Move here, to my state. I watched this reality TV show about thousands of Chinese millionaires who moved to Vancouver, and I thought, "Why Vancouver? It's rainy. It's a stuck-up coastal city, just like all of the other stuck-up coastal cities. They should come over to my state, specifically my town! If they're rich, they can start businesses that will make Valjeanville more interesting. Right now, the only cool business that we have that makes our town an interesting place to live in is our bakery (which, by the way, is the best bakery in the whole wide universe. But our local theatre only shows five movies. Maybe one of those rich Chinese people could buy it and expand the business. And another millionaire can set up a gourmet restaurant. Sure, I hate Chinese food, but it would be wicked cultured. Maybe a rock climbing wall? Since they're rich, I might even get customers for my wallaby breeding business! You could even put together a Chinese festival and we could have two county fairs, one for the Dutch and the other for you guys!" I'm sick and tired of coastal cities like Vancouver getting all of the attention and having the claim to being diverse and cultured, and being the place to go if you want to have any sort of fun. I hear about it all the time from my British Columbian friend. Flyover country can be that, too. I want my town to be more interesting than Vancouver, for once!
Also, you guys would give me a chance to practice what little Pǔtōnghuà I know. I would like to move to China someday, for the adventure, and I want to be uber-prepared, which is kind of hard when I don't have connections with any Chinese people. The internet is a marvelous research tool, but you can only learn about a country so much through it. Personal contacts make a difference.
