Is the lack of quality western stock in terms of conversing with

And the fact that a majority of the foreigners living in said city will be of the third world. i.e. bengalis and pakis

The conversations I had with people in Hong Kong the rare times I decided to socialize were much better than my current location. I literally never talk to foreigners since moving here and decided to check the English language meetup pics and it’s all just deathnics, an occasional white boomer, and ugly chink girls.

Not that I would want the opposite of this problem such as living in shanghai and getting mogged by foreign models every time I go to a cafe in 徐汇 or seeing annoying NYU Shanghai students.
 
Traveling in Asia is mostly non-verbal for me. Days without speaking a single complete sentence. Writing is my only expressive outlet.

Given a choice between China and India I'd choose India. Chinese are too goddamn impatient and impersonal.
 
Shanghai is the black sheep of Chinese cities and is westernized, its easy to see why its considered by some to practically be like a different country. Ime it differs a lot from the other Tier 1s that I've been to.

In which other Asian countries have you had better luck finding people to converse with? Do you watch many Chinese films?

Hong Kong is good if you get in the right circles. Other than that it’s all mid. Nowhere in SEA would qualify solely based on it not attracting the brightest. Korea and Japan are out of the picture simply because they’re vassal states of America and only parrot ideas I’ve already heard.

But don’t take what I say to mean much since I am INFP and don’t talk to people most of the time anyways.

Some Chinese films I watch. If it’s mainland (hk included) films, they’re from the 90s and back. Only contemporary Chinese films I watch are Taiwanese because 99% of films made in mainland China today feel like Disney slop
