    It doesn’t.

    Housing is extremely affordable compared to here in the U.S. So is food, transportation and healthcare.

    I highly recommend Kunming

      I’m definitely going to visit next year … just putting away money for now. I’ll see if I can add Kunming to the list, thanks!

      I can’t wait to eat more food. My Cantonese is “okay” but my Mandarin is garbage … I’m gonna spend the next year or so watching dramas and stuff to catch up!

        Remember, if you order the mushroom hot pot you have to wait a bit before eating it. Maybe you already know this but we didn’t and gave our server a heart attack. 😆 Fortunately we had only taken a couple bites and neither of us experienced ill effects.
