It's because of our fucking textbooks; they were designed by the most prestigious and populous mandarin school in the country (which also happens to be the school I'm going to), but a long-ass time ago and shittily. It's also the textbook used at almost every other language school in the country.
It ONLY provides explanatory text in English. Literally, the thing could be an American textbook and I'd never notice the difference. Compare to textbooks I had in Japan which provided English, Chinese, and Korean glosses; if not Thai, Vietnamese, and other shit I don't even recognize. Frankly, there's more people here speaking Japanese than English (that's not just my circle of friends, that's everyone talking in the hallway), it's appalling that their support for Japanese students is pretty much limited to "make friends with someone who speaks Japanese".
On the other hand, this works incredibly well for me, and I'm a native speaker of English so I'm just going to be over here not giving much of a fuck.

I feel your pain as well.
Family outing to a lake this past saturday; I have an allergy to the sun, but can work around it (as I like being at the beach, pool, etc). So, after getting around that, I spend hours in the lake with my kids (and keep sunscreen on); still ended up with 2nd degree sunburn on my shoulders. My kids got tanned.
Well, the blisters started popping. It's gnarly. Disgusting in a cool way.

How to troll family and friends using Google+
Step 1) Randomly divide everyone you know into two separate circles.
Step 2) Post to circle 1 that you just got a new job
Step 3) Post to circle 2 that you've just been told you have a fatal disease
Step 4) Post to your extended circles that "Tomorrow is my last day"
Step 5) Sit back and watch the comments battle between the two circles.
