I'm Malaysian, but I always hope that I can stay in Taiwan when I can travel whole world without worries my income.
my gf is taiwanese.
i'm bulgarian.
know this and that about indonesia, but very little about malaysia tbh.
taiwan seems to have attained that degree of what i'd call 'comfortable wealth' tho, for sure.
but ridiculously stubborn when it comes to anything too foreign or new (cryptocurrencies/bitcoin, weed, etc..)
I would prefere some island... nothing to fancy like Sicily.
recently read that sicily is known among some sociologists as an 'assabiya black hole' - namely, a place that due to historical circumstances not much meaningful cooperation between people can emerge or sustain itself for long, and is thus dead weight for anybody unfortunate enough to have it in its jurisdiction. it was mentioned alongside afghanistan, somalia and etc... personally, idk. couldn't care so much about italy.
I don't consider a place where people have lots of guns and they count it as a normal thing, this is USA, while European countries are safer.
not sure i entirely agree that guns are so much the issue.
maybe its rather something to do with the fact that in the US you can buy a gun, fill out your antipsychotics prescription and buy a bottle of everclear all in the same place.
my boyfriend always say norway now im curious to go there! haha
but me somewhere in Europe just don't where!
grim, cold weather all the time, sparsely populated ghost towns, everybody just gets drunk home, high rate of suicides... just because its rich doesn't mean its nice, especially to live there.
i prefer a poorer country with relaxed laws, good weather, beaches, decent food and foreign cultures one can learn something else than what he already knows from.
