It doesn't surprise me in the least; nor that India will be in second place. I spent about 18 months running a project out in the Asia Pacific region between 2005 and 2007, including about 4 months each living in Beijing and Tokyo, and several months each in Delhi and Hong Kong. I also got to work in Taipei and Seoul.

There's a palpable sense of dynamic optimism out there - everywhere but Tokyo - an excitement that things are getting better very fast and that hard work will get you anywhere. It's a youthful feeling, quite extraordinary. Working in Europe and the US feels tired and cynical by comparison.
