As CC in Asia become more popular you will find the free rides a little harder to find, most Asians handle money better than most Americans.
They're undeniably more frugal and tend to be very price-sensitive (except in the middle and top when it comes to "status" items).
OTOH, I've found 'em generally not to be good at valuing their own time. They might spend an inordinate amount of shopping time to save a small amount of money or, conversely, a lot of time selling at a market without very much to sell and not much profit on a sale. All the focus is on the money rather than the money vs. time.
