I live in Sydney and sometime items coming from Sydney or Melb can take longer than items coming from US

Just came back from Korea and they have ads running on trains that claims about their authority over the said islands since centuries ago and the Japanese illicitly used the island as their naval base in 1905.

I think he's Aussie so that's normal.

Sure, but it's not like companies in western world don't make similar mistake. WoW/DB3 have plenty of exploits too. Bad code are produced by everyone regardless the cultural or native language background.

Apart from having Latin-like script I don't think there is much similarity between English and Vietnamese.

Either way, isn't Japan also famous for its engineering prowess? I doubt that country with such high engineering competency will lack talent for web development simply because of the language barrier (if there is actually the lack of talent at all). I'm not saying language barrier doesn't exist but if language barrier didn't prevent them from having companies like Konami, Square Enix, Namco, Bandai, Nintendo or Sony then why would it prevents them to have more web developers?

Ruby was created by a Japanese for that matter.

I'm in Sydney but I'm seeing otherwise. Most if not all of my Chinese friends are using WeChat primarily. Sure they may have WhatsApp installed and use them sometime but if they talk to their Chinese friends it always WeChat.

Would moving overseas help then? Winter in US is summer in downunder.
