Q: What are your choices?
Living in the city and easy to get to those fun places or move to the suburb but pays less rent? Assume you are in Shanghai.
Im not a city person.
For me a villa on top of a mountain would be fine .
and only go to town about twice a year .
Shamghai is a rat race and not living.
In a city of that size there are several CBDs and life out of the stereotypucal hub offers much more than being penniless in a tiny box just because you think that shithole is the centre of the universe.
Shanghai has 2 main attributes: Zhuangbility and Shability
Chinese cities may be fun, exciting, etc for Chinese...but as a foreigner I find them mediocre at best. Why this is the case is due to a culmination of factors, to include, but not limited to: extremely crowded, vary degrees of xenophobia of mainlanders, pseudo "window dressing" of places that may look and appear appealing, but turn out to be a disturbing disappointment
(e.g. the "european street" area in optics valley square in Wuhan looks fairly european styled, but has no shops or restaurants, products, etc. to make it worthwhile to enjoy oneself).
there are other factors, but you get the idea...
