Rayvin 5223 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Just now, Park Life said: German is 10 times harder than French. But in all reality the French are cunts to a man. I've lived and worked in both and strongly would recommend Germany.......Think the beer nails it. I'm pretty good with language learning - with 5 years, I'm actually factoring in twice as much time as it took for me to become fluent in Chinese Hopefully it's enough! Agreed on the beer - genuinely think I'd enjoy living out there. The publishing scene there is fairly strong too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I would have, but with the Chinese government cracking down on it, I'm becoming less keen. If the opportunity had come up in my 20s I would have, but quality of life is more important now. And China has very little of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 plus you'd have to spend about £2m for a studio apartment on the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because in my late teens, early 20s, I actually did want to live in China. I've not actively studied it since then. 6 minutes ago, Dr Gloom said: plus you'd have to spend about £2m for a studio apartment on the island. Yep, it's crazy expensive.

So I was with a lot of people who thought the same way tbf. The year in China was good, but also showed me that living there long term wasn't something to aspire to.
