Industry.
Poverty but with a sort of small rise of a middle class.
No I would not want to live there the buildings are shit, the working hours are shittier, the environment is torn to shreds.

How come Macau is almost never mentioned in international news? I swear most people never even heard about it.

For sure. Macau is right there.

>>513101070
Do they still speak Portuguese in Macau?

Bump

>>513101729
No, why would they and why should they?

Only the old folks could speak it.

>>513097888 (OP)
i would live there. it is humid though and has lots of rain and typhoons. lots of countryside once you leave the city. actually very beautiful part of the world i fyou have a car to drive outside the cities.

>>513098914
>the buildings are shit
very untrue.

>>513097888 (OP)
One of the coolest parts of their country. It has cyberpunk cities and from there you can go to China's Florida and watch rocket launches.

>>513105091
Hainan is full of foreigners, wonder whether lately Russians still visit it.

Como você foi parar em Guangdong, entre todos os lugares?

>>513107436
Canton Fair. Business trip.

>>513097888 (OP)
>Would you live here?
Lived in Shenzhen for close to 10 years. I loved it, honestly.
It really does feel like living in a (dirty in the corner) cyberpunk future, minus the crime.
Food is amazing, too. Fruits especially.
The city is also much more green that you would expect. There's tons of parks and you can hike in nature in the mountains right out of the city.
>>513098343
>Niggers invading
Nah, that's Guanzhou. And housing isn't really expensive, honesly.

>>513097888 (OP)
I never been there. I have been to Hong Kong and Macau since they border that, but not to Guangdong at all. My Hong Kong fiancée rarely goes to Mainland China.

>>513099560
It's essentially Las Vegas minus all of the degeneracy, plus half of the city not being casino related, but instead Portuguese architecture and old colonial buildings.

>>513110009
So it's comfy Vegas then?

>>513111823
I mean it's not as comfy as Indian casinos such as Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun in Connecticut (and degeneracy of any kind are not allowed in either of them), but it's comfy. And doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

>>513097888 (OP)
I would live in Canton

>>513110009
Isn't it still largely owned by the triads?

>>513112085
Didn't see any.

Never saw any Triads in Hong Kong either. Most casinos in Macau are owned by MGM and other corporations. The same exact owners as the ones in Vegas and elsewhere.

>>513111823
Here is a picture I took when I was in Macau back in January. If I didn't tell you, you would swear up and down that this was Vegas.

>>513097888 (OP)
> Live in the factory trash capital of China.
Nope.
Szechuan would be the based choice at least you could eat spicy food and bum around rather safely.

>>513112466
Here is the inside of the Venetian Macau, which is the world's largest casino (one of the shopping centers, not the gambling grounds, since cameras and photography is prohibited).

>>513112173
The thing is they aren't "Triads" they are called "Tongs" or community organizations. You aren't meant to "see" them, if you don't see them, you are doing fine, the truth is, you don't want to get involved with the Tongs at all. They are the ones that operate the illegal gambling dens and whore houses.

macau is technically not guangdong.

but yeah hong kong, macau, shenzhen and guangzhou are all pretty nice

>>513113049
I know full well of the Sun Yee On and 14K in Hong Kong. One of the very few things that Sleeping Dogs got remotely right (if extremely and heavily exaggerated) about the city.

All of the places I been to in Macau were legal and corporate owned. And I didn't enter any gambling den in Hong Kong. We didn't go to gamble, more to sight see, since we were more interested in the Portuguese architecture and old colonial buildings and landmarks in Macau.

>>513113267
Yeah, that makes sense. Well anyway, Triads aren't at all like the Yakuza with a public image either or people that have easy and accessible public offices you can just easily walk into, they are a secret organization more like the Masons, if you want to link up with a Triad well, you would want to find a proper traditional Kung Fu type of School with a certain pedigree and heritage and a chinese Sifu, those people are usually linked up with Triads.

>>513113762
I would rather much stay away from criminals all together. When my Hong Kong fiancée was here and I showed her Sleeping Dogs, she hated it not only due to how it was Hong Kong in name only (didn't even remotely resemble the city), but also hated all of the violence and crime in it, and was crying when she was reminded of hearing news stories about criminal syndicates there similar to those doing similar crimes. Didn't stop me from 100%ing it a second time.

>>513097888 (OP)
They eat rats, dogs, cats, humans, exotic animals you never heard of. Nobody can stop their rise somehow

>>513113944
Based lol. Its more Hong Kong in the sort of Hong Kong movie sense and police drama than reality for sure. Its funny how the Yakuza aren't seen like that by the Japanese at all with games like Yakuza in comparison. Your fiancée was a bit over emotional though. Yeah, linking up with a crime organization doesn't mean you have to run around with them or nothing, just knowing they are there and shit, its better actually to be on their good side in general because they can look after your back if someone tries to pull dirt on you around the hood. Think it like that instead of getting involved with them.

>>513114269
She doesn't want to move to the US because of all of the crimes in our cities here, even medium sized ones. Even then, Hong Kong is the safest and cleanest city I have ever been to.

>>513101729
Not really. Maybe some very old folks who lived in the colonial times and are still alive and maybe some Macau goverment elite.
Anyway heres a song in their dialect: https://youtu.be/JmPYVbKWF70?si=X8QFxctRkUlBMC2s
If you understand PT/ES maybe you can understand a few words.

>>513114415
Do the baller move and move to Taiwan with her. Now that's how you say Fuck China properly.

>>513114928
I also been to Taipei. It looks and feels like an American city. Even to the point where there's a baseball autographed by Babe Ruth on the top of Taipei 101 (she didn't know who he was, but I wanted that baseball, but I have jack shit for money, I am not a thief, and it wasn't for sale anyway).

But then again, Taipei has everyone throwing toilet paper in small bins. Where restrooms smell like absolute shit, where you enjoy the sights of other people's discarded toilet paper right in front of you.

>>513115135
> Public toilets are a disgusting sight everywhere.
Hmh, grass is green.

>>513097888 (OP)
they speak a funky port dialect there called teow-chew

>>513097888 (OP)
No, but I'd prefer Chengdu or Kunming.
Most Aussies love Shanghai, soulless take.

>>513116513
Do Australians like to expat in China or prefer just to visit?

>>513099508
Which city?
Good luck, anon.

>>513097888 (OP)
shenzhen only rose became what it is today because of close proximity to hong kong.
there is no reason to pay attention to that province now that hong kong is no longer the international hub it once was.

>>513097888 (OP)
They speak Cantonese, that's it

>>513118036
I'm sure they speak more than just Cantonese.

>>513099015
Ab, he’s wagging his tail. That means he’s happy!

anyone here learning chinese?

>>513120607
Me. How's your learning going so far?

>>513097888 (OP)
Giant disgusting Asian megacity

I was there in 2007 before taking a boat down to Hong Kong (still independent then ) and it was 1000x better than the mainland

>>513122778
How was Hong Kong back then better than the mainland?

>>513125019
First of all, no social credits in Hong Kong. Zero.

Secondly, everything is paid using an Octopus Card, which is a specialized debit card. Used for the MTR station, but expanded to everything, including the one million 7Elevens and Circle Ks there.

Third, endless malls. You walk through a mall to go to the other side of a building and walk into another mall. Even the metro stations are malls. All free enterprise.

The museums are also free, since they're all public.

Isn't that where most of the industry is located? So probably endless factories and a shitty place to actually live

>>513125354
Don't you also have industry and factories in Finland too?

>What happens here?
Idk. Probably something very depressive and opressive.
>Would you live here?
Fuck no. Although I'd be willing to compromise and live in Macau instead.

>>513113944
did she comment on how awful the cantonese voice acting was?

>>513131377
Nope.

Hell if I know how bad the Cantonese voice acting is. I can only count to ten. Words. Not writing (except up to 4).

>>513100390
He is right. If I had to go live somewhere in China and learn about technology at the same time, it'd be Shenzhen. Thank you for enlightening me.

Also I have never seen so many peruvian flags at once here

>>513131488
interesting. the main complaint from some hongers i know was how unnatural it sounded
>I can only count to ten.
when i become good friends with someone that can speak another language, the first thing i ask is if they can teach me how to swear and say nigger

>>513132032
I am White. No Chinese blood in me. My fiancée is Chinese and Cantonese is her native language.

So don't blame me if I am less fluent than a 2 year old in that language.

>>513132130
>I am White
same
>So don't blame me
no blame, just saying thats what i do

>>513097888 (OP)
China's California
Warm climate, lots of tech companies

>>513131488
Would you rather improve your reading or your writing? How about speaking the language or understanding what people are saying?

>>513134243
On a scale of 1 to 10 for impossibility for me, it's a 15.

It's a language that can only be mastered if you are living there and taking classes daily in doing that.

>>513112173
Stanley Ho, now deceased, and his family were the casino kings of macau and were the local partners of the foreign brands. Stanley Ho was a major money cleaner for the chinese organised crime which is why macanese casinos exist. it isn't as clean as you are making out.

>>513134449
How about learning just Standard Mandarin Chinese then? It would be easier and/or accessible.

>>513136930
Because it would be easier with her, since it is her native language.

And she also isn't fond of the Mainland. Whenever she hears anybody speaks in Mandarin, she stays silent, paranoid that they might be a CCP spy. Even when she was over here to see me.

>>513137049
you should beat her into not being retarded

>>513097888 (OP)
its both the best and worst place to live in

Big tech hub. Rich people live there.

I'd move to Guangzhou immediately.

>>513097888 (OP)
Just cuz its trips and I didn't see anyone else say it: this region is largely Cantonese-speaking, and the origin of Canonese cuisine like dim sum
