  • It’s a very cool language. Its grammar is dead easy causing me to think it’s actually not that hard! :)

    China is also a very nice place. Two things from my latest visit that are new to me:

    One how much Chinese families put children before all else. I always knew this but didn’t experience it until I had my own. It’s so sweet how many random people are kind because you have a child. I rarely experience this in the US.

    Two how above and beyond family members go to treat you well. You want to do or consume anything, they treat you to it. Meals made for you. Clothes washed. You’re your parents, or parents in laws, child forever. In America, I find even with the sweetest parents a line is drawn after you turn 18. In China no task is too small for a Chinese parent to do. My love language is spoken but China makes me fully understand how much more meaningful action is. You can say anything but will you actually do anything at a minutes notice?

    Just thought I’d share some positive experiences I’ve had :)



  • For me I would stay with family and apply for a PR. For people in general it’s very easy to come over to work or study.

    I’ve dealt with US and Chinese immigration a lot recently and got to say Chinese immigration almost made me cry with how efficient and kind they were versus the US. US took years, hundreds of pages, thousands of dollars, and rude staff. Recently Chinese immigration interaction they only took three days and they called and fixed a mistake for us. They realized I could get a better visa than I applied for and did the paperwork and applied for me without an extra charge.










  • I’m comparing my options with the US, China, and Japan. All three have their issues but quality of life is much higher in the latter two.

    I would consider Italy to similarly have a much higher quality of life which is worth it with all politics aside.

    You comment about Italy having been fascist, and I would respond with no matter what you think about the political situation in China life is leagues above that in the US. Point being it would very much be worth it!
