I'm not a fan. It was a bad two years for me. Expensive, aggressive, people are largely miserable (justifiably) and wildly conservative. Hard life there.
I met many amazing Georgians who I miss very much (I taught at a secondary school there and the youth are great) but I was overjoyed to get out of there.
Also, the dogs are great and the landscape is stunning. Fascinating culture and history but being back in a peaceful place is great.
Yeah, my hair is frizzled out daily but it mostly rains here at night and the rains are short. It is a relief to have rain as every day is bright and sunny. The heat can be handled if you learn to do outside stuff in the morning and evening. Afternoons are for naps and aircon!
Fast and reasonable cost. I use maxis or hotlink for phone, unifi at home and have had no trouble live streaming except far back in the mountains and jungle.
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.
In Sarawak, English is the lingua franca. Most of Malaysia speaks English.
