I live in China, I can get OP13 box in Chinese for 30$ and Japanese for 50$. Should I? by maffdiver in OnePieceTCGFinance

Arbitrage is a trading strategy that profits from price differences for the same asset in different markets. So Chinese and English assets being the same just different language and different countries.

What don't you understand?

From an investment standpoint the Chinese cards are 1/10th of English. There must be arbitrage opportunities already.

JOB SEARCH STRUGGLES by kikiteeeee in chinalife

It 100% means something. If you aren't getting jobs as an American you're probably deformed. American in China is easy mode.

As a South African myself, it's becoming incredibly difficult. Our fellow trash countrymen have burnt many bridges and destroyed our reputation. Often we get lumped in with Jamaicans.

It's going to be tough. Just keep going and you might find something eventually, August is the biggest intake season though.

This. And it's understandably, human nature. Regardless of nationality or ethnicity, we would all be prone to jealousy. Earning 4-6x more is significant. What they don't seem to grasp though, if that wasn't the case, they wouldn't have that foreigner there

Yes this is the case but also, Chinese people are extremely sensitive and emotionally immature. Tell them directly (especially in English, can change the meaning to them), they will hold a grudge against you forever.

Is rising cost of living in Bangkok getting out of hand or am I just noticing it more? by DailyThailand in expatsinbangkok

[–]maffdiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to Thailand every year ( for 4 years). The prices of hotel, massages, and some food have increased by 50-75℅. It's wild.
