相比美国，在中国生活有哪些好处？

1.Your salary. I get paid pretty much equalto what I would in the USA ($40-45k) as a history teacher at a local school,which includes a stipend for housing and round-trip flight home every year...but my salary goes further here.
At home, I could hardly afford an apartment (I'm from New Jersey) because I hadstudent loans, car payments, car insurance, rent, utilities, etc.
Here, rent is paid. Utilities are cheap ($100 max for heat in the winter; $10water bill; $30 unlimited internet). I have no car, no car insurance. I can gettaxis (starting at $3) or hire a car (starting at $5) or take the metro (lessthan $1) everywhere. I can eat very well with a variety of foods, go getmassages & spa treatments ($30 for 90min at my fave place, but you can goto cheaper places), and travel cheaply. All while still having enough to sendhome to pay for student loans...
1.薪水。我在当地一所学校当历史老师，我的薪水和我在美国差不多（40-45K美刀），其中包括住房和每年往返机票等补贴...但钱在这里更经用。
在美国，我连公寓几乎都住不起（我来自新泽西州），因为我有助学贷款，汽车贷款，汽车保险，房租，水电等。
在这里，我只要付租金。水电费很便宜（冬天暖气最多100刀，水费10刀，30刀可不限流量上网）。我没有车，所以也就没有汽车保险。但我可以打的（起步价为3刀） ，或租一辆车（起价5刀） ，或乘坐地铁（不到1刀）去任何地方。我可以享受各种美食，去按摩或做SPA（我最喜欢的地方90分钟/30刀，也有更便宜的地方）旅行也很便宜。所以我仍还有足够的钱还助学贷款…
2. The food. I left Shanghaifor a year for another job and that is what I missed most. All the regionalcuisines (Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Dongbei, Taiwanese, Xinjiang, Tibetan) aredelicious and fantastic. I can also get a wide range of international cuisineswithin 5km of my apartment (Thai, Vietnamese, Vegan, Organic,Japanese, French, Italian, Mediterranean, Spanish, Mexican, Turkish, Moroccan,Indian, Malaysian, Singaporean, etc. etc.) and, for the most part, arereasonably priced. Shanghai is more expensive than Beijing and people herealways complain about inflation, especially with cost of food. However, witheverything else being relatively cheap, I don't mind spending $15-30 on aWestern restaurant brunch which includes a bloody Maryor two... (not the four star crazy buffets... they are $80-100)
2.美食。当我因另一份工作离开上海一年时，这是我最怀念的。所有的地方菜系（湖南，四川，云南，东北，台湾，新疆，XZ）都无比好吃。在我住的公寓5公里范围内就可以吃到各国美食（泰国，越南，素食，有机，日本，法国，意大利，地中海，西班牙，墨西哥，土耳其，摩洛哥，印度，马来西亚，新加坡，等等，等等），并在大多数情况下，价格公道。上海物价比北京更贵，这里的人也总是抱怨通货膨胀，尤其是在吃的上花费。然而，其他一切是相对便宜，我并不介意花15到30刀在一间西餐厅享受一个早午餐，来上一两杯鸡尾酒...（当然不是那些疯狂的四星级酒店自助餐......那得 80到100刀 ）
3.Convenience. You don't have time to clean your house or do your laundry? Hirean ayi (maid/nanny) ... Mine costs about $6/hr ... You don't want to go to yourfavorite restaurant for dinner because the pollution is bad? Don't worry, youcan have it delivered. There are many restaurant delivery services where youcan order online and someone goes to get your order from the restaurant andbrings it to you... You don't want to go to theforeign supermarket? You can orderonline and have it delivered. You don't want to go to the store to buy bottledwater? You can have it delivered. You don't want to spend $100s on a new suit?Bring a picture to the fabric market and they'll make it for $10s. You want todo a juice cleanse? You can buyone and have it delivered to you every day. You can get a lot of things donefor you if you know how... And the list keeps growing!
3.便利。你没有时间打扫房间或洗衣服？可以请阿姨（保姆） ...只需花费 6刀每小时......你不想去你喜欢的餐厅吃饭，因为外面污染很重？别担心，你可以叫外卖。许多餐厅提供外卖服务，你可以在网上下单，就有人会送到你手上...你不想去超市？你也可以在网上订购然后快递。你不想去商店买矿泉水？你也可以叫快递。你不想花上100多刀买一套新衣服？可以把衣服图片拿到面料市场，只需要10几刀他们就能帮你做好同样的衣服。你想要做喝果汁减肥？你可以订购然后每天都会送上门。只要你知道方式，很多事情都可以搞定......这个名单可以无限增加！

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
