ChatGPT is telling me to go to Antarctica. Not sure about the cost of living there. And besides, I don't think their food game all that.

Seriously though, where have you spent a considerable amount of time and seen no roaches (the American and German types)?

Uh, don't think I ever had a roach in my condos in over 4 years in Thailand. Just an occasional gecko.

Do not go to Taiwan then.

Ohh I can confirm. It's really really bad in Taiwan. If you're out walking at night you might be seeing one every minute. So many houses are infested with the small ones too, they are literally everywhere. I was wondering if the situation in the rest of East/South-East Asia is the same.

tney have food everywhere outside, i'm not surprised

i like taipei but it was offputting to see vegetables delivered to restaurants in open mesh bags just laid out on the sidewalk, in all the dirt and whatever

really put me off eating honestly, even in thailand you only see that in wet markets, not just on the street everywhere like that
