    I have not been to Latin America, so I can't comment on Colombia. It might be wonderful, I just don't know.
    But I'll say this: Vietnam is SPECTACULAR. The food is delicious. The scenery is out of this world, whether it's beaches or mountains. The people are friendly and helpful once u get to know them. The prices are cheap as hell and you can live like a God for two weeks.

    Colombia is not for me, 3 months and I’m sorry , can’t live like them. They really do think backwards and anything bad that happens to you , you are blame at all times. Can’t trust anyone , who wants that . I’m digging Argentina, got some more class and dignity. Colombia is savage in many ways. As far as women, there are different rules for us in Colombia. The stuff they pull with gringos, they wouldn’t dare with their own men. We kinda learned from Wes about this but he found more of a top notcher, which is unfortunate that it didn’t work out. Good video!

      It is a different situation for this RUclipsr because he already learned the local language in Colombia and the visa situation is easier in Colombia for foreigners. In Southeast Asia, he has no advantage because he does not speak Thai or Vietnamese and the visa situation for his age will require him to fork out a significant amount of money to the Thai government. In other words, there is no advantage to live in Thailand or Vietnam for him. There is also concerns of air quality issue in Thailand and Vietnam.
      I believe that South America is a better choice for someone who wants a long term living experience. Finally, No country is perfect. You just have to find a place that fits you better.

      @@aniwee17 There are tons of advantages to live in SEA over Colombia. Safety being the biggest issue. I would rather work harder and earn more money to work out a long term thing in Asia so that I can live safely than an easier long term stay option but in a much more dangerous country. Also, you don't need to learn the local language in Thailand nor Vietnam...plenty of locals understand basic English. I know cause I lived in the SEA for about 3 years total.

    Being Asian who had visited those countries before, I would only pick SE Asia over Colombia if I have a big concern with safety or if I speak their local language, fam ties etc. First the weather is not idea for a lot of outdoor activities… forget cycling. Food is way better especially for my Asian taste buds but it’s not sustainable to eat out consuming tons of MSG in the long run. Access to high quality food to cook at home is not as easy as Colombia. Third, unlike other East Asian women, viets are not shy to dress sexy and show their femininity, but it’s a long stretch if you are trying to compare them to Colombian. Typically, you’ll enjoy Latin women more in bed and won’t hesitate to show their affection. Try that to your viet gf in public.. another thing Latin women look a lot better whether they are tanned or not, viet women would pay to stay lightskinned which I am not a big fan of.

    8:03 I'm sorry to say I completely disagree about food. Colombia is extremely repetitive, bland, cooked badly and it is a common complaint amongst all types of foreigners. Vietnamese though is amazing! Tasty, fresh, healthy and very diverse. Here now and love it! (Lived in Colombia for 1 year too).

    Super work on this one Wes, vivid, colorful, well presented, and accurate. I'm puzzled why many Asians are so slow to clean restaurant bathrooms when their lives are very much in order in many other ways. Asian restaurants in my US city often get cited for health code violations. Also I think you are too kind to Colombian food as a whole, while there's nothing "good" about their street food. That's unless someone loves bland hot dogs and fries. Food though of course is a matter of tastes that can vary.
