A decade ago, Bradley Krae left the United States to teach English in Shenzhen, China. He spends less money and says the has found his own version of the American Dream there.
I think he’s converting everything to USD as he never says anything about Chinese Yuan. Also the cost of things seems to align with him converting the currency.
The crazy thing is he talks about the affordability, but he makes over 4x the average/median salary for the city. That would be like making $400k/year in New York City or almost $500k/year in San Fransico. Now maybe that money wouldn’t go as far in the US, but when you’re making that much money any place would seem good.
On an American or Chinese salary? The difference is important.

If he’s paying 1000 for rent, almost certainly American.
