		<description>So true... you get it even if you have just studied there for a few months. I found your post very funny and enlightening to know that there are many others out there with SRS. LOL</description>

		<description>Great post!! sorta old hat for me having lived in Taiwan, HK and China now for 26 years :O  now my kids are coming &quot;home&quot; to China from college for Christmas and can&#039;t wait (daughter will check in, hi mom hi dad.. am off to Sanlitun to see my pals, don&#039;t wait up!).  Going back in January will be so painful for them. Chinglish doesn&#039;t work in the US.. people just start looking at you all mystified.

and dudes, I am not cured of SRS at 52, and I don&#039;t drink scotch, being more the doobie generation type.I just don&#039;t really plan on ever leaving (ack)</description>

		<description>Awesome post. I&#039;ve eight days to find a SRS cure before I head home and begin the &quot;in China&quot; banter. My family fears it. My friends fear it. I fear it.

If it gets too bad I&#039;ll just run out into a snowbank and scream random Chinese curses.</description>

		<description>The cure is becoming a jaded, worldy 50-year-old who drinks scotch and hangs out in explorer bars. Oh, that the 1920&#039;s were alive again.</description>

		<description>I think SRS gets worse the longer you stay =)

What is the cure, anyway?  Cause someday we&#039;re all (except for John over at Sinosplice) leaving this place.</description>

		<description>Your forum post is so utterly true it hurts. And to think, I signed up for this of my own free will. 

Well, here&#039;s to a permanent case of SRS.
