Quoting from [kevin19850924]:
For French man, they find themselves more acceptable by the local than the Korean. There are always overflowing baggages, such as historical feeling about a nation, for example the Japanese for their past invasion of China and the war atrocities. However, the Japanes can communicate with the local better than the Korean, because of their writing in Kanji. Most younger Koreans cannot communicate in other language other than the Hangu. The Chinese is not so comfortable with the Koreans as the past Korean war haunts them.
I find the cost of living higher, and more expensive in South Korea, than in China, but in Shanghai, it is expensive. Food is more acceptable to a foreigner in China, as there are many restaurants to cater for the Foreign foods. The Koreans are less adaptable to foreigners living there, but are also food chains like Pieza Hut, and Wendy in Korea, however they are fewer than the Chinese capital cities.
StreetI am a Chinese and have been living in Shanghai for almost two yeats. I agreen with you about what you said about China and Chinese mostly. But I do not agree with why a French is more acceptable than Janpnese or Korean. If you say the korean war haunts us , the Janese invasion haunts us much more. In fact, we are not haunted much by the korea war . Many Chinese do not like Janpanese is because of their Invasion to china and they do not admit it. We do not like Koreans is because of some Koreans are cheeky and arrogent and said most of our territory belongs to korean and most of the Acient Chinese invention were made by them . I do not know why some Koreans feel fearful about Chinese fast development, but they do.As an American Engineer living in China over 4 years now, I find it nice if you are here for non-technical work. I find the people here in general are very kind (at least to your face). They do often try to make foreigners feel welcomed. But working in a technical enviroment is extremely difficult. Most locals will brag about how China is developing. It is true, they have made great progress in the past 20 years. But their obsession over money reflects a lack of development. We offered FREE technical knowledge to many factories, knowledge which could have helped them develop quickly. ALL rejected the offers with replies ranging from "This is no easy" to "it will cost money and maybe some risk" Trying to build 1 prototype product has proven nearly impossible here due to the fact that every factory wants to mass produce. They are unable to see the advantages of gaining new knowledge in the Research and Development stages. Yes, I like China and its people on a personal level. But in the professional level, Korea and Japan are much more accepting of new knowledge. Business' here need to learn to take some minor risk in order to develop with todays fast pace tech trend.
I always tell my friends tocome visit China with their families, it's a great place.!!

I think it is nice to live in China, as the wether is not bad and the food is delicious. Oh still many others make me like China.

Different people may have different opinions and experiences about living in China. For some its hard coz they have never been used to live in different conditions. For some its easy to adjust themselves in new conditions.
As far as this country concerns, Im living in China since 2004 and I have had many good and bad experiences. Ofcourse money is another very important factor. China is a nice country to live if you have nice and friendly people around you, you are doing business or job or whatever which is paying you back enough or better than others, and as long as you are living a peaceful and trouble free life. For many foreigners doing business it might be a headache doing things in their own way as many rules and laws in china are quiet differnet from other countries.
Overall, i have no complains. I am fine here in China. :)
Quoting from [Mr Tann]:With enough money, China is a nice place.
Without money in your pocket, you will find it is hard, not only in China, but also in everywhere.
