Which countries have 'western standards'?
What 'being Chinese' (or Sikkimese or French or Angolan etc.) might mean, when considering anything beyond mere practical/impractical political/legal identity, is a highly ambiguous concept and is rarely thought about clearly.

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM.
