The living expense is much cheaper in China than in the USA. People are paid less but only when you compare it side to side with the us. In China, one “dollar” is worth a lot more because of the economic value

This is one of the things I miss most about China. The food there is so great. Even living as a middle class family in a huge crowded city like Shanghai, we used to get all our groceries from what were basically farmers markets. Everything was home grown and fresh. So much healthier! All the produce from grocery stores in America is bland and there is no variety. My diet is so boring now :(
