I am a Malaysian and never have any issue with Americans generally. It's the American foreign policies that make Americans look bad.
That's great to hear!
what look bad? they are indeed bad from the very start
Thanks for that u have a awesome country with a fascinating culture
What do you think of cambodia? Its easy to get a work visa and extend it indefinitely plus friendly. @NomadElite
As an American trust me we hate the US policies too.
Malaysian here.
I think we are mature enough to distinguish American and America. As long as you're respectful and understand Asian culture, you will be perceived as a such.
Agree. America is disliked across a large proportion of the globe because of its stance in certain geopolitical issues. However Americans, as you say if they are respectful and don’t enforce their culture on their host culture, and attempt at least partial assimilation then it’s all good. Coming from a Welshman with 7 yrs Malaysia, 20 yrs Asia, countless years on EU continent, 1 yr USA, 1yr Canada, 1 yr Latin America.
yep thats how the local people roll . you show respect in return you get respect , too many foreigners come here thinking it should be how it is where there from , blend into the culture and you will do fine ,
Depending on self development, Malaysia is really wonderful compared to Western culture.
We don't need to own much, 1 home, 1 car, food, health, freedom to choose lifestyle according to affordability...
Life is temporary anyway. Retirees aren't welcome in more expensive country
Singapore isn't all of South East Asia. One client isn't all clients. Move along
It's just one of many experiences shared this year, including plenty of similar experiences from Thailand and Malaysia.
Correction for yr video. No we don't hate u the foreigner. We just don't like your leader, especially yr politicians..a bunch of hypocrite 😊
We also do not like our 'elites' ...one of the reasons we're here 😅
who do you not like?
Especially in Canada, so mean to those poor foreigners.
I'm retired and living out the remainder of my life here in the boonies of Thailand. I don't care about what native people think of my nor do I care about what expats think of me. Being an introvert has advantages. As long as people leave me alone, I remain happy. I hate cities, traffic, fancy hotels and restaurants. If I am expected to dress up to go somewhere, I don't go. I'm not wealthy by any means but I am comfortable and don't have to live on a budget.
Sounds like you have created your own successful retirement! Cheers!
Thanks for sharing your humble lifestyle with us!
never let the boring thai's thai you down with their local b.s, keep up the nice life man, wish u the best. best thing to hear ''dont care what the locals nor expats think''
That's exactly what I wanted to write. In Thailand, more expats than you might think live happily in exactly the same way.
All the extroverted and often crazy people in the tourist centers who appear on social media do not represent the majority of expats.
Enjoy the peace, good health care, freedom and lower cost of living. Welcome to stay in SE Asia, keep your privacy, stay happy and healthy.
War? Really after USA learned hard lesson in Vietnam, SE Asian nations will think thrice as they no longer trust the American government and CIA.
Who really cares of citizenship and more so for the elderly.
SELAMAT DATANG
I'm an expat with multiple citizenships and have lived in different countries for over 25 years. I also happen to be a Cultural Anthropologist. For centuries, the "issue of foreigners" as been a sensitive one. It's extremely important when moving to a new country, to respect local traditions, be kind and do what you can to integrate well. If foreigners are perceived as 'stealing jobs' from local people, driving up the cost of property and living for locals, and are being disrespectful of local people and culture - that is a powder keg of problems awaiting to explode. "Bad behaviour" is never welcomed. I also think that expat communities are really dangerous. When you cut yourself off in some rarefied world, misunderstanding and mistrust build. Embrace living in a new country beyond 'great weather and a cheap cost of living.' It's not always easy, but make an effort to learn a new language, live in places where you get to meet and make friends with locals. Honestly, if we learned to be good neighbors to everyone, we will have accomplished world peace. Thanks for bringing up this issue though. After Sweden I hope to move to Malaysia (and Japan), and I've been wondering when the tipping point of crappy American or otherwise 'disrespectful rich tourist' behaviour (American is one of my citizenships) would become a problem in the region.
Respect goes both ways!
Prejudice will always be there no matter how well you try to integrate. If you look and talk different ( even in their own language but with an accent), they will still be prejudiced against you.
I have a Malaysian wife and Malaysian children. After living in Malaysia over 14 years, I was never given any Malaysian PR (applied 8 years ago). Even the Spouse Visa has been becoming more and more difficult to renew (they keep adding documents to the list) and reduced duration of each visa from 5 years to 1-2 years now. So we left to Singapore as we have business in Singapore. Lived in Singapore for 3 years and our PR application got rejected too. We heard many of our Asian friends PR application has been rejected recently too.
So, you are absolutely correct about settling down in SEA. But locals (Malaysians & Singaporeans) are very friendly and our group of friends including me felt no issue at all. I don't agree with this part of your statement.
Singapore should be way more difficult to get PR than Malaysia, unless you are a malaysian😊. We take in Malaysians
You deserve to obtain PR!
I find these difficulties to be rather interesting. How do these countries in SE Asia plan to stop the coming population collapse?Singapore for instance has birthrate just over 1 which translates to a halving of the population every generation at some point going forward.
interesting , it took me 12 years to finally get mine ,
@@markkoehn4016 Singapore is already very overpopulated. Because they have no pension and limited social security, they don't necessarily need alot of young people. The country also draws in many millionaires (usually from China) that will go through an expedited citizenship process, which draws in more wealth to the country and making the naturalization process mainly for very wealthy individuals.
I'm an American Expat. in Indonesia. Indonesian people treat foreigners very well. They like Americans and Canadians. Alhamdulillah, they treat me like a rockstar everywhere I go. If only Americans treated people the same way.
Thank you for sharing you love!
I don't have any information to confirm nor deny you claims about SE Asia. In the last 14 years I have lived in Latin America, SE Asia and Oceana. I got news for you, Latin Americans don't like foreigners either, unless they can make money off of you. I don't claim to be an expert but having lived with Colombianas, owned a business etc. in Latin America I just tell you that it's not because you are an American or a German or that for the most part; it's because they perceive right or wrong that you are rich and have more than them. 'Celosa' is the Spanish word for jealousy and it's rampant in Latin culture. Some countries like Colombia it is the root of danger often over time or can be instant. You just don't understand Latinos if you ignore this fact. Yes it is possible to own land in about 1/3 of Latin American countries with pretty good property rights. The rest of them? NO, don't buy land in those countries that don't offer equal rights to all owners foreign and domestic, that is the only thing to look for. I don't know of really any country in SE Asia that has any or strong property rights in land ownership. I am not talking about condos. All I wan to get across is that most nationals of most countries absolutely do not really like having you in their country not even Costa Rica. They do want your money, always. People will say I am wrong and that's fine. I've had may say and I've owned land and business in Colombia for instance. I had no legal problems, I just had problems with the attitudes of the Colombianos. I do want to experience El Salvador as not been there yet.
This was a great read. Thank you. Could you be so kind as to list LATM countries that offer fair land ownership to foreigners. I just want a quite retirement property when the time comes.
Paraguayans and Argentinians have been amazing to me, much better than anywhere I've been to.. Plus, I get reciprocal civil and property rights!
@@NomadElite they like you way less, they have style u dont have, the asian cultures are dull and submissive and understated. you will not get fake nor real love in greater amounts in latin america, def the opposite.
learn to not care.
Parlier: When I spent a month in Costa Rica at the end of '99, the US citizen population was 300,000. The population of CR was three million. I traveled the whole country by bus and was basically backpacking and stayed away from "tourist traps" too.
If anyone would want to escape the US why would they even consider a place that has 10% US citizens? SMH!
Thank you for this 'celoso' perspective. This is TRUE!. I am disappointed that they feel this way about foreigners but I get it.
I don’t care about owning land. I come to learn and enjoy a peaceful life.
While you may not care now, you will likely change with age. Give it time.
Immigrants from India are flooding into Canada at record numbers. there’s no mistake. They are heavily involved in the gang wars. We currently have going on here, as well as basically taking all the level entry jobs away from the youth of the area. There is a massive housing shortage and skyrocketing rents also linked they’re involved in numerous accidents as they are completely unskilled at that particular job.
Hoping the conservative government gets elected in Canada, is the only way to curb this current Crisis
Look at what countries get the rich immigrants. Avoid countries open to migrants that don't need to meet many requirements.
Over a 15 year period I have spent years of my life in Asia (mostly India) and South-East Asia (mostly Thailand) with long visits up to 8 months at a time, and I love it there.
But the way they reacted during Covid and the level of government control in places like Thailand has made me very aware that in these times of growing totalitarianism (in the West, but really everywhere) that is not the place I want to be.
We left Spain, which had a horrific lockdown with police in the streets checking that people were staying at home (and much more) and moved to Mexico.
Asians have a strong collectivist culture and are not necessarily the kind of people that will stand up to tyranny. You only have to look at the social credit system and face recognition in China to see how bad this can get. Mexicans culture is very different in that sense. Much more awareness of how important freedom is.
In SE Asia, people seem to watch each other. Not because the government asks them to do that. It is part of the culture to know everything about everyone. In that sense there is not much freedom. Every time I go to Thailand or Vietnam I have the feeling I'm never alone, I never have privacy. The security guard will ask me where I'm going. An ex girlfriend just asks the security guard what I have been up to the last days. It is a bit annoying that every step you take is watched and even documented.
In the Philippines there are 2 ways to become citizen. 1. Marry a filipino/filipina and much easy to file for citizenship. 2. When you are already staying long, you can file for citizenship through legislative options though a long process.
There is also a permanent retiree visa. Non immigrant, but still quite good.
@Bornonjuly7052: Having lived there for three years I find the PI to be the seediest place in all of SEA, no matter where you live and no I did not live in Manila or even close to it.
Of all the countries I lived in/visited the PI is infested with vermin of all types & categories. Crime and corruption are rampant in the PI too. Just about the caliber of Mexico especially in the border regions and that's just the police.
BTW, July, I have a Filipina wife and we don't live there and she doesn't even like it either. She's from a nice small town/village in N. Samar.
I just came back from multiple calendar months in SE Asia and this seems like a bit of an exaggeration lol .. I was treated great as a foreigner it’s all about how you operate as an individual .. There’s things to work around depending on where you go but it’s not impossible .. Maybe it’s a good thing people are sleeping on Asia .. Just found the channel and it’s definitely solid overall
Thank you!
South East asia is bang on by not selling land to foreigners. Has caused rampant property inflation in the West and that's one of the main reasons for living in S.E.A.
A hotel room in Thailand can cost the same as what it did 17 years ago.
The only thing I'd add to your statement is that Asia's Elite owns most of the real estate. The mainlanders park their money in Southeast Asian cities. It's better to have it in real estate than in the mainland!
Incorrect. Prices are higher
I think we can distinguish between US foreign policy and Americans per se. We are really quite compassionate and well informed and its not in our nature to be rude to foreigners. Welcome all , but yes our laws /path to residency is complicated.
Yes asia is not the same anymore, it’s not a ‘free to do anything without repercussions for western people’ as it was in the past. Good foreigners are treated well (as in any other countries), and bad foreigners are looked down upon.
Singapore:
Prior to 2010, there were approx 24,000 PRs per year available...
After that, it was cut in half or less available.
Then, they are divided into allocations, based on your origins..
I have an EP, but I applied for my PR and I was rejected 3 times, so I gave up, and still an EP..
I suspect that the remaining PRs are reserved for the "desirable foreign investors...
Will you remain in Singapore?
I can see your point of view. As an American I still prefer investing in property in America. I have permanent residency in Mexico and the Philippines. Right now I don’t want to buy property in either country. I know that May change.
Also gotta realize if Americans could easily buy property in SE Asia the prices would be very much inflated….
They overbuilt in pretty much every Southeast Asian city. Real estate prices haven't appreciated over the past few years. The excessive apartment projects didn't come about because of demand but because they didn't know what else to do with the money. It's wealth preservation.
@@NomadElite i know so many westerners in the Philippines that would buy land if they could hold title. Some that are married with and without children buy land and hold in spouse or child’s name.
I never realized how much foreign buyers can influence pricing until I saw what the Chinese buyers did to home prices in Canada 🇨🇦
@@herbigpeven in some third world countries the foreign chinese buyer have made realestate super expensive.
@@curmjp1234 agreed! I am waiting to see if the internal Chinese property crisis will affect all areas they helped inflate outside of China
I have lived in a few different countries and it's true to say that different individuals who move to the same country will have different experiences and perceptions. I'm from the UK and was thinking about moving to the Philippines but I won't be doing that now because I can only own a condo. I also found the bureaucratic red-tape in the Philippines to be crazy. The scale and depth of poverty there was also depressing for me - especially considering how wealthy the bureaucrats are. That being said, most Filipinos are friendly and welcoming. I would still like to go back to the Philippines for a holiday and I would like to checkout 'Bitcoin Island', Boracay.
VERY INTERESTING❤.RICHARD FROM ECUADOR.LIVING IN ECUADOR 18 YEARS.
Good to see you!
The biggest problem is real estate speculation when foreigners buy property like in the USA the locals suffer Miami San Francisco and many other cities other countries are just trying to protect their local population weather Mexico or Thailand ects . Property rights aren't always guaranteed anything can happen anywhere just ask people who fled after their property was siezed.
Where would you like to own property?
You mentioned only Singapore & Malaysia but they are not the only ASEAN members. There are still 8 nations more in ASEAN.
The Philippines has been the most consistent; that's the country I'd recommend to working class or middle class expats.
No one can deny south east asia has economic power now. China and usa are putting industries there. 600 over million people.
I´m French and lived in SEA for 15 years before moving to South America where I reside now for 17 years. Loved my time in SEA, but I´ll die in South America as I feel like home here!
Hi Thomas! Where do you live in South America?
@@NomadElite São Paulo - Brazil, but I travel regularly to Colombia, Ecuador and Perú for business.
Thanks God i have already Malaysia permanent residents and I have too Indonesia permanent resident ,, hopefully people learning one country is never will be enough in this time of the world .
Good to hear that you obtained permanent residency in Malaysia.
By law Malaysians are not allow to have 2 citizenship, I don't know about PR
i am not Malaysian citizenship and i don't care about it also .
I am only Malaysian permanent resident,, so i can have any many other citizenships or permanent
residents as i can got it from this world.
@HazemAbdalla-zh1ju Alhamdulillah 🤲
If you live in a foreign country, you need to be fluent in the local language to feel the connection. As a Khmer Canadian from Quebec, I'm fluent in English, French and Khmer. There are Americans or Canadians who are so fluent in Khmer that the locals treat them like one of their own.
Good for you!
Becoming fluent in the local language is a must for integration. Thank you for your input, Tommy.
You are not a brang, so you would not know.
Khmers are nice for the most part, but the way Cambodia treats you is different from the way they treat the " brang" because our face is different. And definitely Khmers are nicer than the Thais.
Having said that, when the Pandemic started, I was in Cambodia and immediately, the locals changed. Many stores adopted a " no borotes"and " no brang" policy. My friends were barred from hotels, shops, restaurants, hair salons, etc. Bang! overnight! Doors slammed in people's faces.
They did not blame the Chinese, but it was the " brang" that were at fault for the Covid.
I was walking down the street and these youngsters on motorcycles yelled " Korona!"" Korona!" at me.
I had a job in KH and I left. I was becoming very, very unfriendly.
I may want to go again, but I am hesitant. I went to Mexico after Cambodia and no store barred me from entering.
They even had signs that it was prohibited to discriminate against people because of race, religion, etc.
I felt relieved.
@vidong: I myself did not experience that C19 behavior except at only one restaurant. "High class" (not) Kymer place on Pasteur St in Duan Penh.
I see a lot of good Americans but a lot of times you see the very few bad actors that ruin it for the rest. That is why I try to be respectful when I travel. Good thing I am Asian 😂😂😂😂
I don't have to deal with the stigma either since I'm half Asian. I'm very grateful I can travel without being judged.
Living in any part of the world comes with its own unique set of advantages and disadvantages. We are sure to encounter the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of a place. The key factor is whether the chosen location aligns with our preferences; that is what truly matters. No one should impose their choice of residence on us. If we find ourselves dissatisfied with a place, we have the freedom to move on, knowing that someone else will take our place. Different regions cater to diverse individuals, each with their own unique tastes and preferences. Instead of complaining, it is more beneficial to adapt and embrace the local culture, gaining a deeper understanding to smoothly integrate into society. Perhaps the issue lies within us; only through open-mindedness can we uncover the root of the matter.
Thank you for letting us know.
Everything is fine, life is good in harmony.
That's good to hear.
Not to worry as foreigners has option to fly back to their home country unless they've surrender their citizenship.
Interesting
Is there a negative vibe re Aussies as well in Singapore and Malaysia?
If anyone is feeling generous, what about Cambodia too?
TIA
I love Malaysia as well as the variation and quality of food there must be the best in the world. I love the laksa soup.
Sarawak Laksa is the best for sure!!
@@NomadElite, yes. Breakfast of the gods...as Anthony Bourdain called it.
@@NomadEliteYou got to try Laksa Johore
Best in the world? Please recommend Michelin star eating place in Malaysia. I have tried the Penang Laksa and totally loathe it, sour and fishy!
I wouldn't settle in SE Asia if I was young.
..or anywhere in Asia for that matter
23 years here btw.
I can't wait to get tf out
Why? What is so bad about it?
I am considering moving there, I only visited briefly 15 years ago so don't know much.
Are you in the right paradigm? I agree totally that Boomers need more security, as times ahead appear super risky. But exiting the financial markets for something less risky, like real property, seems vastly more relevant. Boomer money in stocks, or bank deposits, or even pensions, WILL NOT be protected by moving to Paraguay or anywhere else. Whereas if you have a house, bought and paid for, even in a Shit Storm Central location like California, you may still be okay. Yes, you have to raise enough cash for a carton of eggs every week, and pick some fruit from your garden, but life goes on. But If derivatives crash the market, or your deposits get bailed in, or inflation decimates your pension, no matter what country your car is parked in, you will be living in it...
What changed since 2020 about Canadians and Americans? (The perception in SE Asia)
Yes, people's perception change, yet they don't want to admit it. Good job pointing it out!
Im Indonesia yes of course im happy
That's good to hear!
no thanks.. so far south east asia still the most stable and safe compare with other region.. and no war in the last 30 years in the region (except civil war in myanmar).. peace amongs neighbor..
Never take anything for granted. That's the kiss of death! China's growing middle class will require more resources than ever. It's why the mainland is expanding so rapidly.
@@NomadElite : thats for sure.. but i think china wont do it bluntly to take other resources..what i see in south china sea, all china do only posturing gesture, they are not really using millitary weapon.. their culture is trading.. so at the end they wanna ask for a negotiation that lead into trade..

Hi Patrick!
My heart still in Indonesia, wish could retire there, but now Canada-Turkiye for earning❤
Greetings from me as Malaysian. No offence please sir. How old are you sir if I may ask. Been travelling around the world all your life? Been got along very well anywhere I presume. Wish could meet U in person. Thank you sir. Live well.....and long.
I spent lots of time in Malaysia and Vietnam. Loved it!
Costa Rica here. Very free expensive county.
Welcome
The undeserved reputation will only get worse. But I think as long as you're around educated Asians with money you'll get benefit of the doubt. I think, though, that immigration will become more and more difficult. But I honestly don't know a better place to be than SEA.
Other wise don't come, go to where you are comfortable.
I do not know Malaysia,but I know good the Cambodia and Thailand that are Buddhist country and I never had un issue.I rather stay in those countries then many others in the west.
Brazil is the best place there is my man!
Tell us more!
The demographic of immigrants into SE Asia has changed. More HNW individuals from East Asia e.g. China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan will move to SE Asia. These individuals don’t mind to purchase properties because of they have deep pockets and properties in their own countries are very expensive. Also, Muslims HNW individuals from developed countries e.g. the UK, Canada, the US, Australia and Europe are also going into SE Asia in droves especially Malaysia. It is basically easy for them to practice Islam in Malaysia. For the west expats purchasing properties for long term and not getting PR are a big “No, No”. May see big exit for this group to other continent e.g. Central and South America.
What about to retire in combodia old man from USA. Just live another 10 years maximum
Follow your heart, my friend!
@@NomadElite follow my heart. I need your wisdom and experience
I would absolutely go for it. It’s a peaceful, high-trust society and with Buddhist countries, it’s basically the Golden Rule all around. Which is better than I can say for the US at the moment, even in sleepy New England where I’m from. The West is slowly collapsing if you’re brave enough to be honest about the situation, can make a few obvious observations, and can connect the dots that are SO close together. I’d imagine you’d have a much more peaceful and fulfilling experience living the rest of your days in S.E. Asia. Good luck!
I moved back to America ( but i have a long term visa to Vietnam) reason i left 1) no social security 2) no disability benefits 3) i cant own land4) polluted air,water,food 5) visa laws change like crazy so you cant settle down ( im white this is my wifes account ) vietnam used to be so cool and the people where getting richer until the government starting working with china ( now vietnam is super xenophobic and they are getting poor no foreign investors) and vietnam lost all its charm ( i miss 2004-2017 vietnam) vietnam is shiattt now honestly

The truth/facts more people have moved to South East Asian than South American countries, due to higher techknowledge and advanced economy, cost of living, dynamic cities/rich natures, safer for foreigners and stable governments, culture richness and opportunities.
I like South America more but most countries there are run by socialists who are creating high taxes
SEA is a safer South America.
Traveling in Southeast Asia I have been impressed with how uncritically public opinion there adopts the propaganda of Russia and China with respect to events in Ukraine and Israel. Any idea why? It seems anomalous given that Southeast Asian nations are otherwise unfavorable to Russian and Chinese imperialism when it directly affects them.
Another banger of video, Gerald! Thank you for steering me clear of SE Asia as I had thought about teaching ESL there as a backup plan some day. Your Latin American videos have been very helpful. I liked that you had shared your harrowing experience with road rage while you were in Mexico. I look forward to more of your videos about Paraguay, Argentina, and anywhere else in South America you choose to pitch.
Thank you, Chris! Glad you liked it.
Honest question. Why would anyone want to "settle down" in a single place??
People with kids prefer to provide a stable home for them.
That's a great question, Todd.
@@SARWSiddiqui You van live with stability in multiple places with kids
Age. And increasing difficulty as you try to learn your umpteenth language. And a sense of needing more security as once again your life’s savings are stolen. All good reasons to think of settling down.
You want to have a home base. Because you have a wife ,children and family. Slow travel is great. But so is coming home.

Interesting, but I don't think you can generalize every countries in SE Asia the same. Each country has different policies, culture and value.
You can't own land in most countries and citizenship is very difficult to impossible.
@@NomadElitethey almost never naturalize people here. I remember one old lady got naturalized and that made news here in the Philippines coz that rarely happen
The reality is China is the dominant country in Asia and when the expected war erupts between China and America,whose side will the rest of Asia take? Even is America wins which is not assured they will go home and leave behind deep resentment as happened in Europe.
It's not that bad, many Chinese live in new york, California, Canada. I heard America can technically move to china, just not many people do, only about 100,000 in mainland China.
You are probably correct BUT it's not a new problem and Westerners are not the only ones they resent. I have lived in SE Asia and had my share of honest conversations and I don't recall too many Asians in love with the Chinese either. Everyone loves who they make money off of and the day the stop making money they don't like them any longer. I will never be anything but a foreigner to them, I accept that and mind my own business, keep inside my lanes, don't flirt with their daughers and don't fuel any fire of dislike. So far I've managed to project that personal and people in general just leave me alone which I prefer. I'm an interloper, I know who I am in their eyes.
if the war broke.. doesnt matter who win.. whoever win will be broke as hell.. especially if they using nuke attack.. thats also effecting whole world..
Many of China's neighbours are dependent on the Chinese economy. ASEAN was created as a pro American, pro 'west' organization, today its trade with China is almost $1 trillion : the world's largest trading relationship ; there is no way Asean can join a containment policy against its largest trading partner.
Almost every country in Asia will take the side of America, except maybe a few in Southeast Asia who might be neutral.
There is absolutely no way Japan, India, Korea, Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea or even Vietnam (despite it's history with the US) will take the side of China. All of them despise China. India has the second largest pure force in terms of military in Asia, and Japan is rearming itself. Both countries aren't really China friendly.

As a Singapore citizen, I think most Singaporeans wouldn't want foreigners to naturalize as Singapore Citizens unless they have a child that would be liable for military service or contribute to the country significantly through financial means. Alot of foreigners have National Service as their biggest 'Worry' about getting Singapore Citizenship and try to look for ways to dodge it for themselves or their children, but doing this is exactly why most Singaporeans don't think fondly of them naturalizing. It's seen as trying to reap all the rewards of citizenship without any of the civic duty that comes with it.
Singapore is the most expensive city in Asia unlike Kuching in East Malaysia one of the high income state in Malaysia...i'm sure you know how is life in Sarawak.
Don't we love Kuching?
For the 2 fool's here, it's impact South east Asia and Middle East and Africa sure more because it was always hot without Winters, so for sur people will move because it becomes not liveable
Asia has gotten too expensive, restricted and racist toward white American men. It's the polar opposite of when I lived there three decades ago.... in the 1990s and early 2000s places like Thailand was a literal paradise for Americans.... Nowadays not so much. Yes, the lifestyle is still better than most Western countries, but there's better deals elsewhere.
where?
@@reyflaco1840 "outside" the Valeriepieris circle
Well, with Thailand so many farang have made a bad reputation. And the red light industry income has skewed the cost of living for the locals. A lot of them aren't having kids because of the costs. The birth rate has gone lower than 1.5 per woman. I'd rather live somewhere where the foreign money hasn't made locals' lives harder.
Yes you can go somewhere else where they worship you just for being americans / white.
You are right and vice versa, the problem is the same with the other countries and regions. Protectionism, biased and racial sentiments reign all over the world at this moment in time.
Where would you prefer to live?
This is ridiculous.
Malaysia and Singapore are like trying to date women in America. Those are two very developed Asian countries and I would never waste my time and money in those two Asian countries as a single man.
Fair enough!
Who runs the government really does matter, doesn’t it? Being American, Canadian, Australian, UK, New Zealander, etc. isn’t as attractive to the rest of the world over the last several years, is it?
What country offers the best residence permit?
jeeeeeeeebaaaaaal
Except singapore and brunei most asian countries have weak currencies. Buying properties may depreciate.
However singapore and johor have SEZ. Special economic zone. So singapore expands their industries on johor land(abundance). Similar to hong kong and shenzhen.
Hard working black people deal with this everywhere
Brown and black skin people are perceived as less in Europe. Doesn't stop them going there.
people dont like is american goverment , not about american people .
You mentioned the probability of war in your video and sadly it could be a reality judging from the disturbing behaviour of those warmongering politicians in the west. They need to realize that the rest of the world just wants to live in peace.
All wars are banker wars..politicians are just useful idots
It's China that is the concern.
Many of China's neighbours are dependent on the Chinese economy. ASEAN was created as a pro American, pro 'west' organization, today its trade with China is almost $1 trillion : the world's largest trading relationship ; there is no way Asean can join a containment policy against its largest trading partner.
South America and South East Asia are totally different places, in term of culture, food, living standards, costs of living and safety......
War in South East Asia? not sure how you can predict this, why there is no possibility of war in South America.
Trajectory matters. Period.
China. USA is practically the only superpower in the America. China however is flexing in Asia and everyone here don't like that.
Because your think in western world and don't respect te people
Only 40% American hv International Passport
Crazy
And half of those passports only go to Canada, Cancun, or a Caribbean cruise. The average American only travels to 7 States in their lifetime. But they are the most traveled citizens in the world. Remember the USA is a huge country. And each region is like a different country.
Good boys stay home Bad boys go to Pattaya.hhhhhhh😂😂😂😂🎉 take care
lol
I'll stay at home, going over my insect books.
@@boink800 like every austrian...
U want to live best nation..go to nation rule by king
Like where?
wow
You mean Brunei, Saudi Arabia, or U.A.E.?! Expats living there may disagree vehemently...
Buy a yacht and live on it, Thailand gives 10 years (incl extensions) without exit. But I like to exit to taxfree Langkawi (Malaysia) case beer $10 (dark 7%) diesel $1.5/gallon, floozy Thai girls $15 a night.......
Bai bai
Tourist ok,permanent residence no!
Exactly
muslim?
if u think latin america will embrace u with open arms and consider that region compared to s.e. asia .....
lol think again!
The proof is in the pudding. We have over 100 videos comparing residence permits across the world. Latin America is more immigrant friendly. Period.
i know this is just some random joke & casual topic but SEA except the foolish PH will not going to side US in case of a war against our country. other SEA countries are well-aware of history (colonial up to WW2) & what US is up to
As Malaysian not sided to US doesn't mean that we sided at yours..you are no different with US regarding your greedy in south china sea..
Brah, you trying to steal from everyone. You have border disputes with all your neighbors. You think they'd side with you, after all the disrespect they received from you?
I like (sarcasm implied) how you (erroneously) lump in Canadians with Americans, even though we are totally different countries. I would also like to add that the arrogant, offensive way Americans view the world is very different than how Canadians view the world. Unlike the USA, we have never invaded a nation (we did it to you and won but we were provoked because you attacked first), we have never conquered an independent nation (at least not alone) nor have we occupied an independent nation (e.g., Japan, Germany, Grenada, ... you get the picture). We also don't have military bases around the world, thereby insinuating to the host country of who actually is in control of their country. I get your point ... many foreigners can;t hear the difference in the accent as so we sound the same. (Americans, however, speak very nasally and mispronounce their "T's" and their "D's" tend to be silent, e.g., "Tonawanda, NY becomes "Tonawanna, NY"), But, as a Canadian, I can pick out a yank at 50 meters as soon as they say hello to me..
And if they're identifying themselves as a Canadian (because of their shame at being labelled an American abroad), I immediately pounce on that and start quizzing them on what all Canadians would know -- from provinces territories and their capitals, to names of NHL teams (ice hockey), hockey stars, geography, history, political parties, political leaders, etc. Anything and everything that is Canada. After I have my 5 minutes with them, they instantly start regretting that they identified as a Canadian. So far, all of them have given up in the end and admit that they are yanks, not Canucks.
And here's a tip for all foreigners. Ask anyone identifying as a Canadian, "Who won the War of 1812 in North America?" All Canadians answer "We did" ... while all Yanks answer "It was a draw." And you have them right then and there. You see, Americans can't admit they have ever lost a war. To them, even Vietnam was a tie ... LOL! In the War of 1812, the US invaded Canada (British North America at the time), with the intent of conquering Canada. In the end, the British had massive amounts of land in Michigan and New England while the Yanks had virtually nothing.
If you invade a country with the intent of taking it over and you fail in that mission then, by definition, you have lost. But Americans can't admit this. Yanks tend to live in this fantasy world where they're the best and they can never fail at anything ... yet, the War of 1812 proves that they have. Canadians, on the other hand, know that, like all nations, we are sometimes great at things but we also have our shortcomings.
Yes, Canadians are proud of their heritage and history, but not as the Americans with theirs. Yanks tend to be more arrogant, offensive and off-putting like: "Ra! Ra! Ra!' and chanting "U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A!" at all their sporting events and political rallies. Canadians have never shouted out "Ca-Na-Da! Ca-Na-Da! Ca-Na-Da!" to anything! And that's how we're different.
I lived in Panama (another country the Yanks invaded). Once I identified myself as a Canadian instead of a Yank, their whole demeanour changed. They were friendly and courteous. But when they thought I was a Yank, they didn't even give me the time of day (even when I asked in Spanish).
So please ... in future, do not lump us Canadians with you Yanks. We are VERY VERY different people. Besides which, we're better at (ice) hockey than you could hope to be! 😁🤣😂
Well you are part of NATO. 🤣
It's normal that Canadians zre perceived in a bad way. Look what they do to those poor foreigners in Canada , they ban them from purchasing a property so why should they be well treated and welcome? That wouldn't be fair. They are so mean.
While climate change impacts the whole world, SE Asia, Middle East and Africa will get much more severe impact. Within the next 5 years, people will be trying to leave SE Asia much more than move there.
@jpny4750 You watching too much mainstream media.What climate change!!!. I hope you never believe in scam called pan….c
why do you think those regions will be more affected? Plus its just geoengineering
How climate change impact SE Asia more severely???
You are not an expert, how can I trust your opinion? lol
It affects the poorest in planting etc but they don't have the means to leave usually. Richer people are fine. Do you see people leaving Dubai because it is hot there? People adapt to hot temperatures better than cold ones
