I am back to the land of 56% obese people by medical charts. Well! One glaring difference I can see is that there are too many fast food places here. In Danang and Hoy An, they have yet to have one McDonald!
A second difference is the mode of transportation, here we only see foreign workers cycling while in Danang those who could not afford motorcycle still bike around. Thirdly, people in the Danang-Hoy An area sleep early, by ten most houses are dark. Here, we see streams of vehicles running in the highways and the byways way past midnight.
Of course we could vote for the most livable place on earth, but could we really choose a better spot and be able to really move and settle there just like that? Perhaps when one is a billionaire? Quite a few of those rare breed moved to Singapore and jacked up their per-capita income. A friend of mine who have ties in the island nation said that such astronomical wealth did not add any benefits to the have nots in the streets of the island. The high exchange rate is the main reason that I have not visited Singapore for years even though it is the nearest foreign country to me.
