As bad as things are for the people here, the natives are very happy for those things that they have and tend not to focus on what they dont have (like a typical American would).

Most everyone knows someone or has a relative now or in the past that has been working in the US. They know from those people that it's work, work, work and very different from life here which almost no one seems to care what time of the day it is muchless have a list of things to do for this day.

It's appealing for a vacation to see this. Living like this and having so few things of living comfort and entertainment would not be fun.

Regardless of what China and India are doing now, the US is still the most desired country to live in. Will that change? Who knows, in time maybe.
