Good food is definitely harder to find in the provinces. You can get so much more options and better service in metropolitan areas, like Cebu, Manila and Davao.

Somebody didn't do their homework before visiting...

youve been there for 3 days and ur saying that...ur stupid..

We still have a lot of resources and land. Just hope we don't tear ourselves down.

Where are you a citizen?

Its the jeepney that causes the air pollution… I grew UP in Baguio ang love Baguio… but the air is awful Now.

American incomes aren't always higher than western european countries. If you're going to recommend people go remote on a Western income, it's still better to trade in British pounds or Euros as they are valued higher and then just add the US as a market. For the majority of westerners, moving to the US is a worse decision than staying in Europe or moving to Asia on location independent income.

You said having a beautiful woman and kids is part of the American, I believe that part is dead. Most American women, rather have child support and keep the house and get a new boyfriend so it would be like having 2 men at the same time. A single mother in America, would do anything to have a new man, especially if he doesn't have kids. I'm single, no kids and the difference between how a single mother treats a man she wants Vs a woman with no kids are light years apart. Single moms try to be traditional while childless women are entitled due to feminism. I have no kids because I'm afraid I will end up very miserable just to not pay child support or could end up paying Child support. I was married once and after marriage things went bad, I said no more. You know what the judge said to me after he finalized the divorce? My divorce. The judge said I was now a free man. So basically my marriage was paying for a crime. What was my crime? To love a woman. As of today, I have not met or have made any effort to find love because I no longer believe in love. Anyway, my American dream is basically have my own stuff, do whatever I want and enjoy the freedom and work on myself to keep providing the things I want. I do have one night stands every now and then but I don't get attached. But like I said, it is not priority, the longer I go without sex, the more I feel I don't need it. Anyway.....that's all I wanted to say

They should experience the %80 inflation, and see clowns in politics in Turkey🇹🇷 before complaining about their country.

That's only possible with a remote job

For me the American Dream is still there, but not how people imagine it. IMO, the current American Dream is: living in a western, civilized and rich country with a huge market with unlike other western countries low regulations and socialism. Oh and I also forgot the right to carry guns to defend yourself.

American cops are bad people following worse policies. I’m so tired of being persecuted by jacked guys that couldn’t finish highschool.

Total bullshit comment on "streets in Russia not so safe with the war" ..... its safer than EVER here .... everywhere Blad !!!!!! And I am living between Crimea and Luhansk !!!

In the West the biggest car scam of all is the "safety" test ..... invented just to fleece EU and US drivers ..... here in Russia no problem to drive and use a cell phone in a 30 year old Lada with leaky exhaust and bald tyres .... BTW the safety figures for Russia and the West are almost identical so FACT CHECKED SKAM ON SAFETY CHECKS !!!!!

i miss traveling to Russia and Russia woman who a still want to be woman :D

It's my daily for more than 4 years and perfect for my use. Plus : musical L6 always put a smile on my face.

This makes me rethink buying mk6 gti and giulietta qv

why pollute?? you didn't explore yet.

Funny thing... I heard a guy that lived in Russia for 30 years... Left our country when USSR was in "full steam". And you actually were able to describe BETTER than him the conditions. He was veryyyyy superficial and talked for hourssssss. Your video was 23 minutes man!!! Very good. The guy is still here in my country doing talks, supporting Ukrainians and being anti-Putin. And I confess... I was actually falling to the Russia side... Because you know man, the West is full of BS too! I'm West European... I live in the poorest country of it. It's not pleasant at ALL!!! When you say "you better off being poor in the West".... Idk how much low we can get! I'm seeing people without a house or a car!!! People are on the edge! We're also living paycheck to paycheck!!! $2000 is more than our salary here! Maybe it's fine for North Europeans with their high salaries... But in the South??! TOTAL different story. But I'm noticing a trend here... Because my country actually came out of a Communist revolution too and we have the same symptoms! Is this tied to Communism??? Could it be??? Yeah we also have that "I don't give a F" mentality but not in work! I can't even look at my email and I only have a 15 minute break the wholeeeeeee day. So yeah we work wayyyyyy more than Russians. Although I noticed that the people that don't give a F are the elites! You know... Politicians, ministers, presidents... Like you said... And it's the same here - if you don't enter/work in the Government, you're f*ed! You won't be going ANYWHERE. Yeah... Similar thing. Idk what it is.... But allllll seems pointing out to Communist/Left wing ideology. The thing is.... When you look at the system... It has NOTHING to do with Left wing ideology. High classes?! Some are wayyyy wealthier than the rest?! Some are more privileged?! It has nothing to do with left wing ideology. This stuff is soooooo weird. Anyways... Thanks for the video man! Hope to hear more from you! Alwayssss learning

wow... it's overrated, and it's not even rated that high

Overly expensive ; I used to have a little Peugeot in France (206+ hdi 1.4 diesel) ; it didn't cost me more than 1000 EUR per year in maintenance, insurance and fuel.

The points made here are mostly valid. What i really disagree on is work culture and wages. Those two are connected. True, there are people which waste their life with lazy jobs at low efficiency doing a bad job, and that is exactly why they do not earn much. And this is "pofigism" he talks about. Its people which care little, have no initiative and do not put their head to the task at hand. But it depends on the job, company and people. Other points are true to some degree, however not predominant. Just keep them in mind as a foreigner. Those things happen and exist. There are no pink unicorns here, life is hard for many.

Wow what a beautiful country side

Do people in the countryside in Russia have their own houses with land where they grow food? For example in many Balkan countries, many people own their land and raise cows, pigs, goats, chickens, and fruits/vegetables which they can eat all year round. Many of them even have their own water resources. Initially, they only need money to build a good house and invest in their own land. They usually do this little by little, and many of them work in Europe seasonally to send money back home. Some even have their own electricity from solar panels nowadays. I have family living like this over there and they seem to have more freedom even though they only make 400 euros a month. They don't need to buy food or water. Even if there's a war going on they aren't dependent on the state or other businesses to survive. Their culture and family life are way more intact than here in the West (I'm from Sweden). If there were an economic crash here or if we'd have sanctions like Russia have now, everyone would be starving because almost nobody is self-sufficient here. Is Russia similar to the Balkan way of life or do most people live in big cities like we do in the West?

Most of russians i met abroad, complains about scams culture also (always be careful when you buy somethings) , and the lack of honestly of people in Russia. We don't realize that in France most of people doesn't try to scams you (of course there are but it's not the majority here)

Kublai, you are right and that‘s a pity… because I liked a lot Dodo pizza over there. Just stamp it and go back to the plane.

I have been in Baguio and its cool but very crowded and hard to get a taxi there when I went last. QUESTION where are the smaller cities around Baguio that are tolerable

You're information is quite accurate. It's just a matter of choice or preference where one would like to live.

00:10 Nice, did you save or invest that money that you earned over the years though ? 😊

Only the most virgin Pacific Ocean 🌊 water 💦 that enters the Philippines and exits to various Asian countries due to the rotation of the earth 🌍🌎. Love the Philippine beaches!

Great video, Kubrlai! Thank you!

From your experience living in other countries, which country would you move to when you leave France again? I am learning from you.

You could say that it's karma since France had its colonies, but Sweden, which never had any colonies, has the same issues as France. I don't see a future living in Western Europe except for occasional vacations. I do enjoy the countries in the Balkans. Even if there are tensions due to their history, it's not common to get robbed or beaten for example. Asia is a good choice for me, so I am moving to Thailand this year.

France is a beautiful with a potential to be a paradise (landscape,quality infrastructures,food...) but unfortunatly french cities are very unsafe (a lot of strange People who consummes drugs and some agressives scums...) taxes are very high here also... And this society is very segregated (People lives together but dont mix up and has theirs own places like in the US...)

I'm Eastern European from Bulgaria and I feel sorry about Western societies. How did you guys end up in this situation? How all these Marxists came to power?

All of what you say is either carefully hidden or even totally ignored by expats in France, especially Americans. When I checked their Instagram accounts or TH-cam channels, I just thought "dammit, is there any honest person about the life here ?" "safety while we have 120 knife attacks per day ?". But I also think their French skills may be too low to have access to some informations, for instance, when I searched "knife attacks in France", I only saw the main ones, that have been relayed internationally, such has the Annecy attack. Therefore, all of people will think it's just a tragic news item, like it happens everywhere at least occasionally. When you think about moving abroad, don't search infos about your future country in your language, inform yourself with people who're fluent in you target country's languages. Because the information relay in different languages is basically a telephone game: informations in the original language can be forgotten or deformed, then, others will pick your article as a reference and write another ones while deleting informations etc.

Hey Kublai, much respect to you, you're such an inspiration!

I don’t see much danger or safety concern or food quality problem in Singapore especially is also part of south east Asia and they have one of the highest standards of living in the world 🤷‍♂️

This vlogg is just as toxic as the vlogger.

Nobody made you move to asia. Its a choice you have made on your own. You then realised you made a big mistake, and here you are attempting to advise others. That is rich of you. In case you haven't figured it out, there is no one suit that fits all

place are like foods... its doesnt matter if the place good or badm if its not suit your taste.. same like food.. there is many choice somewhere else.. good luck..

I'm living in the Philippines currently and I can say there are a lot of pros : life is cheaper than in the west, people are easy going, and women are good looking (except the one who live in a Jollibee...) However, there are cons as well : you'll always remain a foreigner, a "kano", a walking ATM. Even if you worked f***ing hard to get what you've got, locals with assume that you became "rich" because of the holy spirit, and many will try to take advantage of you (your family at law, first). You will pay the "skin tax", and you'll probably experience "tampo" (sulk) + jealousy from your clingy local girlfriend. Paradise on earth doesn't exist.

Because they have no money left 😁

6:43 Thank God for that 😊

You are right, Sir. Asean are over rated.

1 ASEAN

A few years ago I gave it a try, ended up with a lot of the same realisations as you. The foreign face always standing out, that was probably the biggest one for me. It was fun at first to get all the attention, the inability to get a good job - restrictive job market even if you're degree qualified, and under the surface there was always some form of violence or unsafe environment for you, whether it's from people trying to take advantage of you, or people getting killed on the roads - they started to wear my enthusiasm down for the place. I'm 42 now, life is just easier in Europe, spent a few years in Poland, moved to Finland, now I'm heading to Slovakia. I prefer the Slavic culture, seems to fit my personalty best.

Unfortunately I thought this might have some substance, but I am hearing is hatred ,that sex farms are not as cheep like they used to be, this married man has problems so considering the source, worry about why you want to go to SE Asia this shaded vague content is not honest or up front

Thailand is clear winner especially now with new thai visa if you like living in a 3rd world country go to Philippines

I bet this guy only been on Session Road and Burnham Park 🤦🏽‍♂️
