I have a nephew that works for Coca Cola and lives in Shanghai (with his Russian wife). He absolutely loves it there.
He also sometimes pisses me off with his over the top praise for the city. Hey dude, you came from ‘Murica. They had travelled to Australia last January, got stranded there over the pandemic, moved back to Austin with my sister, and just got back to China about a month ago. China has very stringent procedures for getting back into the country.
