My parents have hinted at moving to Hong Kong as my dad's in love with the place. I think it would be post retirement plans though as currently they're both still working. Would be great if they did though. Mainland China I'm not too sure, though my uncle (who is a quantity surveyor) was thinking of relocating to China at one point for work reasons, given the recent construction boom and all.

Somewhat nervous, especially considering I buried them both over 5 years ago. 

Have they spent time in China?

My parents came to visit me in Asia a few times: always they ended with "look, the holiday's been great, but do you really want to live here? If it's money we can help..." Eventually, they accepted that in spite of all logic, some of us do love living in Asia.

The moral of the story is: don't let them move to Asia. Extended holidays, yes, move, no. 

My parents never want to even visit Asia. They're moving to Florida after my dad retires. Even if they wanted to, I would tell them not to. 

My Mom has threatened that she'll "get her passport" (yes, typical passport-less Americans ) and come visit me, as apparently I don't visit them often enough.  I'm guessing she'd drag dear old Dad along as well.  Seeing how they live in a small mountain town of about 3000 people....I just don't see how'd they make it here.

My Dad couldn't last 5 minutes in this city.  He would complain endlessly about how dirty the bathrooms are, the unsanitary restaurants and street vendors (and would be quite upset when he realzies they won't get him a discount on his bill or free food for making him wait so long), he would want to kick all the beggars blocking your way from the subway, would chase after a girl in a mini-skirt, and would absolutely have a distaste for a lack of good cheap pizza, no dryer or dishwasher and many other things.  Not to worry about my Dad coming here, he's pretty sure I live in a 3rd world country with a dirt floor and mud for walls.

My Mom would visit, but live here?  Nah, no way.  Plus I have 3 brothers back in the hometown to keep her comfortable.

I would support the idea, but I doubt they would want to live here. As Dandmcd's old man, mine would complain endlessly about everything, except the length of womens skirts. My mum would miss anything relating to the food back home, from growing stuff herself to being able to buy good quality food everywhere. 

My parents are close to retiring and I certainly wouldn't mind if they come for frequent visits. I would even find an apartment they could rent so I wouldn't have to have all my snacks and coffee "burglarized" by my dad.
