      That’s interesting, what was Mongolia like and were you there for specific work opportunities or just because you liked moving around?

      Edit: hang on… North Korea…

      I have a mongolian friend, he said it was a choice between a dystopian city or the vast empty nature. I guess if you like nature it could be good but the density is sooooo low there are places where you wont see civilization for hundreds of kilometers.

      I’m ethnically Chinese but never been there, well only the airport … but why’s it suck so much?

      I know people that wanna go back due to cost of living but I heard housing isn’t cheap neither (depending on where you live perhaps?)

        It doesn’t.

        Housing is extremely affordable compared to here in the U.S. So is food, transportation and healthcare.

        I highly recommend Kunming

          I’m definitely going to visit next year … just putting away money for now. I’ll see if I can add Kunming to the list, thanks!

          I can’t wait to eat more food. My Cantonese is “okay” but my Mandarin is garbage … I’m gonna spend the next year or so watching dramas and stuff to catch up!

      Wait, Mongolia will think I’m cool because I’m 300 lbs? Dope.

      I’m going to head there rn and fucking lift the front end of some vehicles and stuff.
