A remarkable quality of life, one of the best in the world. In Quebec, I have not found anywhere else in the world the combination of such a low population density, a very good health system, university studies at a reasonable cost, relatively easy access to ownership ($ in proportion to the average salary, in comparison with Australia or New Zealand with exorbitant real estate prices), a diverse cuisine where wines, cheeses and charcuterie are affordable, a neighbor such as the USA, without a very great distance separating us from France. The kindness of people. Security. The great outdoors. Unique and exceptional university courses! Greater purchasing power (10 to 12% higher than in France).
One of the places on the planet where "it's good" to be gay! / A remarkable quality of life, one of the best in the world.

Slightly less social security coverage but which may be compensated by social benefits within a large company for which you work...
The expensive price of plane tickets for certain destinations. A company focused on all consumption... Suitability for the recognition of training and diplomas outside the USA-Canada.
The harsh and endless winter / Social coverage slightly lower.
The expensive price of airline tickets for some destinations. A society focused on all consumptions... An adequacy to the recognition of the formations and diplomas. The harsh and endless winter.

A distant land that never ceases to fascinate me. An immensely rich culture. One foot on the ground! An in-laws and incessant travels / A distant land that never ceases to fascinate me. An immensely rich culture. Feet on the ground! A family-in-law and incessant journeys.
Rentier! / Annoying! LOL
The Love of my life comes from there!
Culture shock.
The kindness of the Chinese towards my pale complexion and my blue eyes. Their smiles and their curiosity. The sense of responsibility and commitment, very rooted in Chinese culture. Its monuments and its history. The beauty of majestic landscapes. Chinese cuisine, the very low prices of food and restaurants. Access to luxurious hotels at reasonable prices. Its modernity and efficiency (in work). The Greatness of the Middle Kingdom! / The Love of my life comes from there!

If you don't speak Chinese, Ouch! This could be very complicated... Few Chinese speak English and even fewer French / If you don't speak Chinese, Uh! This may be very complicated... Few Chinese speak English, let alone French.

Insecurity (theft and crime). A heavy hierarchy. A certain arrogance, snobbery, a pretension that has no reason to be, chauvinism. Vouvoiement. The difficulty of access to rental and property, promiscuity, compartmentalization. High unemployment, a saturated market and a static future! / Insecurity (theft & crime). A heavy hierarchy.
