RE: Who the hell wants to live in a sh*thole like China or Brazil?
Believe me, there are many great cities in China that are just as modern and perhaps even cleaner than New York, Los Angeles or San Francisco.
Let’s set aside Beijing and Shanghai. I can think of two great cities -— HangZhou (3 hours from Shanghai ) and Xiamen ( one of the coastal cities of Southern China that’s not far from Hongkong and Taiwan ).
I can’t speak for Brazil as I’ve never been there.
Been to both of them and heartedly concur. I could happily live in either. Relatively inexpensive, really pretty, wide streets, outdoor cafes, lots of happy people, and all the benefits you would expect like high speed internet and good transportation.
