Alex-angel, I am married to an Asian and what you say resonates true. I rent from my brother-in-law, who is eternally optimistic about prices, and there does seem to be a bit of a blind spot when it comes to the subject of declining prices. I wonder, in addition to what you say, if that is also due to the fact that for many Asians, English is still the “second” language and they don’t therefore have full access to the news and what is happening. I know there are plenty of news Chinese TV programs, and newspapers, but it’s often places like Piggington’s which are one step ahead of the game.
