      Damn.. I got married in Jilin, North China... Visited family in Kunming.. divorced a few years later.. I have a Japanese style robot toilet at my home in Aus (a long way from Preston UK where I grew up)... And the usual bum gun at my condo in Thailand... Enjoy the experience.... My after wedding meal was steamed whole frogs including the frogspawn, and deep fried chicken heads....

      That was how my dad met my mom in the 90s lolss, at least that was what my dad told me. According to him, my maternal grandpa(who was an East European immigrant), was been frequent in the cabinet/kitchenry biz with dad(who was a Chinese immigrant) in the nyc in 90s, mainly bc my dad often offered best price and done the best installation contracting works. From there, they became close business partners, then my dad met my mom, then there is me, lolss.

      Or it might be just actually be a culture thing, and him being a nice guy not overcharging visitors.
      Anyway, $3 for a taxi drive from airport to hotel, that takes 1hr 18 minutes, if I saw the phone screen correctly, is crazy cheap.
      P.S. I checked and salaries seem to start at around 10k CNY a month which is a $1400 per month before tax (and the tax is progressive, so you only pay 10% income tax). You definitely can't make that if you charge $3 per hour of driving.

    tip in china - don't tip. people don't expect it and some may be insulted by it especially if they are visibly older than you. chinese do not typically give or take gifts from strangers. this is more the case with cash because it can be taken as a handout. if someone invited you to their home for dinner or similar, you can give them a gift like some fruit basket, alcohol, etc but not cash. if you really want to express gratitude, learn a few phrases and compliments and everyone will be happy 😄

      Tipping is not offensive it’s just not expected nor sought after, it is polite to refuse but as the tipper you should insist and they will take it with gratitude. Saving face is big in Chinese culture, it’s unbecoming to accept a tip on first offer but as the tipper if you keep insisting then it will be rude not to take it. It’s a game, Chinese will fight over bills and going Dutch is considered in poor taste, making sure guests have the best experience is the culture norm.

I lived in mainland China for 5 and a half years, HK for 12. I loved HK and much preferred it to my time in Nanjing and Shenzhen, but i still found my experiences there interesting and met nice people whom I still keep in touch with. But the air pollution was horrendous ( in fairness it's getting a lot better in Southern china at least in recent years) and just the 'control' aspects wear on you after a while.
      I think a lot of the hyperbole around China being so futuristic and advanced and 'the West' ( which is a pretty ridiculous blanket term) being one giant Kensington Philadelphia pretty asinine.
      And China's growth as it built basic infrastructure from scratch is obviously rapidly slowing. There are massive issues around youth unemployment currently in China running at over 20 percent officially ( so god knows the real figure) and a rapidly imploding residential property market that makes up an insane 23 percent of Chinese GDP. So China for sure not immune to many of the challenges we've faced in Europe and America.

      If China was still under Deng, Hu Jingtao or an equivalent pragmatist I might actually agree with you, but Xi's Mao 2.0 reboot is seriously undermining China's ability for business to innovate and compete. Who wants to be the next Pony Ma or Jack Ma when unless you're on the right side of Xi and suitably sychophantic you're going to end up in prison or worse. Watching the Tik Tok CEO who was on the purging radar, crawl and say that without studying 'Xi jinpin thought' he couldn't have created Tik Tok was so cringe. Ultimately I think his brand of backwards rabid nationalism will mean that China will not surpass the US. Just my view of course. A view I couldn't even express in China without serious repercussions.

    wow, wow, wow, notice how clean and tidy the place is, notice all that food, looks fit and good to eat. I visited China, Shanghai, World Expo 2010 it is all life but just done differently. This was before the smartphone was used so much, no Alipay, cash and regular credit cards. No online translation either, just a phrase book. Also visited Hong Kong and Macau, both very different but equally facinating. (No heated toilet seats, did you find the squat loos, sometimes a large room with low level boards for minimal privacy). Hope you both had a great visit.
