; completed in 3 years 2009-12) and for the last two years I have been teaching English in Asia, last year was Beijing, China and currently Seoul, South Korea.  

Right now I'm constantly traveling between PR, China, and Japan; hence the title. 

Upcoming changes in China's taxation policy also has a lot of chinese/american investors buying up multifamilies as a way to avoid cap gains taxes.That being said the good deals are still there they just don't last long and seeing multiple offers is becoming commonplace.As a licensed agent in the area I would be happy to set you up with MLS access so you can see whats available and get an idea of market values.  

If the value of the items they are claiming are significantly high like their grandmothers turn of the century china collection valued at $20,000 I would tell them to get lost.

Note that everything is fair game if you leave it accessible - Fine china, memorabilia,  heirlooms, even your favorite ice cream or personal hygiene items (your shampoos, hair products, brushes, etc are fair game if they are not locked away in the house, Replace them and hide away the stuff you wouldn't want to be used by someone else or broken.7.Make sure you have somewhere to go on short notice and for days at a time.

I have also taken cruises to Alaska, Mexico and a cruise on the Yellow River in China.

I have experience working with foreign buyer from China, Russia, and Israel. 

On the other end of the spectrum, we have areas where there is strong union participation, and wages are unsustainable, and totally ridiculous, causing our manufacturing sector to flee to China.
