Bangalore, India.
+ Reasonable cost of living (compared to the median salary of a SE) if you don't eat out much.
+ Rents haven't sky rocketed yet.
+ Thriving tech eco system/community.
+ You can get by on English. Though learning Hindi (for rest of India), and Kannada (for Bangalore) is highly recommended :-)
+ Good food and pub scene. In fact Bangalore is known as the pub capital of India! Decent night life too.
+ Lots of weekend getaway places. Himalayas is basically ~3hrs away by flight that costs ~70USD.
- Pollution, bad physical infrastructure (road, clean drinking water etc.,) that's getting worse. Owning a 4-wheeler doesn't make sense anymore. It's not needed anyway.
- Bad air connectivity to USA. Bangalore isn't a hub.
