RE: RETURNING BACK TO CHINA! [TORONTO TO BEIJING]
Yeah, Canada felt a little boring at times because I was feeling settled in again. Not much changes there too. Fortunately, I didn't have any uninvited guests. My city flooded while I was gone and I was afraid that there would be damage to my apartment but alas, no issues.
I need to make it out to Japan or Taiwan this year!
Japan impressed me, mostly because they maintain everything so well.
In China, they build new infrastructure all the time, many buildings, bridges, trains etc. are less than 20 years old, more than that and it most likely needs replacement.
The downside to Japan is the cost of living, transportation, rent, insurance and taxes are quite the burden, most people make just enough to get by.
Higher living standards don't come cheap anywhere though.
Flooding shouldn't be a major issue if you're above ground level, perhaps some issues with utilities as anything electrical wont function in flooded conditions.
Basements, in most of N.A. are an absolute nightmare to deal with if they get flooded.
