Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

That’s absolutely insane! I cannot imagine living like that.

Lucky you got to choose to continue in the company abroad.

Your comment maybe adds to my reasoning of why I love China and east Asia but don’t want to live in China. Still aiming for Japan.

Yeah I wouldn't want to live here again anymore, it's not fun long term. I could imagine Taiwan on the other hand side, it's pretty awesome. Though I could imagine the constant threat from China looming over you isn't particularly nice.

Japan is also lovely, friend of mine just moved over last year. He married a Japanese woman he met in China though, that made it rather easy.

Personally I would consider Vietnam or Thailand and maybe Philippines long term (especially after retirement), mid term we are headed for Scandinavia first.
