No, I would not pick Xiamen as a first choice. SE-Asia is heaps better. Fujian is not a good place, very snobby and unfriendly people and very cold in winter like I've said in another post. Fujian cuisine is awful also.

The only good thing is that as you can speak Chinese like myself it is easy to communicate.

I have thought about living in Taiwan before, but that is a few years off right now.
