I love living in a 3rd world shithole.

bumb ubm!
 


the first house looks pretty awesome. This seems like a good idea to do for a year to just try it out, just to experience it ya know?
 
Good for you man, that place looks awesome. Definitely on my list of wants before I turn 30.
 
Dude, that listing said "Well cared for landscape." -Does that mean you get a live-in gardener who takes care of everything included in the rental price?

It would cost something like $10,000 a month to take care of that landscaping in the US... These peasants just don't understand what a deal those listings are...

Yeah, you would have a gardener, not live-in or anything. Your money goes a long ass way over there.
 
And seriously, why is it that every thread on here where someone is moving, it's to a shit hole third world country? Even if you can get nice housing for cheap, it's still a third world shit hole.

So true. Many don't realize that until you are in a shithole for about a year and then all the travel novelty and charm wears off and you just want a fucking shower or a toilet.

Or some clean food.

I'm pretty sure you can get all that in an expat community.

No idea. Just playing around, and looking right now. Will go on a scouting / house hunting trip sometime within the next month. I'm tired of living where I am. Time for a change.

All in, including servants, I'm looking at say $3500/month. Now what exactly am I going to get in Canada for that? I could get a nice 2 bdrm condo, but nothing spectacular. So why would I live in Canada again? Especially considering the trend the world is taking. Western world is constantly getting more suppressive, and Western economies are generally either stagnant or declining. Whereas Asian economies are on the uptrend right now. Guess what the global landscape is going to look like in 10 years?

Yeah, we don't have toilets, showers, or clean food here. All of our food is actually crawling with maggots while we eat it. We get running water 4 hours a week though, so that's pretty neat!
 
Dude, you have running water? I must live on the wrong side of the Kingdom. I guess after 10 years here the charm of swimming in the swamp and crapping in the jungle hasn't worn off. And those maggots, they're so damn fat and chewy in the tropics, who needs real food.
 
Man, you can't call a shithole a place like that. Dont give a fuck for overall country condition/reputation/whatever as long as you are living in your personal little eden...

That's true I had some of the most amazing french food in my life in this third world country, I only eat street food during the week due to conveniency that I dont have to cook or waste my time when Im working.
