Just got back from a long weekend in Singapore. Was quite underwhelmed by the experience. It was pretty gay and I would recommend KL instead.

Thanks for checking in and announcing that you are a fucktard. Now move along and go so some *real* traveling in Syria or Iran.

All those cute nerdy Singaporean girls, and none of them were interested in you. Yeah it's upsetting.

I've honestly never been all that impressed with Germany. Oh and fuck Amsterdam.

Singapore is very expensive and not very friendly for short term guests unless you can pay out. It's a great place to work and live though I guess if you land a job. For example just like in Hong Kong and experienced subject teacher with native English passport can get paid 130-140kusd with a housing stipend which more than covers the additional cost of living.

somehow, I think the anon you answered to is the samefag
who always goes to the China threads
and claims you can make 100k+ usd as English teacher there as well

which is absolute bullshit

no clue why they do this
when you can easily look up common salaries of publicly paid as well as private school teachers

I used to admire East Asians but after working with them in America I despise them. I’m pretty sure what makes Singapore suck is because of Asians.
>emotionless, soulless consumers
>everything is about materialism and displaying wealth

I fucking hate them. Their entire identity is what they purchase: clothes, labubu dolls, boba tea, cars, electronics. Fuck Asians. Fuck them all

You're the ESLfag learn the language before yipping. I said "experienced subject teacher - with an English native passport" meaning you have experience teaching an international curriculum already in a place like USA/UK etc. and yes there are numerous places that will pay out 130k.

>digital nomads: I make 100K a year
usually the ones making 100k+ are expats, not nomads
people in highly specialized jobs that get send by their company
like myself, chemical engineer and went for 4y to Nanjing and later 2y Chengdu

i've met like maybe 5 or 6 digital nomads in my life that actually made over 100k (compared to dozens of expats)
one influencer and the others computer scientists

>also digital nomads:
>where can I go and live on $500 a month long-term?
that's the more typical experience
most DN don't make enough to sustain themselves and stop after a few month

and even the ones that do
usually get by low skill jobs, like working in hospitality / restaurants or really stupendous online work

like? examples?

even if I look up the most prestigious private schools in Beijing
they max out at ~700-800k RMB per year for teaching with a PhD and like 10y+ experience
which is ~110k USD at the absolute maximum
entry salaries there are more akin to ~300-400k RMB with a Master degree in Education

If by modern, you mean the 80s. Good to know that in 40 years, Asians won't be easily manipulated slave bugs.

This. KL for me any day, OP is right.

The reverse of this is Thailand and Cambodia. Cambodia is overrated, can’t understand why you’d choose it when Thailand is right there.

Dunno about the 80s, but "soulless consumers" and "everything is about materialism and displaying wealth" sound exactly like the Western world nowadays.

Believe it or not, but materialism is more crass and blatant in the Third World than it is in the West.

Plenty of westerners living their, doing the Thailand schtick (motorbike adventures, kickboxing etc) that have inexplicably decided Siem Reap is better than, for example, Chiang Mai

"better" or just less visa hassle and cheaper?

is it some unknown secret hidden knowledge that there is a direct correlation between atheistic hedonism and suicide? They're not putting suicide nets on the sides of churches
