We begin the final chapter of this book with a quote from Cheung, who is 48 years of age and who had arrived in the UK three years earlier. Cheung describes his experiences of working as an undocumented migrant in one of London's many Chinese restaurants. He had been a driver in China and had met people who had already migrated and who had encouraged him to do the same. He came on a tourist visa and was put in contact with a job agent to whom he paid £100, getting work almost immediately. He initially worked outside London in a restaurant, on a 12-hour day for 180 a week, including meals and accommodation. He says that he was treated badly because his employers knew he had no status. A restaurant customer, also from China, advised him to learn cooking skills and gradually he improved his earnings, eventually earning £1,200 a month. However, at the time of the interview he had injured his leg and was out of work. Although his networks have grown and have helped him to get work, he says that there are only a few people, all Chinese, whom he counts as friends and with whom he would socialise.
