Look what these people managed to build in 20 years. Compare with Eastern Europe.

iancu:

They grow up expecting to work, we grow up expecting to be entertained. Isn’t this the biggest difference between us (caucasians in general) and them (asians)?

Kit:

Iancu, I have no clue how they did it, but the reality is overwhelming: I’ve seen infrastructure like few European countries have. If any.

Next to the skyscrapers and under the suspended highways there are slums, it is true, and there isn’t any kind of inclination to build a decent sidewalk in the city.

I thought that healthcare was sacrificed, but it doesn’t seem to be true. Apparently they have outstanding hospitals and physicians.

For me, the question remains: how on earth did they built all this?
