I remember China and British ruled Hong Kong back in the 70s to 90s was like night and day. Hong Kong orderly, lots of things to buy, nice TV channels, lots of movies to watch, clean more or less. excellent and efficient public transportation nice night life. well made roads then you cross the border, you start seeing pot holes shabilly dressed police in sandals. dirty, people shitting in the streets, few cars, mostly bicycles, polluted, nothing to buy, food dirty , tap water yellow, tv sucks, no movies to watch nightlife sucks.

and besides living in China, I remember going as a tourist to the USSR and the Warsaw pact countries in 83, with a tour group, went thru East Berlin, Prague, Budapest, Leningrad, Moscow etc. I remember when I stayed as the Cosmos hotel Moscow , I had the waiter in the Cosmos hotel ask me hey where are you from, I said the Philippines, he said wow that is great hey do you want to buy caviar, I sadi yah, and the waiter led me to big hotel store room and sold me soviet caviar , came in small glass containers with red or blue metal lid, for 5 USD a pop. He told me sorry we only accept USD, Deutsemarks, French Franc, UK pounds but sorry, no Italian Lira or Japanese yen and esp. Russian ruble hahaha.
I also remember the Cosmos hotel moscow had a massive lobby , the biggest hotel lobby i have ever seen very impressed with it. one day I was relaxing ini the lobby when a civilian came in the hotel, suddenly all these Soviet guys in suits who were also sititng down inthe lobby all got up and went to the guy, hahah, first thing i thought lots of KGB here haha , not surprised our tour guide and minders were also KGB. heck I gave Philippine Pesos to them as souvenir hahah
