Also coupled with their population having little financial knowledge, frequently speculate only so trying to predict the market response is ridiculously hard.

This is so true. Chinese financial literacy is quite bad.

I personally don’t find China attractive as a holiday destination.
Been to Beijing once long time ago…..js to visit the Great Wall

Which cities in particular do u recommend?

I think the best places to go are the historical places and suburban areas. Otherwise, going to Tier 1 cities is going to be like going to Singapore.

Oh, you got the same problem as me. I would avoid going to Chongqing/Sichuan provinces.

Go for holidays is to explore and enjoy different food and scenery. Shanghai, Beijing, Qingdao all have nice places to explore, I particularly like those old places, buildings which you don't find in Singapore. I also like to try new food, something different from what we have over here. I plan to visit Harbin next month and maybe Chengdu next year.

Maybe their food suits yr taste buds.
i generally find their foods taste bad (with reference to those china restuarants sprouting all over SG)….maybe js me.

Any tier 2 city in china also looks way better than any tier 1 city in india. The difference is staggering.

You cannot compare heaven and hell.

Food is acceptable to me, but cannot eat often. They can be really oily, salty and really spicy for Sichuan style dishes.

I travel a lot due to my wife.
China is our fav.destination atm.

I never been to India and not intending to whahah

Ya especially i eat mainly plain steam/boil whole food stuff post retirement

So now my taste buds react very strongly to smthing sweet, salty and spicy.

I only enjoy wasabi as much now…..other food flavoring taste yucky to me… i prefer to taste the original natural food by itself with little seasoning

I actually eat like this too.

I like fresh salad to substitute for carbs but the only place in Asia I dare to order fresh salad is Japan. I know so many people got food poisoning in certain Asian countries.

I've been there once when younger and more adventurous, went for Tiger Safari across a few of their parks. But not my idea of a relaxing holiday. When it comes to Asia, Japan is still my favourite destination (the less crowded areas).

Their vegetarian food is superb especially if u like veges

Japan, Korea, Oz, NZ are my fav too (all within 8h flight hahaha)
No food poisoning incident occurred to me and my family so far for those places above

Are you into Bitcoin? Bitcoin has a huge meltdown in 2022 and recovered last year.

 

[highsulphur]

Ibkr portfolio ytd twr is just above 16%. Probably less than S&P and not alot over 3 years (since 2022 was a massive drawdown) but happy with the gains.
