  1. ​ @rlmint  , Nope. Malaysia it's not about individual freedoms in general, they expect everybody to follow everything the govt says and there is a common mentality thing in general. It didn't allow foreign residents in during pandemic! And one of the last countries to remove mask mandates! otherwise fine.

  2.  @pinetworkminer8377  , most people tend to be on the conservative side there in general and there is sharia for muslims, but sometimes hard to even date non-muslims there, but still better dating scene there than in socially messed up USA or some other places.
    25
  3. ​ @benchoflemons398  , definitely not a good enough place for dating women, something many say.
    21
  4.  @ThisnametaKenny  , well, it's not about whether they want or need a green card, it's mostly bcoz they are conservative. Women in Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Finland, etc in general certainly don't need any green card or wealthy guy, but much easier to date them than those in Malaysia, except for maybe in Christian & Buddhist majority areas of the country.

  5. It's not really underrated, too many foreigners go there every yr!

  6. Peru?!.. that country it's one of the worst for natural disasters and crime rates in general. it's okay just to visit or spend a few weeks maybe.
    11
  7.  @srinivasaniyer6219  , 😆😆 Well, they can't really dispose the rest bcos it is most of those of the rest that have kept Malaysia economically afloat! maybe otherwise they would. Also it seems that nowadays at least 1/3 of Malays have become more modernized in thinking, however there was a recent poll that showed both muslims in Malaysia and Indonesia having become more religious than before, and yet also softening of attitudes towards Jews and Israel. Malaysia and Indonesia still don't recognize Israel as a country.

  8.  @andresoares2110  , most of Brazil in general is still not safe, there are only a few parts and small towns that are safe. it would be safe if it copies what El Salvador has done and what Philippines did previously! not only Brazil but any country.

  9. I would say that life in Japan is affordable, safe, and even exciting to some extent, plus it's beautiful there and interesting culture etc. Drawbacks: the Japanese in general act as social robots, rarely even any handshakes, hugs probably never. correct me if i'm wrong. The frequent earthquakes may freak out some people. Also, there could be problems if any real conflict with North Korea happens in the region or if China makes some kind of open conflict.

  10. And very safe. Most think Japan in general it's expensive, it's actually usually just Tokyo and a few other cities maybe.

  11. ​ @MrFuadee  , Turkiye! not Turkey, turkey it's that big bird.

  12. Malaysia it's a developed country by infrastructure, but 2nd & 3rd rate by mentality of most people there!
    6
  13.  @knucklehoagies  , 😆😆 That's as that 1 weird guy calling the other 100 normal and friendly people as "weird"!! Frankly i don't know any country that you rarely even see any handshakes or friendly touches as Japan. They act and live as almost robots, and then bcoz of that they abuse with excessive unsolicited touches in crowded transport towards strangers they never even said hello to!!
    6
  14. Yes, as amazing as Bronx of New York! 😆😆
    6
  15.  @knucklehoagies  , Handshakes and hugs are not a "very Western custom", they happen in fact more so in non-Western countries as those in southeastern Europe, Middle East, Latin America, Africa, South Asia, etc. I only know of Japan as being maybe the only country or one of very few that you can rarely even see any handshakes, let alone any hugs.

  16. Expect the USA dollar to lose 30%-40% of its value in coming 7-10 yrs.
    5
  17.  @davelawson2564  , as in 2nd & 3rd rate countries, 2nd rate being developing countries and 3rd rate being undeveloped still backward left countries.

  18. Romania it's generally good, except most cities look a bit ugly and cold many months.
    4
  19.  @rpmrevolution  , until they make the country much safer in all aspects and with stronger/better infrastructure it may take another 10-20 yrs, if not longer.
    4
  20. Vietnam it's more fun than Malaysia and better dating opportunities, people more open minded, and more opportunities to invest in for the future, while Malaysia has great infrastructure it has most people with 2nd and 3rd world rate mentality and economy stagnant for decades.
    4
  21.  @pathkris2984  , in which areas do religious bells ring persistently throughout the day?
    3
  22.  @VS257  nope, not for your kind of people. try Thailand or Philippines instead.
    3
  23. ​ @TheShaolin015  , 😆😆 the only benefit of Vietnam is coffee?! 🤦🤦 suffering from myopia?! People are more open minded in Vietnam and better dating opportunities, plus economy it's on the upswing, unlike in Malaysia which has been stagnant for decades and where most people still have a 2nd and 3rd rate conservative mentality. However would not recommend northern Vietnam as some there still eat dogs and cats, unlike in southern part.

  24. Worry more about safety & security in Ecuador than about currency.

  25.  @pathkris2984  😆😆 where? or is it a joke you made?

  26.  @Radio280  , Bulgaria, actually it looks and feels farther east, as some place that borders Russia! overall most probably wouldn't rate this country above 3.5 stars out of 5, 4 out 5 max!
    2
  27.  @lindaking6450  , that's understandable, but consider that in places where people eat non-gmo foods and without preservatives they don't live longer there (see Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Africa, Latin America), in fact just the opposite, unless they have good quality health care and or superior diet as in Japan, Taiwan, etc. gmo foods and frozen foods have been shown to be actually more nutritious than their counterparts!

  28. 😆😆 Ghana and South Africa?! get real!
    2
  29. 😆😆 you're suffering from myopia!
    2
  30.  @tanjagak2097  , sure, if the person likes sharia, they apply that to muslims there even if foreigners or not religious muslims. however not applied to non-muslims.

  31. You have to be completely or very ignorant to assume all countries in those regions are affected by what you mention.
    2
  32. 😆😆👌🤡 So where do you see Turkiye in any alliance or grouping of sports and politics besides Europe?! and same for Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan. None have any in Asia or with Asian related!
    2
  33. For Latin America best options currently are El Salvador, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile.

  34. Could you also not believe that the avg daily salary is around $10?!

  35.  @debuthunter5389  , what reasons?

  36. Yogyakarta is experiencing a bad crime wave with many crime gangs!!

  37.  @user-xg6yc8ho3w  , I know, i was just replying to you amazement when you compared the prices to those of Western countries etc. 😄😄 The cost of living and prices can vary from place to place.
    1
  38. Can you grant it to me? 😄😄
    1
  39. ​ @TwinAAadventures  , Turkiye it's a secular country, not muslim by laws & politics. only around 30% are even religious and there is a growing wave of Christianity and Deism.
    1
  40.  @arnoldvosloo220  You are missing the big picture! Numbeo cost of living rankings include a whole bunch of stuff, including cost of buying & owning a car, buying brand name clothes & shoes etc, and less than 80% accurate in prices & costs, and obviously it can not include a whole bunch of cities in the same rankings. In Japan & Taiwan most people don't own cars and don't need them bcoz the public transport is very good and very reliable! therefore saving a whole bunch of money in that regard, among others.

  41.  @corywheeler7221  , USA the most dangerous country in the world?! 😆😆 as supposed to countries as Mali, Nigeria, etc? some areas in USA are quite safe, though much of the country does have significant crime and social issues. I digress.. Ecuador does have a few safe areas as well.
    1
  42.  @corywheeler7221  , The reality is Ecuador and USA are equally dangerous! except for small towns and rural areas maybe, in both cases.
    1
  43. why?! most that go there love it!!
    1
  44.  @arnoldvosloo220  , you're grasping on straws mate. Even most major cities in Japan and all in Taiwan are comparable in costs to those in Eastern Europe. Rents are around $300-$500 per month for 1 bedrooms, and eating out 1 plate of food costs around $3-$5.
    1
  45.  @arnoldvosloo220  , still my point was that in general actuality most cities & towns in Japan & Taiwan are quite affordable, especially in comparison to cities & towns in USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.
    1
  46. Just preferences perhaps, or forgot. definitely in general both Japan and Taiwan are affordable/not expensive.
    1
  47.  @stmpo5595  , They are in different leagues indeed, Vietnam has plenty of opportunities & growing economy and open minded & cultured & educated people, while Malaysia is stuck as middle income economy and many or most people still have a backwards or stuck mentality. As for dating women in Malaysia the fact is most of them are conservative whether one can get access to dating them or not. certainly personally i could still date some of them if i want to.
    1
  48. ​ @arnoldvosloo220  , Nope, they are not expensive except for Tokyo and maybe 1 or 2 other cities. see research for yourself.
    1
  49.  @lizkellysromero3581  , Definitely at least some of it, but even most non-Western countries have some of their own issues, just depends what kinds and to what extent.
    1
  50.  PatRisberg  , that's interesting, even in parts of Tokyo the city itself? So where do most get the idea that "Japan is expensive"? that's what i wonder about.
    1
  51.  @lindaking6450  , you're welcome. 🙂👌 there was an article about those foods in CNA, Channel News Asia of Singapore, also eating rice with chopsticks or fork prevents problems if someone has diabetes. cheers.
    1
  52. ​ @florinpandele5205  , Not really. keep dreaming. only around 30% of people in Turkiye are religious muslims, and also the people that follow Christianity are on a growing trajectory, along with Deists.
    1
  53. Good point, but still a nice place to live in.
    1
  54.  @guusgeluk3693  , yeah?, no! you're probably delusional or a chauvinist, friend. Facts and the changes that have happened speak for themselves. I'm not saying everything his govt did was good, but definitely most things! and vast amounts of progress! If you think the Turkiye of 1990s was good or better than the one now you're really very delusional, similar to believing Pakistan is better than Azerbaijan or Tajikistan better than Italy!

  55.  @Radio280  , full of buls. 😆😆

  56.  @ashanyatkin7318  , Mr. Erdogan improved the country by 20x in the 20 yrs he has has been in power!! Most countries wish they had a leader as Mr. Erdogan.
    1
  57. 😆😆 so now that it's much more safe and more multicultural it's worse?! in 1990s the city & country was still suffering from many PKK terror attacks & bombs from time to time.
    1
  58. I can't believe how many people believe what florinpandele and patnor said, according to the up votes i see on them! That's not the reality or actuality in most of Turkiye.
    1
  59.  @wanderingdoc5075  , either through a lower cost mm2h program if they offer it or by marrying a local; whether for real or as a deal to get your documents, which could involve still some money but way much cheaper than the other alternatives, probably as low as $5,000-$10,000 dollars.

  60. Conspiracy theory bullsh.t.

  61. 😆😆👌🤡 you suffer from a bad case of myopia and chauvinism along with one side feeding.
    1
  62. Turkiye. It's both in Eastern Europe and Southwest Asia, but mostly considered in Europe, just as Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, are also considered Eastern Europe! None of those countries have any political or sports affiliations with Asia!!

  63. If you're planing to save half your income.
    1
  64.  @arnoldvosloo220  😆😆👌👌🤦 and what i have been saying is they do compete in general with your examples! but okay mate, whatever floats your boat i guess. by the way, the actual cheapest 25% of cities in the world are in Africa and South Asia, but most of those are kind of crappy to live in, to say the least.
