Born and raised in Singapore - in an upper-middle class family. Things can generally be expensive, but that’s only if you want it to.

KL is pretty Urbanised and have a steady population of expats.
They also have a long line of Expat-run pubs around (E.g Bangsar/Ceylon Hill/The row/Ampang)
Housing, cars, women, food, tobacco and alcohol are wayyyyy cheaper than Singapore.
The Night life is also noticeably more livelier in KL as well.
Night markets, pubs, late-night road-side markets and snacks.

Penang is good if you like the whole 'retiring near the beach' meme.
Desaru Coast/Kota Tingi is better for that though

Vietnam is also gud.
Hue/Nha Trang is seriously serene and chill.

I worked for a couple of Koreans back when I was a waiter, I know what they're like. That being said the more I look at it the less appealing everywhere seems. Maybe I'm just being a downer but all of these places sound pretty heavily flawed/are impossible to get into. Which really only leaves SA which I have zero interest in, or Eastern Europe which is basically just a downgraded version of where I'm already at in a lot of cases.

Where would you recommend? I'm currently in Michigan because I made the mistake of moving in with my now ex girlfriend. I hate this state with a passion and I'm only staying here for six more months until I can secure a transfer within Hilton's corporate framework.

I like Washington but Seattle's expensive as shit and full of assholes. Oregon's an SJW infested hellhole, and California is California. But I'm burnt out on having to deal with winters, I grew up in Northern Illinois.

Alright Malaysia could be cool, and I may be able to use it as a jumping point to go to other Asian countries. Flying to Japan would sure be cheaper if nothing else. I'm 25 so kids aren't really a concern just yet. Also got the 6'1 blond hair, blue eye meme going for me.
