A lot of people like to talk about Tokyo as the next start-up city for some reason.
I love Tokyo, but I imagine places like Shanghai or Shenzen to be much better. Cheaper cost of living, better economic environment (that is, despite the recent crack, China is still growing their economy tremendously)
When I went to an embassy networking event in Shanghai there were plenty of people starting new business or new offices, but a networking event in Tokyo for the same country could only muster people who worked for the big old companies for a long time.
