I’ve lived and worked in both China and South Korea for few years and both countries are doing exquisitely well when it comes to infrastructure, transport and entertainment.

我在中国和韩国都生活和工作过几年，两国在基础设施、交通和娱乐方面都做得非常好。

I have honestly come to believe, East Asian countries are the future building 22nd century infrastructure and implementing digital technologies to everyday life.

我相信，东亚国家是未来建设22世纪基础设施、将数字技术应用于日常生活的国家。

This was my smart apartment in China in a tier 2 city with everything being connected to the Internet. Both kitchen and bathroom were connected and I was able to manage my apartment energy consumption through the app on my phone. This apartment was 50 square meters modest living space yet being highly functional. Apartments came furnished with television and all the other appliances - I did not buy anything both in China and Korea.

这是我在中国某二线城市居住的智能公寓，所有东西都可以连接网络。厨房和浴室都可以联网，我可以通过手机上的应用程序管理我的公寓能耗。这套公寓面积50平方米，居住面积不大，但功能一应俱全。公寓里有电视和其他电器——我在中国和韩国都没有另外采购过东西。

I was also able to measure the quality air and water through a smart device attached to the wall checking it on my phone.

我还可以通过挂在墙上的智能设备检测空气和水的质量，然后在手机上查看。

Both apartments were also accessible to the gym, swimming pool, grocery store, and 15 minutes bus journey to the downtown. Well, if you think that’s not the future then I’ve no idea how to convince you anymore. To have a smart apartment like this anywhere in Europe in any city would be like a dream for many 20 something year olds but in China and South Korea is just the norm.

居住在这两套公寓，附近就有健身房、游泳池、杂货店，只需15分钟的车程就可以到达市中心。如果你认为那不是未来，那我就不知道该怎么说服你了。能在欧洲任何城市的任何地方拥有这样一套智能公寓，对许多20多岁的年轻人来说都是一个梦想，但在中国和韩国，这只是标准配套。

Can you guess how much I paid for such apartment? 230 Dollars every month including water bills, management fee and the Internet. Now that’s bargain. Due to housing crisis, many young people are led to either share their accommodation with others or move back with their parents in Europe. I just wish I had the same option at such a low cost in Ireland & UK but unfortunately that’s not really the case.

你猜得出租住这套公寓需要花费多少钱吗？每月230美元，包括水费、管理费和网费。非常便宜。由于住房危机，许多年轻人要么与他人合租，要么搬回欧洲跟父母同住。我很希望我能在爱尔兰和英国以如此低的成本租到同样条件的房子，但不幸的是，这真的不太可能。

The transport and the hospitals are also highly efficient too. It took me 20 minutes to see a doctor and 30 minutes to see a gastroenterologist at the hospital. It was fast, quick and effective. The medicine and pharmaceuticals are definitely higher quality in Europe versus Asia but the efficiency was just priceless. All of that for just 10 Dollars and in Korea, I was covered by the national health insurance.

交通和医院也非常高效。我花20分钟就能看上医生，30分钟看上医院的胃肠科医生。这是非常快速高效的。欧洲的药品质量肯定会比亚洲的更好。总花费只有区区10美元，而且在韩国，我还能享受国民健康保险。

I lived in smart apartments both in China and South Korea, they were not for the elite, it was pretty much the norm for ordinary people.

我在中国和韩国都住过漂亮的公寓，都不是为精英准备的，而是为普通人准备的。

Welcome to life in 2050 with basic necessities being so accessible and available at such a low affordable cost without breaking the bank.

欢迎来到2050年的世界，基本生活必需品唾手可得，而且价格低廉，不会让你肉疼破产。

It’s something I truly love and miss about East Asia, China and South Korea to be specific. I wish I could bring that back to Europe.

这是我对东亚国家真正热爱和想念的地方，特别是中国和韩国。我真的希望能把它们带回欧洲。
