Would you rather live as a bum in Blackpool England or as a bum in Indonesia? if you has to choose ?

DrewC · July 21, 2019, 4:02am

I’d rather … neither. Might as well ask me where I’d rather be in prison.

I have an answer for this one: Sweden

Lao_Wang · July 21, 2019, 4:33am

Noice.

Brianjones · July 21, 2019, 4:47am

LOL I lived in Sweden before, beautiful land, terrible experience.
Much rather my third world paradise ‘shitholes’.

These cells look several times nicer than my American college dorm, which had poo-brown floor tile and in general was outfitted more like a 1970s insane asylum. I also shared one shower and toilet and two sinks with seven other girls. And I had to bring my own TV.

To be fair, my school wasn’t exactly rolling in dough because it was on the small side and we didn’t have much of an athletics program, but most of the college dorms at nice schools with lots of funding actually look a lot like Swedish jail.

My room in London was a lot like the Swedish jail cell and it cost £836 per month.

Hanna · July 21, 2019, 5:15am

Omfg. At least I had a scholarship to cover my “cell” at college…

Isn’t that IKEA ?

Gain · July 21, 2019, 5:38am

Yeah and the transport was really expensive too. It’s horrible.

Run an online business, live in Thailand.

Taiwan has ugly buildings and the roof tops make it look like third world slums
But there is healthcare, few homeless people, good public safety, good public transportation and infrastructure, stable democracy, stable electricity and water.
Overall I feel Ukrainians would want to move therefore than Taiwanese to Ukraine.

Brianjones · July 21, 2019, 8:07am

Thailand isn’t the third world. It’s actually pretty developed these days.

OysterOmelet · July 21, 2019, 8:51am

I plan on going to Costa Rica for dental work.

Gain · July 21, 2019, 9:22am

Thailand is totally third world.

bojack · July 21, 2019, 9:53am

Thailand is pretty much third world. There are pockets in Bangkok that are very modern, certain buildings or shopping malls that are sleek and brand-new, but within 10 meters of stepping outside any of them you’ll run into Thailand’s gloriously third-world electric grid system.

Andrew0409 · July 21, 2019, 10:15am

No, it’s not. But it had a lot of issues of it

OysterOmelet · July 21, 2019, 10:31am

It is based on the way you’ve described it.

crusher · July 21, 2019, 10:49am

I had a great time in Sarawak, great people. Brunei too (yes I know Brunei is independent ).
First class for good manners.

Andrew0409 · July 21, 2019, 10:51am

Well, Johor is improving from Singapore. KL is not bad. Wouldn’t choose to live there but it has its charms.

But it’s not great imo. There’s still a lot of racism and it’s actually institutionalized. For examples top schools are for Malays only. And stupid stuff like you’re legally a Muslim and if you marry a non Muslim they must also legally convert to Islam and any children you have would be legally Muslim.
