My Asian roommate and I are contemplating about moving to Southeast Asia.

over/under 180 days before Asian ICE grabs them up?

We would only live there for 3 to 6 months at a time.

Less

They go out and get drunk go to the bar and start grab ass and they’ll be arrested that night

Or get beat up and left in a ditch somewhere

We will look into this is the cost of living comparable ?

The whole country is pretty affordable except maybe by the airport in Manila. I stayed in an ocean-side resort near Cebu for $65 a night through Airbnb.

Some of the more popular tourist places like Palawan and Boracay are going to be $100+ per night but they really are tropical beach paradises.

Genie could fill you in better on which ones to visit.

My son lived in Iowa for a year and it made him depressed.

Well no shit. The most exciting thing to do there is watch corn grow in real time.

For the most part, my roommate and I live a sober lifestyle.

I said 3 to 6 months at a time Mike pay attention to the thread.

You can stop wasting time on this subject because you are not going there for a month or even two months.

You have no clue what the life is over there.

You’re a lot more ignorant than I originally thought Mike. If you don’t have anything helpful to say in this thread, just get the f*** out of the thread.

Moving away from family is never a good idea

You’ll get wiped out just on plane fees coming back-and-forth

Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. We’re tired of fucking American pussy. We want more bang for our buck.
