“You’re going to China? How brave of you! But aren’t you going to miss all the comforts of home?” For anyone to have made the so-called brave and daring decision to live in Asia, this may sound like an all-too-familiar refrain. There’s no doubt that Asia is a different world from the States, but the popular American perception of life abroad in Asia could not be further from the truth. Cities across Asia like Seoul, Hong Kong, Shanghai and nowadays even Beijing put their western counterparts to shame. Far from “going without”, the meteoric economic rise of such cities has cultivated a culture of “indulging in”. If you think you’d be leaving behind the “comforts of home” in Middle America, think again – China’s new class of nouveau riche demand super cities to meet their expensive tastes and lifestyle choices. In fact, coming back to the States, you may find you’ve been spoiled abroad – in Asia, life is easier, and luxury is all around you.
