actually I wouldn't mind living in any of them since I love2.gif Asia, but I'd say Mongolia as I'd feel super bored and isolated there..



Edit: oh and of course, North Korea.. (how could I forget lol) embarassedlaugh.gif

Re-Edit lol: and Papua New Guinea, oooops! (that's Oceania).. I actually meant Irian Jaya, for obvious reasons hahaha

Re-Edit³: I just realized India is in Asia too (am really stupid, I know), so I'll say Bombay, oh! and Afghanistan and Pakistan

Hopefully Last Edit lol: earthquake and tsunami high risk areas i.e. Fukushima.. (thx Yer, geico & Krateros for reminding me lol)

Don't forget the skinheads in Mongolia and Russia. You're probably safer in cities there as the police will be there to protect you. I wouldn't want to visit Beijing. Too much smog and pollution. I don't want to visit Thailand or Burma either. Lots of gangs there.

i would not want to live in the more northern part, it is to cold, i would much rather stay in a semi tropical or complete tropical place, maybe a landlocked country because i fear tsunami.

the parts that are 3rd world or non-Mongoloid

I would just live in Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong.
Semi-developed countries like China, Malaysia, Thailand, and Kazakhstan are in the maybe category.

Beijing pollution is fu-ked up. The thing is it looks just like any regular city, doesn't have any factories, cars are modern and clean, no motorbikes. But in winter time you smell coal and wood smoke, because so much is still burned for heating. The geography also traps the air there, I think. Really coastal cities are much more suited for high density development. Geographically, USA and Europe are blessed with marine west coast climates, they get the clean marine air blown into their coast, but marine east climate in Asia get dirty continental winds. icon_sad.gif

1. On the first day, a cold front sweeps in from Mongolia, similar to the way cold fronts from Canada visit the Northeast United States.
2. The cold front tends to bring blustery winds, washing away the smog and delivering clearer air from the north. Again, this is similar to the winds from Canada that shove pollution out of New York City.
3. After a day or two, the incoming winds begin to shift counterclockwise, to the west, and then to the southwest, with the haze from industrial zones in tow.
4. As the wind shifts entirely to the south, the haze builds until another cold front form the north crashes in and wipes it away. The smog clears, and the cycle starts anew. In the summer, the cycle lengthens to two weeks, as opposed to every week, because the decreased temperature difference between the equator and poles slows down atmospheric circulation.


QUOTE
Chinese officials have, in the last few months, begun to recognize that the smog is a regional problem, worsened by the new coal power plants that go online at least weekly in China. For the last few months, the scientists say, Chinese officials have started traveling to the provinces south of Beijing to remind local leaders that they have a duty to help ensure a pristine Olympics, and that they should consider enacting measures to reduce particulate pollution. But these southern provinces power Beijing, and the cost of shutting them down would be astronomical.


Actually the cause of the pollution in Beijing is due to the fact that there are so many factories located around it. Furthermore, it barely receives any rain to wash away the smog. Beijing does receive coastal winds, but it's not enough. The damage has been done. Beijing alone has over 4.8 million cars[1]. They have already tried drastic measures to fix the problem during the Olympics- shutting down factories, closing roads, reducing number of vehicles on roads, but nothing really changed[2].

QUOTE
[1] Strong winds kept Beijing's skies clear and blue for most of January despite the city's numerous coal-fired power stations and more than 4.8 million cars on the roads -- the capital's main sources of air pollution.

QUOTE
[2] Contrary to popular perception both inside and outside China, Beijing’s air pollution problem is not primarily due to increases in personal vehicle use. Granted, there have been dozens of press reports about the surging numbers of vehicles that Beijingers are buying. These reports are true, but also misleading. In contrast to the experience in the U.S., Beijing’s boom in vehicle ownership has not yet invaded its surrounding areas. It is mainly China’s wealthiest cities that are participating in the car boom; smaller cities and towns have seen more modest growth in vehicle ownership.

The real causes of Beijing’s air quality woes lie elsewhere. An article last year suggested the key component to Beijing’s ozone problem (the stuff that makes your eyes itch, causes shortness of breath and reduces visibility) is actually volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from small factories in neighboring Hebei province. A sniff test suggests that there are plenty of these factories operating in and around Beijing. Many are small (and possibly illegal), and they operate only at night to avoid the scrutiny of environmental inspectors. So the Beijing government has several problems: first, it must locate these hidden factories. Then they must shut them down—and convince neighboring provinces to do the same.

i wouldn't wanna live in any other country than Burma. Main reason: 'cos there are lots and lots of virgins and very little pollution in everything(people and environment)...as for the gangs here.....they don't dare "touch" me...so....no problemo! still, the hospitality in the people would make you forget everything....here, we can travel from city to city with very little money cos everyone tends to help each other(that's exceedingly rare in other countries with the growth of "don't care" attitude, fu-ked up lands)

by your own words you are damaged goods, a piece of trash that should be discarded because of your impurity. self righteous, ill-bred and hypocrite sounds quite fitting for you actually.

considering you're objectifying women by basing their purity on their pre marital sex life, you dont really care for them as people, all you care about is their virginity.
rockcrazyboy
okay...let me make it clear.....a woman's virginity has a great effect on her mentality.

I once had a friend consult me on a case with his girlfriend. His virgin GF broke up with him because he values her so much that he actually refused to sleep with her when she asked him to. After breaking up, that girl got together with another guy and slept with him. Some time later, the girl came back to my friend saying that she missed him and the guy she was with was just hungry for her body. So, my friend asked me how he should treat that girl. I advised him to accept her back since she's seen the error of her ways. They are now happily married for 2 years.

Another case was how a girl had two boyfriends. One of them loved her for real, the other only lusted for her body. She know their minds well but she decided to "do it" with the latter. She got pregnant and then the second guy was gone. So she asked the first guy to marry her without any conviction of regret in doing it. That guy came to ask me about advise and I told him not to marry the girl. If the girl knows how to value herself, then she is worthy of cherishing. If a girl's only cheap enough to "do it" just for the sake of experimenting or enjoyment, she does not deserve the title of a well-raised lady.


Why I care about virginity a lot is that it effects the person's mentality as well as behavior. We are Asians. If you wanna point out about how women are placed as a "thing" to pass around, then you simply cannot get over it. There are things that must be discarded out of tradition but there are also those which must be cherished no matter how much time has gone by. People valuing themselves( both male and female) about their virginity is something that should be cherished until the end of time. I'm not objectifying here. But instead, I'm trying to raise self-control that is seriously lacking in the youngsters all over the world.


When you've already had your first time before marriage, it has some other forms of consequence too. We never can forget about our first, can we? So what if our first and our last isn't one? Who are we gonna be thinking of when we have sex with our spouse? That's one kind of mentality that we seriously need to think about. It feels like betraying to think of another person while in bed with your lawfully wedded spouse. What I'm trying to do is to enforce the mental barriers in even the slightest of issues so that their personalities become much polished. As the buddhist way of thinking, sins committed by the mind are the worst. If you've had experience in sex, then if you like it, you're not gonna just stay sober if your spouse doesn't meet your expectations. You're gonna think back about the time that you enjoyed most. And mostly, people can't control that thought. So they tend to betray, thinking that "it's only once". But then...if you can't stop the thought, you can't stop the actions too. That "only once"s will surely add up to divorce. If we all are virgins before marriage, such kinds of things would never happen. It's how the virginity will support your marriage and your bearing of children.

I've shown examples for countless times that a kid's mentality can be messed up if he knows that his father and mother aren't their firsts mutually. That is, in Asian community of course. We take great pride in such kinds of "physical and mental cleanliness". But the western fate now torments us all. We're seeing non-virgins under 15. The guys and girls would try to "experiment" thinking that "one time won't hurt". And then get us all on trouble with their unwanted pregnancies, STDs and abandoned babies. In my country, the percentage is still quite low. But looking at the possibilities, I thought it be only necessary that we start promoting self-control and self-value.


It's all for the mental aspect and the future of our generations. If you can understand what I've written above, you can understand my obsession about it.

WTH is wrong with you people? My intentions are to enfore asian culture and you're asking me to leave? No way! I thought the forum's intended to make asian people better......not westernize them. I opposed that phrase "none of your business" because I never heard a single talk about it in all my 34 years of living in Myanmar. We asians don't "think" that way. We care about each other. So why is it wrong for me to oppose it? Gimme some reasons.

Atleast in Afghanistan you have ISAF so if you have a life threatening injury or illness and other conditions are good you'll be flown to a first class medical facility and treated. There's also PRT going around and slowly building infrastructure so really you'd be better off in Afghanistan than North Korea.

North Korea is in no way shape or form worse than Somalia or Afghanistan.
Show me any pictures from either Somalia or Afghanistan that are anywhere near these. Somalia is literally the single worse country in the world. Afghanistan is just to traditional. They have no desire to develop, or so it seems.

Says who? The media? Dude if you dig deeper into research you would know that Jung has policies such as not only is a convict punished but his neighbors and closest friends and family are also punished with a jail sentence. Once jailed, prisoners are torchered and essentially becoming test subjects for different military nerve gases and bio as well as fire arms testing. The US military can take this guy out at any time but insists on occupation in S. Korea while getting paid for doing nothing. They claim assisted protection but they are there for rape and sodomy of the local population as evidenced by findings under investigation.

there are headhunter in the island Borneo (shared with Malaysia & Brunei) they used to be cannibals, but I still believe some of them still practise cannibalism.
anyway, no there are no komodo dragons in Papua ^_^ komodos are from komodo island & surrounding islsnds, which are closer to Bali than Papua hehehe

a place with a few head hunters and some cannibalism is still better than a place with a strict sharia law imo :P

The worst thing about Beijing is the pollution and the traffic and the wind. There's just too much crap inside Beijing. The government tries, as you can tell by how many damn trees they plant, but that'll never be enough until the burning of coal/diesel releases sprinkles rather than crap.

The good thing is that it's significantly metropolitan enough that there's a niche for everything, and because cops are all over the place so the city is very safe.
