2) It's false to say home construction is cheaper in the US. California has the most Mexican workers and yet it's the most expensive real estate market for both lots and construction.

) ?- F6 R- H4 Vwere you working less than 40 hours a week and not having much stressthen ? if yes you lucky guy and you should not have come. for your kids, you can send them to those nice public schools. at least i know in beijing, a lot of nice schools they don't have much homework for kids any more. and if your kids are good enough they can get into those top universities with top major. after that they can easily get into top jobs, $wise much better than here. the only thing is if long work hours and stress is an issue for the family...

在中国，我加班一般在饭桌上，比现在在加拿大当然多一些，说到真正干活，,不过也就是一个月两三次这样的水平。我是少数后悔来加拿大的人之一，因为来了以后，我才对社会和人生有更多的思考，才发现以前是在剥削人，现在是在被剥削。$ W) B" X B% b( e
