Why don't you try the Philippines? Manila and Cebu have plenty of hackers. It's cheap, warm and friendly. And we all speak English. Singapore might be anoth

Singapore might be another consideration.
- mleonhard 18y agoDoes Cebu have air pollution like Manila?
- terpua 18y agoNot as bad. But there is a new area (city actually) within Metro Manila called Fort Bonifacio that's new and less polluted (the public transports in/out of FB are regulated). Lots of residential buildings, restos and a few office buildings designated as economic zones (you get a 5 year tax holiday on corporate income tax). http://www.fort-bonifacio.com/ http://www.fort-bonifacio.com/ The con: traffic in Metro Manila is bad (not bad in FB though). Wise to live and work in same area.
- terpua 18y agoBtw, many US-based corps/startups have presence here... Microsoft, TI, IBM, Sun, Friendster, Engine Yard, Yahoo, etc. Google gave a talk late last year: http://randell.ph/geeky/2007/11/21/techtalk-with-google-engineers/ http://randell.ph/geeky/2007/11/21/techtalk-with-google-engi...
