Being rich in the 3rd world

[Micallef]

Malaysia is the ugliest country, both the country and its people. Everywhere you go nobody has any fashion sense and most of them have really ugly faces. (except for teenagers that stroll the malls, those can be pretty cute).

Now about Kuala Lumpur, it's the worst city to live in, besides the massive amount of unnecessary shopping malls, there's nothing to be proud of really. Congestion, unplanned roadway, public transportation that sucks.

Everything import in Malaysia will cost you 30% more and the only thing that is cheap here is food, which will give you diarrhea anyways if you don't know where to look.

Any food you buy in KL has the tendency to be exposed to the heavy smoke due to congestion. People are not nice here, crime rate is sky high. If you ever come to this god-forsaken country, please make sure you know where you at, don't go around with your DSLR like nobody knows how expensive that shyt is (1 month salary around here).

In some sketchy malls, you can get beat up for "just looking" so obviously you can't see ALL of the city.

Oh yeah, and if you happen to be a muslim, think twice before you consume alcoholic beverage at a bar, the penalty for that is public canning and penalty for drug possession is DEATH by hanging.

Still wanna come?

Clade is 100% correct.

I have visited malaysia and it sucks in every conceivable way.

You have posted some photos of girls living in Malaysia. You would have to be stupid to claim that there are no hot girls in Malaysia - obviously there are some hot girls anywhere in the world.

However, after being in Thailand in Vietnam where you see some real eye candy every 5 minutes, Kuala Lumpur was without a doubt an ugly city. All the girls were fat, wore head-scarfs and had greasy, spotty faces. They never smiled.

The city of KL is worse still. There is no nightlife apart from a couple of expensive nightclubs dotted around here and there. You walk around, just looking for a place to have a few drinks, and find nothing whatsoever. The city is like a desert. It smells, and there are vast expanses of road where you walk, hoping to find something of interest, even a restaurant, and find nothing. All you see is shopping malls selling christian louboutin style stuff, and conference centers.

Now I will be fair here - if you dig far beneath the surface, anywhere in the world, you will find something cool. However, the simple fact is that there are plenty of places (Thailand, Vietnam etc) where you don't have to do any digging, it's all there for you no matter where you are.

My sincere advice - steer clear of malaysia unless you want some big name designer brands at inflated prices, have a thing for fat spotty women with headscarves, or have a business conference to attend.

Harsh but honest.

21 years live in Malaysia..
trusT me this is 100% TOTALLY FAKE!

24 years here, you obviously haven't been to any other countries, where you see hot girls everywhere, not just 1 every 10000000. and so much into stereotyping eh? All foreigners are criminals? According to whom?

Right.

The last time I check, a Chinese guy was trying to sell me some underage porn DVD.

I swear for every "hot" girl you find in Malaysia, I can find 20 other ugly girls within a 100m radius.

Thailand is where it's at.

I have had my car audio stolen by an aquinttance of mine who
later admitted that he was jealous of my prosperity.He also
added that 3 other guys had stolen petrol from my car before.

So its like if you are rich in a poor country then there will be
people who would be nice to you and there will also be people
that will steal your stuff.

I did live in Morocco for 18 months and people seem to be either crazy rich or dirt poor. You literally see a donkey and cart being passed by a brand new Mercades. I live in England now, and wealth is far more even distributed.

Guys,

If you have money and a successful online business then its good to move in developing countries to get the money value.

I say let's get a beach side house in Thailand and call it 'Blackhat Lounge', meet up there and stay till we want. So, who's in for Thai Condo JV ??

Does anyone know some good sites similar to craigslist for rentals in these countries? I can find resorts or very expensive villas but I cannot find anything on the beachfront for less than $100/night?

I am from Colombia S.A and we do about $30,000.00 per month.

We live well but have found that owning something nice is lot more expensive here than in the US. No matter where you live or how much money you make you always seem to spend what you are making.

I have the same problems as everyone else; it?s just that my problems are bigger. I have to come up with monthly fees for private schools, guards, employees and so on and so on while the people around me are just trying to put enough money together to share a beer.

The sad part is that people around you, including your family, feel that you owe them and should support them. They don?t want to learn how you do what you do, they just want you to support them.

With 30k/month you would be considered quite wealthy here in Canada and the US, depending where you live of course but that is well above average income for most families.

I don't feel very wealthy, seems there is never enough to do the things that need to be done much less the things I want to do.

If I am gonna leave a first world country I better be able to live like Saddam in another country cheap! I like billionaire architecture in a home(s), but, also I like nightlife and fitness so it needs to be a mix along with San Diego weather. What I notice in other countries is generic apartments or housing cheaply done just like many places in the US. The difference in the US is there is access to laborers and other people who can customize or build a home and they don't have to be flown in as oppose to other countries which is very expensive for building materials and the like.

I flew out just before the trouble started. Basically, steer clear of Bangkok. The protestors are causing massive transport disruption and there is occasional violence, although the chance of you coming to harm is actually quite low.

I recommend you head up to chiang mai. It's so much smaller than Bangkok, but it's much cheaper and a lot more crazy. You'll have an incredible time.
