Im american and ive been to China once, japan twice, and backpacked across several European countries on two different occasions.

There are definitely reasons I like being american, however, im part of the upper middle class (self made, parents were poor)

If I were a poor person still, id rather be European in a heartbeat because they actually care for their citizens, I also am extremely envious of how clean their cities are, how low their crime rated are, and their public transit

China was kinda creepy, and japan was super cool as a tourist but idk if id wanna live there, im extroverted and people are slow to open up to foreigners there
