Eh… My little cousins live in Korea and come from money, it still sounds kinda crappy. 8 hours of school then instrument practice, dance class, and after school academy… the little dudes get home at like 9-10pm every night. One of them calls all the time and begs us to host him when he’s ready for college, the little guy just wants to play football.

UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 hours agoEverything boils down to your economic cohort. Being upper class in Korea and Japan is fantastic. Being upper class in the Philippines is pretty great, all things considered. Just be born rich. Anywhere, really. Even being a rich Ukrainian or Syrian gets you a lot of extra mileage, globally. And the spread between rich and poor in a country like Dubai or South Africa, right now? Astronomical.

It really doesn’t sound like the original OP wants to be rich, though. As far as I can tell, their fantasy is to be regular school kid. I suppose an upper middle class kid in philippines, indonesia etc. is probably similar enough to satisfy anon’s fantasy. But I think especially in Korea and China, you would actually still be expected to work your ass off in school even if you’re rich.

Sounds like we need a global communist revolution
