What about Singapore, Hong Kong or Kuala Lumpur? The first two are definitely more expensive (KL maybe even being cheaper) but in SG and KL English is the primary language and in HK you'll be fine with it as well.
- maxkwallace 8y agoSingapore and Hong Kong are options but they're not inexpensive. Haven't been to KL personally, but from what I understand it's relatively polluted and doesn't have the same quality of life as the other three.
- askmike 8y agoI'm in KL right now and I am actually very surprised by the high quality of living here. You're right it's not on par with SG or HK but closer to those than any other big city in SEA (Bangkok, HCMC, Jakarta, Manila, etc) - while still being quite cheap. (That said most people I speak to don't share my opinion here)
- maxkwallace 8y agoWell in that case, it's awesome that you're enjoying things in KL! Glad to hear another opinion.
- askmike 8y agoThanks, you too :) To make my store complete (for anyone thinking about coming to KL), here are some precise reasons why I think KL is nice: - Literally everyone speaks English, basically fluent. - Great public transport. - Road traffic is light outside rush hours. - Huge middle class, I don't see any poverty here really (compared to the rest of SEA). A ton of nice condos, very very reasonably priced. - Mix of cultures (lots of Chinese Malay and Indian Malay) -> amazing food - Almost no crime (this is the same in all of SEA)
