translation.en: And quite soon after I moved there, I ended up where I still am with my wife, formerly our kids, in a two-room apartment in the middle of nowhere where we have no bicycle, no car, no TV I can understand, and I still have to support my loved ones as a travel writer and a journalist, so clearly this is not ideal for job advancement or for cultural excitement or for social diversion.
translation.zh: 就在我搬到那儿不久， 我与现在的妻儿， 挤在一个有两间房的公寓里， 在一个不毛之地， 我们没有自行车，没有车， 没有可以理解的电视节目， 我还得以作家和记者的身份， 抚养我的至亲家人， 因此很明显地，这对职业生涯， 对文化探索， 或对体验社会文化纷繁来说， 都不是一个理想的规划。
