There are places that are like Walmart but sell fruits on a premium like a five dollar banana.

Culture wise is a very beautiful country, very diverse, has tons of outdoor activities to do and it is conveniently located almost in the middle of everything. In the past few months I have been to Australia, China, and a few other places sorely on my own budget and by utilizing excellent opportunities in cheap airfare.
Thanks dux. Japan probably wasn't going to be a thing for me. Dads done some Asia business and said Japan was expensive as shit.

I can work remotely, but also have ways of making a legal living locally if push came to shove.

Buddy was in Shanghai for a year to teach English. He came back a little shell shocked, but another buddy did the same thing, met a chick and stayed.

Shanghai sounds awesome. Hear it's a beast of a city.

Right now thinking either S. Korea, Thailand, Vietnam or Shanghai. Beijing could be interesting.

I've worked and saved, and want to spend some time abroad before I knock up some broad and start drinking, smoking and building my stable on my path to being Andy35.

PM me if you're interested or needing more details to offer what I am sure is a well meaning and informative opinion.
