Moving to China

[nasti]

Im going to move to china if there is a ban on ecigs.

a place where living expenses are cheap. free trade, capital markets and the freedom to vape.

Hell, everything i wear, buy, live in (other than the house itself) is already made in China. why not?

They have fresh foods, nice ladies (trust me), and beautiful scenery not yet ruined by industry.

All ill need is a job.... maybe ill teach engrish.

 

[BardicDruid]

Now that sounds like a plan.

 

[aschmidy]

Just don't move to Hong Kong. I think ecigs are banned there!

 

[P3rplexity]

Some places in China look like nuclear swamps, might wanna do a bit of research before jumping in on that....

And China is just as industrialized as America mate, you said it yourself, they make everything, of course they are industrialized..

 

[nasti]

yeah i was being somewhat sarcastic.... but ill play along...

I do not contest that industrializing china has probably wiped out all wildlife in existence in the nearby areas... but its pretty unfair to categorize the whole country based on those images.

I like travelling. I saw big differences between new jersey and... lets say florida. both very different regions, different feel and definately diff lifestyles.

but to sing the same song, I was afraid to visit the south. sorry to all the southerners... tv conveys a certain image... and i dont know anyone from there first hand to know better...


while im sharing,
washington cracks me up!... while visiting the whitehouse, I was indulged by the majestic beauty of the buildings. the landscape of the town was designed in a very unique way...
while driving, I got lost... and the nicest guy gave us directions. Im terrible with directions and no GPS at the time but the fellow took his time to make sure I knew where I was going! (you dont get that in NY)
anyway, as I was driving off, something just clicked - it was the first time i saw a black guy. when i got back to the whitehouse area, all white guys in suites....

anyway... not making a racist point. just interesting I found.
I was just passing by so i dunno what i experienced was just in my head or is there some sort of segregation in this city?

before i tell anyone else i know, id like to get some sort of clarification from locals....

but the fellow took his time to make sure I knew where I was going! (you dont get that in NY)

I'm sure your talking of NY city the rest of the state in not like that. If the world needed an enema NYC would get the tube for sure.

 

[Vapinginjapan]

Wouldn't mexico fulfill all of the above criteria?

 

[uzzaperez]

Yeah. China. Freedom capital of the world. Enjoy your freedom to vape and play with lead painted toys.

 

[jaded]

Wouldn't mexico fulfill all of the above criteria?

I think I saw a thread where mexico had banned them also.

 

[eric]

Yeah, there's bad.

But there's also plenty of good.

Oh, and...

They have pandas!


China is enormous. I would definitely be willing to live there for at least a small fraction of my life. 1-3 years, no problemo.

 

[beast775]

they cant ban the use,just importing exporting.the word cigarette is causing a common law status.if you said where in china i would give advise.do you speak chinese?i do but probably sound like a 5 year old.quite a difficult language for me anyways.vietnamese was easier for me.but i only know basics really.its like learning math most humans live at a grade 5 in math,learning advanced math does the same thing in language circles.i know a person who knows 47 languages reading writing speaking.it makes me feel really dumb.haha.good luck in china.

 

[mn shutterbug]

Yeah. China. Freedom capital of the world. Enjoy your freedom to vape and play with lead painted toys.

And work for $2 per day.

And eat domestic cats for lunch. 8-o

Dude, they have a communist system. I would look into this a bit more before volunteering yourself into bondage.

Hey, whatever pays the bills

Dude, that's insane. what or how can a person be motivated to speak so many languages?
with that said, this person is my hero.... he/she must have such an open mind about people in this world and their cultures because language shapes a persons thoughts.


And I had plans to open up shop to teach engrish to the chilren... or teach chinee to white westerners. which ever is cheaper

 

[Col. Gaunt]

What about moving to India and vaping with the Dalai Lama while getting enlightened?

 

[sheep]

Dude, they have a communist system. I would look into this a bit more before volunteering yourself into bondage.

You can volunteer for this? I normally pay $250 an hour!!!

Nice avatar steve4611, there's a lot of subtle (or not so subtle?) truth in that image.

I don't buy the claim that a person has any appreciable proficiency in 47 different languages. He's be 47 years old assuming the rather unrealistic rate of one a year since birth. It's simply not plausible.

Also, the research shows that language does not shape thoughts or reality perception. For example, I speak Japanese, which really doesn't have a word for "blue", yet we perceive it and think of it just the same as an English speaker or anyone else.

 

[Elapid]

I had a professor in college that spoke something like 9 languages, he said that after the first three or four you can pick up another language rather quickly if they all have a Latin base, ie. all European and most others with the exception of the Oriental and Arabic languages.
