Yes, Chinese is super super easy to learn and you will probably become fluent rather quickly without ANY trouble. All tonal languages are easy to learn, that's a fact I think. Most people who teach english don't stay in one country for their whole careers and statistically speaking, the more people that are foreign the more likely you are to meet at least one person who is not a "dick-head," whereas if you go to a city with 12 foreign people, the chances aren't in your favor. Its just common sense.
