🥰 thank you for loving my country 🇲🇽viva mexico haha many tourists from all over the world and people are very kind and friendly 😊and they love tourists specially asians in mexico many tourists can get free food and things 😊and they ask for pictures taken even Japanese have gotten free food breakfast lunch and dinner 😊
Mexico? Because it is close to US, cheap, and weather I guess. Mexico can be rough depending where you go. Portugal was hot during lockdown for digital nomads.
Japan is on there because Japan is very low on the social life because Japan is hella hard to make Japanese friends even if you speak Japanese. Like Korea, you can be in Japan for 15 years and people will still ask, “oh when are you going back to your home country?” Or will still treat you like you know nothing about Japanese culture.
I’m my opinion the cost of living isn’t THAT bad. But random shit will be very expensive but other things are cheap AF.
Last, your career path is very small, just English teachers. And it’s always cool and shocking when you meet someone who “broke out” and doing something else.
why is David wearing long sleeves? It's as hot as he..ll right now.
My understanding was that property and rent has gotten extremely expensive in New Zealand lately. Otherwise I don't see a problem unless they've tightened immigration requirements as well.
Burmese guy, who grew up in Singapore then moved to Cali at 15 here! Interesting list!!
When I retire I’m going to Taiwan.
Vietnam should be up there. Great internet and amazing food. You guys should do one specific for Asian Americans because there’s discrimination in some countries against Asians so taking a survey from mostly caucasians would not paint a complete picture.
NZ punches above its weight in PR. Before moving to NZ I thought it'd be like any other Anglo developed nations. But it's actually a tiny country by population – 5mil in a land slightly larger than the UK & not very close to other population centres. If you love the great outdoors then you may love it here – though climate change is making some areas unsafe at the moment (landslides & flooding). But for consumerism NZ sucks 😅 For the same reasons it's hard to sustain high paying jobs. Many go to AU for better pay. Prices here aren't cheap either. The big agricultural sector can make more $ exporting, so locals don't really benefit. Homes here tend to be sold by auctions which pressure buyers into overpaying, sometimes even without the chance to do proper building surveys.
Toxic work culture is not a good thing if you're an expat ( immigration to work )
I wanna be friends with yall 😲
The one thing people need to realize, you need to speak the language of that county to be successful. I worked in corporate positions in silicon valley for many years. One day while sitting in one of our department meetings, I wondered "if I could not speak english, how would I do my job". Simple answer, You can't.
I don't hate S.Korea, or Japan but they are too expensive
and too homogenous, and too structurally hierarchical like a military, too Confucious, too seniority, too conservative, too status quo,
and too protective against foreigners and their cultural influence, no fairness, no legal protections, work/job toxic and bullying and abuse are very common
in these two countries and therefore, the locals discriminate against the
Expats and foreigners and have a biased attitude toward them!! Unless you have a strong command of their language and are famous like Tom Cruise
and have strong connections and skills and talent and power and money…you are going to have a hard time "fitting in" and becoming
successful in life in Korea and Japan. There are not that many opportunities in these countries for average ex-pats and foreigners except for teaching jobs!!
I will go as far as the locals in Korea and Japan don't easily tolerate, accept, and embrace foreign people even
if you have Korean and Japanese roots/ethnicity unless you have all these strengths as I mentioned above!!
That is why S. Korea and Japan can never be true global Asian hubs like Hong Kong or Singapore.
It's something I have trouble accepting because I think it is wrong and unjust and shallow, to be honest!! But these two countries have a lot of positive sides too.
It s not all bad and stuff such as safety., public transportation, and the health care system is really good to compare to the U.S.!!
The Fung brothers are 100% right. It really comes down to your personal preference, current circumstances,
your tastes, your lifestyles, how comfortable you feel in a particular country, and much more. Lastly, everything changes as time goes by and
your preferences and priorities will change along the way as you get older and as your circumstances change. Nothing stays the
same in life. Everything changes!!! Good luck on your life journey and always remember, don't worry so much, and enjoy life. Life is too short to worry and hate!!
Peace~ I love Fung Brothers. Keep up the great work guys!! You guys are truly inspirational!!
Malaysia is due to Low costs property housings, cheap petroleum, cheap electric bills & damn cheap water bills, stable internet access & lastly friendly people with no “Karen” running around 😂
I hear Korea's easy to visit but hard to stay. Heard immigration process is harder to get a legal residency (equivalent to US Green Card) than becoming Korean citizen.
Expats are often retirees or people with passive incomes. Japan and Korea are expensive areas with low English proficiency. While countries like the Philippines and Mexico one can live comfortably on $2000 to $3000. In the Philippines most people have a working understanding of English.
I’m buying a home in Mexico in case the US and China go to war. I’m not Chinese, but once the war starts, we’re ALL going to be “Chinese” (if you know what I’m saying).
It would be cool to see you guys in Mexico City and other major cities in the world, London, Paris, and so on
Wait…Bahrain is ranked 9th?! GTFO of here. I've been to Bahrain, there is nothing but hot temperatures and high humidity and desert. I would never move there. I can't take this list seriously.
The Philippines 🇵🇭?
American expats=traitors
Didn’t realize Mexico was an Asian country, that’s news to me! 😂
June Lovejoy : photographer / adult filmmaker Holly Randall ("Unfiltered") youtube channel) did interview on Lovejoy, an American who did get work in a very popular niche (global $6-$97 billion dollars industry) entertainment field. For my first two choices to have a holiday/vacation, it would have been either: Canada or Mexico. ( I need to checkout Japan or Okinawa (the Ryukuan Islands). ) my very first (South-East) Asian trip, ever outta the States, was only for 2 weeks: Bangkok, Thailand; then, to checkout Ta Phrom ("the Tomb Raider" temple ruins, made famous by Angelina Jolie) & Angkor Wat, which was cool; in the dusty area of Siem Reap, Cambodia.
expat means to me is someone in their country and the company in it sends someone f their company work purpose. i don't think it's someone who travel to another country to get a job!
Survey done by broke ass wxxxe people.
Judging by the countries that made the list, it probably boils down to cost of living. The same expats that are living in SE Asia would gladly move to Japan or SK but you'll be subjected to the same inflationary pressures that plague the West. And as a foreigner, it's probably easier to get ahead in SE Asia because Japan and SK are so highly competitive and well educated so it's harder to stand out.
One thing to mention is how much privilege people have over the locals. This is another reason why Japan and South Korea rank so low.
An image in the thumbnail for this video is not the truth. Mexico is not an Asian country. /
Cost of living, health care, and visa create the priorities
Korea is for Koreans and Japan is for Japanese 😉
I travel to Canada 🇨🇦 often, Philippines 🇵🇭 less often than Canada. Singapore 🇸🇬 not as often as Philippines.
Mexico 🇲🇽 is not as safe as Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia 🇲🇾, Vietnam 🇻🇳, South Korea 🇰🇷 or Japan 🇯🇵.
I disagree 👎 with this survey. I prefer any of the Asian 🌏 nations over Mexico.
i am wondering Mexico no.1? or is this so called expats Americans exclusive only that's why its number 1 because its near America'. and American's most work/business are their and its near
this list is NOT about which are cool cites to visit. To live in Japan as a non-Japanese citizen is a vastly harder more hassle filled life then living there as a Japanese citizen.
USA is pretty low on the list too, #30
CDMX is full of Asians, so is Aruba
if you East Asian, don't go to Malaysia or Indonesia, racism there spread so good through religion
As Asian-American, I am thinking of retiring in Korea, Thailand, and Japan in 10 years. I was just in Korea and Japan a week ago and it was great. With my retirement fund, I will be able to live very comfortably.
Stop calling it expat, it's just white losers teaching English don't want to call themselves immigrants.
I was just in CDMX and was surprised how many asians i saw there. I stayed at the China town in the central part of the city. And in the more upscale west-side part of the city I saw a bunch of Koreans. Even a Korean church was there singing and praying for the city didn't expect to see that in Mexico City lol. It's also a very crowded city. So if you're not used to big cities i wouldn't recommend living there Besides only visiting.
Even I was born in Japan moved and have lived in US well over half of my adult life, going back to Japan to reestablish myself feels like nightmare. Their unspoken resistance to newer and foreign ideas and custom which people who lived there entire their life can't realize they've been dwelling in (similar to the demographical privilege issues in US) and of course the cost of living raise the hurdle higher and higher…
Mexico? Really?…. Ya maybe of you want your fucking head cut off by cartel lol. And if it's so good for xpats why is it so terrible for locals?…
LOL Saudia Arabia beats the United States LOL
I've lived in Korea for 10 years and never leaving~ (safe, good cheap healthcare, nice people, great food.) If you live outside of seoul(and even still near a subwayline) it's way cheaper.
Thailand would be my number 1 choice, because I was born there and Thai King's ancestors from my hometown in China. By the way, I'm Chinese American.
Don’t care for Japan or South Korea. Socialism and xenophobic not on my list.
Why Philippines? For Western expats, if you take away the 'bad' things from each country, then the possible reasons are: no language barrier, little-to-no culture difference with the West, cost of living is cheap, tropical country, majorly Christian/Catholic, expats are treated fairly if not highly, and it is a very welcoming country known for its hospitality.
🇰🇷 coolest country in Asia 2023 🌏 what happen Japan haha
Interesting! Checked out the study results and not super surprised how the places I've lived as an Asian American ex-pat were rated the way they were.. I'm currently living in France and I think having learned French before coming here has made a huge difference. I have one American ex-pat friend, the rest are French or Asian French, and the American friend has very few close French friends, but I feel like I have some decent friends and a community here, and am thinking of staying here and becoming a dual citizen. I think it also has to do with how willing you are to put yourself out there to make friends with local people, or if you just go to big international/ex-pat events
South Korea and Japan's population is collapsing at an exponential rate.
It's okay to visit, but after couple decades, their economy might not be as strong.
At least if you are well off in America, you can probably retire in those SE Asian countries.
I have lived and worked across Asia for the last 10+ years. Taiwan was my favorite place – affordable, good health care, beautiful scenery, friendly. Korea was nice but expensive and very hard to operate in if you don’t speak Korean well. Same for Japan. China used to be great but I wouldn’t go back under current conditions. Most countries in Asia are very safe and have great food. The biggest challenge to moving there is strict immigration laws. Unless you are a high skilled worker going for a short term job it’s hard to get a visa to live in any of these countries. Most do not offer retirement visas to people who do not have family ties. I hope to retire in Thailand because it’s a great place to live and they offer retirement visas.
