more like an extremely small minority of asians will be driving nice cars and going to nice unis, whilst the reset live in terrible smog, poverty, and with a general lack of human rights and representation. that'll last long. world domination incoming.Cybargs wrote:

i think a far higher proportion of white dudes will drive nice luxury cars, considering most of asia's wealth is being generated at the massive expense of the majority. having a few super-rich with ferraris doesn't really make up for the fact that the rest of the nation are basically still peasants, does it? just like nobody seriously welcomes russia's 'pre-eminence' globally, because they have a nomenklatura who all have billion dollar oil/metal interests. you kind of still ridicule them for how backwards the rest is.
do people actually drive to your schools? ive never met a single person who drove to campus here
standards of living is still rising rapidly. Sure it'll take a while to get there, but life is MUCH MUCH better for Asia compared to 20 years ago.Uzique The Lesser wrote:

that's not really saying a lot, though. less than half a century ago you were experiencing famine and mass death.Cybargs wrote:

my school was in the leafy western suburbs of london. the posho golf-course belt. but mainly the reason people drove around my campus was because it was on top of a massive fuck-off hill, overlooking a vantage over west london, and it was a lot of effort to climb it every day . plus the majority of foreign/asian students opted to move out into the surrounding posh developments to rent property, and with it being more like the suburbs than the inner-city, it's not as if you could get a bus from every street corner to the campus. all within 20 minutes walking distance, of course, but what sort of asian foreign student wants to walk for 20 minutes in louis vuitton heels?do people actually drive to your schools? ive never met a single person who drove to campus here

true, u of t is in the absolute downtown of toronto with streetcars, buses and subways all around and next to no parking. you see the odd fancy student car here and there but the campus is made for walking - they've closed off a few of the roads in recent years to make more walkways.
campus is surrounded with a few fancy condo buildings and expensive apartment style residences where all the loaded international kids live

the thing with central london accommodation is that it's $1500 a month.

sydney is pretty fucked a 2 bedroom apartment will run you around $1600 (at BEST) to $2500 a month on average.
That's pretty fucking cheap for a large city. This is mid town or suburbs?Cybargs wrote:

Around 20 minutes radius to CBD. Some areas are way pricier due to location (North Sydney, Milson's Point/ Kirribilli).KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

For cheaper rent you're looking around an hour away by train to CBD.
That's the average around here. Sure its more desirable but not even close to LA proper, sf or manhattan. Would think a large international city like sydney would be cheaper, but I have little knowledge about real estate in aus.
average housing price in the suburb I lived in ran around 800k USDKEN-JENNINGS wrote:

if you were renting a single bedroom place it would be around that here. but for cheap student housing with a few roommates I pay $800 a month which is on the slightly higher end. im sure if you were in the downtown financial district it would be $2k+ a month

So a local group called the right wing resistance (NZ's pathetic attempt at neonazis) held a rally in my city today, managing to encourage a grand total of 40 people to attend. A hastily-arranged (and by that I mean a few messages passed round amongts friends on FB a few days before) anti-racism rally managed 100. If I'd know the anti-racism rally was going to get in the face of these pustulent maggots I might have gone along.

How people like this can call themselves patriots whilst emulating the people who wanted to destroy us (nazis) is beyond me.
