    Not nessarily. I have been away from ‘home’ since the 1970s and did live and work in countless countries. I miss often some things from the previous country. Every country has some speacial things I miss when moving to a new place. When I meditate and imagine and feel I’m born right here, i feel I miss nothing at all.

    You found a much better lifestyle in Malacca than London. Very well planned architecture, modern and brand new homes and cheaper than a y western countries. I don't even have a bedboard for my bed. Can I visit you in my next visit?

    The minimum 1 million price for foreigners purchasing property in Malaysia excludes most foreigners from property ownership there. Few people have $211,000 to throw around on a property in a foreign country. The message is clear: only the richest foreigners are welcome here. It's a pity that even poor countries are getting in on this gig, and perpetuating such blatant class division between the ultra-rich and everybody else, because now the West is so expensive many Westerners can barely afford to live in their home countries. Meanwhile, all the places where it used to be cheap to live, are incentivizing millionaires to move there, and making restrictions that exclude people of more modest incomes. It seems like we are seeing a "gentrification" of the third world . At this rate the world will soon be a giant gated community. Are there any places left in SE asia or other regions of the world where it's possible to buy nice properties at prices more people can actually afford?

      To get residence there is extremely expensive and out of reach for most. But you can leave and enter every three months on the visa exemption. Just make sure you leave before the expiry date in your passport each time.

    I resonated deeply with the beautiful message at the very beginning of this video. And realized the more i watched, the more i wanted to began my travels to distant lands sooner instead of later. The energy that was put out during this video was that of kindness and compassion. You have helped to put this lovely city and its people as a must see, and must spend some time getting immersed into the culture there in the near future. Ty so much for doing this and being so transparent with your information and the ideas behind them. Hope you will find a way to share more about ur life and the experiences u have had since being there, or wherever you might go next! Namaste 🙏

    The huge thing about Malaria is that you as a foreigner can buy property. As far as I know that’s the only Asian country that allows this . But what the video did not critically mention is the high cost for getting permanent residency. It’s about 400 k USD ! You can do the 90 days tourist visa , with a visa run 4 times a year , but it’s wobbly . They could not let you back in .

    Not a bad lifestyle for about a couple of grand per month. I think you need to add some extra for spending money when you travel , also more for “ extras” like gym , massages, a few clothing items , medical , dental, cleaning lady, etc. Still for a couple of grand US per month it’s not bad. You ain’t living like that in SF for two grand a month.

    I am from Malaysia, the Malaysia Government and Malaysia Royal Police work closely with Myanmar Military / Junta that are killing everyone in Myanmar. Malaysian government is helping people kidnap innocent people and torturing them until they die. Please help raise awareness, google Malaysia abductions and youll see that these cases go cold because the Malaysian police are doing these crimes. This month a woman (Thuzar) , her husband, and three CHILDREN have been missing for 4 weeks!! I dont know her but this has raised many questions in my city and everyone wants to leave Malaysia. Please do your research before coming here, foreigners are targets in Malaysia and its sad because soon nobody will come to our country. Kuala Lumpur is a hideout for many criminals / corrupt police. Please, please, please be aware of your surroundings if you visit! There is a video of Raymond Koh being abducted by 20 people in black SUVs/bikes are have masks also, look it up! Malaysia government systematically abducts people they dont like and you never hear from them again! I advise not to visit this country until the government gives answers on all these missing people.
