bosstrabs Infrastructure aside, which is without a doubt a shit show here, there are quite a few similarities with China and India.
Unified Payments Interface (UPI)/QR codes have taken over payments. And the enormous population allows for cheap labor, leading to a ton of start-ups centered around convenient and easy logistics across all industries. Friend sending me pics of the Trader Joes close to his home if SF, as if that’s the future. Had to tell him I haven’t set foot in a supermarket in three years because there are multiple apps which will deliver my groceries within 15 mins of placing the order.
Always thought I’d move to Canada/Dubai/Singapore eventually, but with a child, I have absolutely no desire to leave India (at least until she’s in middle school).
China doesn’t shit in a hole in the floor then fight it down with a pair of tongues. = Win
Uughh ..fuck China too.
Dear dave,
I have 2 jars of uncle ben’s sweet and sour sauce, one with extra pineaapple, the other has a chilli kick.
With your extensive knowledge of all things oriental, which one should i eat with my oven chips before paying for a wank from a chinese hooker?
Thank you.

It’s effortless and seemingly eternal.
Horrific
No idea what you are on about Si but Im sure i got a good pasting from you
Happy days, sean, sounds believable.
Dave and roy cropper giving your post the sympathy thumbs up too! What a combo!
Si took a big step forward recently but unfortunately it has been two steps back since then.
Deary me…

bosstrabs However, in some ways, the CBDs of places like Beijing seem more advanced in some ways than Western cities - they don’t have the stench of urban decay, failing infrastructure (because it’s all new, rather than it being well-maintained) and rising crime
But they do have the stench of much worse air pollution than the vast majority of cities in the west. Beijing has been improving, but its concentration of PM2.5 is still typically at least treble that of London for example - which already doesn’t have that good air - and is waaay above WHO guidelines.

Following on from my message above, the rankings of the worst cities in the world for air quality are consistently topped by cities in India and China, together with Pakistan, Bangladesh and others in the vicinity spreading from the middle east e.g. in Bahrain and Saudia Arabia across to Mongolia and Nepal.
Albeit, India’s air pollution does seem slightly worse overall - it’s about the 5th worst country in the world for air pollution while China is at about 11.
