Haha don't worry tech guys like to drink as well!
China is barking for now, but I'm hopeful that they don't want to start WWIII just yet. In the meantime, it's a great place to live, people are awesome, and live is comfortable and cheap (not as much as SEA but still affordable).
Looking forward to meeting you again at the next HiveFest or when it will be easier to travel in Asia.
