China and Thailand, my guy. Lived in both places. Also been through Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Cambodia, and Myanmar. Asia is WILD in all the best ways.
China is complex, counterintuitive, futuristic, but also deeply authoritarian.
Thailand is sunshine and smiles but EVERYTHING is a mafia also. But whatever you’re into, the got it on got it, stacked 3 or 4 deep. You’ll go out there and have the time of your life and then meet the love of your life.
Grateful for my time in China but glad to be out.
Plan to live in or frequently travel to Thailand for the rest of my life.
