OK thank you I always think maybe Taobao is cheaper than real shop .but now ,maybe I can find another way
taobao used to be a lot cheaper or should be cheapest in the world (too many prices war) till last two year, now it become one of the most expensive vape device selling in the market.
Heh. I’d love to go actually. I will likely never be able to afford it though. I suspect countries develop reputations for high wealth based on the foreign tourists who go there. Such people have the wealth for travel and wind up representing the country as a whole on the eyes of local residents. This is how movies like “crazy rich Asians” happen. The Asian tourists that visit America are often far wealthier than most local residents. I suspect the same is true of Americans visiting Asian countries.
Also true in America. Plus there is money and politics involved about who encourages the public to do what.
True for main city but there still plenty of small town village
True but China is so freaking huge and there a lot small village/town/worth visit, I spend few year there n love those honest, humble down to earth farmer....
I don't know the vape price but I think most things like cloth ,shoes in Taobao is cheaper than real shop
Travel housing in Beijing will be very expensive. but other consumption are similar to the United States. maybe cheaper.
Depends on what you buy I suspect. Both videographers were expats. One from South Africa, one from England. I hear parking is New York level expensive but the subway is fantastic. It’s also I understand possible to own a motorcycle there which is not possible in many other parts of China. The guys doing the videos were living there though. The impression I got was it was a lot like living in New York or Paris or Berlin or Tokyo or any other given Capital city of a major nation really as far as relative costs and available amenities went. Some stuff is often cheaper and some stuff is more expensive but it comes out about the same wherever you go. Different cities have different issues. Me I live in the twin cities in Minnesota. A lot smaller than Beijing. Maybe equivalent to a tier 2 or a tier 3 city. Public transportation is a lot worse but it’s easier to park. And of course we get truly awful weather in the winter. I spent the better part of a week frantically moving snow and carrying hundreds of kilos of salt up onto my roof to keep it from being destroyed. I won but my back lost. I need to go someplace warmer. I’m too old for this.
try thailand chiang rai (thai North), i see more white than local there
