Yeah it used to be alright. Now with USA and China on the brink of WW3 it's not so great. But it still has its perks; the women are hot and money obsessed/easy to figure out what they want, gear isn't sold otc but is tolerated and you're allowed to home brew for personal use, food is a bit cheaper than the USA, easy to travel to other Asian and east euro countries countries, salaries are much higher than Asian countries than the more "civilized" and economically advanced asian countries because nobody wants to live here so they have to pay foreigners more to come. It's racist, but much less racist than Japan or Korea.
