Similar situation. I decided to move to the Ph and took over fam. company. In spite of being perfectly happy and contented in Vancouver, I felt complacent and static. In the social sense, all my friends had long term gf's and it was rare to see them outside the rink. Dating in Vancouver is the bees knees though, can't top that.
My experience 8 months in.
I had my doubts and hesitation come out here, especially Philippines. It's 3rd world after all, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone is very entrepreneurial. I met some friends from RSA and Shanghai and we're planning to do business soon. The business culture is much more conducive for starting up something. The nightlife is intensely more fun Monday - Sunday non-stop. Plus flying anywhere in Asia is super cheap. There are plenty of north americans and europeans here too. On the downside, it's dirtier, girls are much uglier, and the food isn't anywhere near Vancouver.
I can only imagine China being waaaay more fun than PH so, you should definitely go. 110%.
