Yes please don't move to Malaysia. We don't need our cost of living inflated even more..
Everyone should do thorough research before moving anywhere
I lived in Hanoi for 6 months, worked out in a gym there. But can a US citizen own property there, and what are the rules with marriage?
Thanks for this.👍🏼
I’m not mocking or trolling but just asking why the need for so much use of the F word. Your video algorithm kept popping up and I decided to watch it, as I was interested in the info. But unfortunately after the succession of F words I had to stop. Sorry.
lmao dude its a communist country you have no rights and own nothing are you nuts or just high aussie saying dude your full of it.
can you talk about the gay scene in your next videos please
Can you communicate these things speaking like a professional person rather than a street dirtbag using filth in your vocabulary?
I agree with you about Malaysia but I'm Muslim from the UK so it would suit me best but I'm good with Thailand and Indonesia as well – Singapore is expensive
It's good to tell the world, what you think. But your comments to just stay short period is not very convincing. If your own country you born is good. You should not leave your beloved country.
Nah brah… Indonesia 🇮🇩 !
Need 🌊 ! Need 🏄🏼♂️ !
🇮🇩 is world class & wanita have booty 🍑!!
All other Asian countries no 🌊! flat as a Chinese girls 🍑… Tidak bagus! ☹️
KL is cool. Very comfortable & enjoyable. Prices are incredibly affordable. Easy to get fat, so much good low price food!
I didn't have ANY problems in KL… 😉
What about the Philippines?
Public transportation better in Vietnam?? come on scooter madness!!
Love Vietnam. Just expect China to annex the country in next few years.
You should talk to sanctioned Ivan he lives in Pattaya Thailand
The Philippines is a nightmare, Beg, scam, harass covers the Philippines.
After 15 years around Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, then back to Australia ….. my winner is Thailand, Hua Hin.
thank god you are not recommending Malaysia…. we prefer all the tourists go to singapore, thailand , vietnam, cambodia and philipine.
What about snakes?
Don't listen to this dude on Malaysia he talks like it was back in the mid 80s. When he starts calling locals Chinese or Indian Malay I nearly choked. I doubt his knowledge is based on not much more than a few weeks. No such thing as anything other than Malay or Chinese or Indian. The religious issue is something thats easily recognised and you rarely cone cross it as a concern. I lived there on and off for 9 years and still love the place. English is the city lingua franca. Learn some Malay and doors open. It's a great dating scene if you know the bars that attract the more westernised women. I had zero problem getting friendly with locals. However they are generally dubious about your intent, so the "3 dates no hitting on them" confuses the shit out of them. You will easily make lifelong friends in Malaysia. There is a strong British overlay in behavioural patterns so as long as you don't come on strong you will be fine. Food is effin amazing. You have at least 6 Chinese regional cuisine options. The rare Peranakan food, colonial British. Portuguese and Dutch Colonial then throw in every range of Malay and indian food and you could eat out every day and not duplicate a meal. The country has an excellent scheme called Malaysia My Second Home which makes living there permanent relatively easy. Over 50 don't think twice. Best place in Asia.
How long did you spend in Malaysia? You got it so wrong. I lived there for 10 years, loved it and made friends for life. Nightlife is excellent, and there are some crazy clubs. Only during Ramadhan do they crack down on displays of affection etc. They also actively encourage retirees with their Malaysia My Second Home visas. I'm from Oz btw.
ok, this is really about older dudes having a shot with a young woman, so you have to go where your money buys you one. Make no mistake: you will get s. x and a housekeeper, she will not look like a model, and you will be paying for her entire family all the time. She may be clever enough to take you to the cleaners. My brother-in-law, MIT graduate, went to the Phillipines, came back after 2 years with a woman 43 years younger, she disappeared in the US with his money about a week after getting her green card, his estate in the Phillipines is her family‘s anyway.
All kinds of drugs are easily available in thailand
My wife and I, both 60+, spend 4 months of every year in Malaysia, 2 months in Tunisia (pleasantly cool and dry in the winter) and 6 months here in the West. Neither of us smoke, drink or toke.
I am from the Philippines but spending many years already here in Germany.
My parents are gone, so definitely, visiting back is now less interesting. If ever i wanted to be in tropical places, i got many choices rather than travelling 16Hr. Flight. I've been to our neighboring Asian countries just as tourist and they are all interesting too like my mother land. TY for making this video.
After living mainly in Hua Hin for 3 years, I will say that Da Nang is my favorite place out of the 5 Asian countries I've explored. Bali is also nice but I always have a wonderful time in Da Nang. Now that I am having immigration bs in Thailand, I am deciding between MuiNe and Da Nang. Maybe I'll see you at Heaven or Trip66 sometime. Aloha!
Brilliant video you’re basically me at the moment thank you algorithm. I have definitely subscribed good stuff.
Don't ever sell everything and move ANYWHERE! Worst case, put your things in long term storage and go live in the area for at least 3 to 6 months. If you like it and want to give it a go for longer term, then rent a place for 6 months to a year and reassess if you truly want to live there long term. This is good for the entire planet. SE Asia is wonderful but some places are complete shit holes and other places you will find amazing. For me at 61, hanging out in tourist bars surrounded by bar girls begging for ladies drinks all day long and just getting drunk every day is not appealing.
