Malaysia is wonderful. I have lived here for most of the last decade (made a mistake and moved to Georgia for two years but am back in MY now). I can go anywhere, anytime without any chance of being harassed or bothered in any way because of my gender or, frankly, any other reason. I love it and have no desire to ever leave!
Also, so cheap. In Tbilisi, I could only afford a one bedroom creaky apartment with drug dealers downstairs. For the same cost, I have a huge four bedroom gorgeous well-appointed house in Malaysia with a substantial tropical garden just 5 minutes from a breathtaking beach. Yeah. I love Malaysia.
Honestly the only downside of a place like Malaysia is its heat and humidity. I've never been there but I guess it's similar to most countries in SEA region. Very hot and humid. Some people love that but others like myself, couldn't stand it. That's the only negative I can think of Malaysia.
I hate the heat and humidity so would never move to any SEA country.
Me too! That's the only reason I don't move there, despite loving many things about the regions and its cultures.
You get used to it after a few years. Still hot as fuck but somehow you stop noticing it.
I see! I'd still miss the crisp air of winter, the winter clothes and......but it's good yo know the body adaps to most temperatures!
