If your salary was about the same in the US vs China in comparison to the cost of living, where would you live? Why? This is the position I basically find myself in... In other words I got relatively good paying job opportunities in both areas. Sales in the US vs teaching in China


That is a difficult decision.

Living in America is typically having two to three jobs to get by. You got to love the good old USA. I was an ESL teacher in Asia for six years.

Definitely, the USA. Why, so I can get fast (uncensored) internet and better food.

So people don't look at me and point their fingers because I'm a foreigner.

So strangers don't call me fat to my face.

So I don't have to see babies shit in the streets.

So I don't have to do a mountain of paperwork and stress out over visas.

So I can watch baseball and football instead of badminton and soccer.


I currently live in the United States, but some days I dream of the good old days in Asia. Maybe, I am just getting old.
