"After all, what kind of girl can you hope to find in this mixed-up country? Clever girls are too busy opening restaurants and trying to make money. University graduates expect their men to be like the heroes in romantic novels who explore the wilds of tibet. All the nice girls are in the countryside, but when they move to the cities they are too preoccupied with the cosmetics countrers to have any time for you."
