Looking for a cheap place to take a year off from western culture.
I just cant take the ridiculous politics and feminist bullshit any longer. I need a break.
I have about 30k american in savings and am very frugal.
Just want a nice place to relax in a cheap apartment and be able to cook food and go out and have a cocktail now and again.
Would love to go on a date where I am not in fear of being accused of rape if I dont call her back the next day.
Please help guys, I am at my wits end here.
I will come back and be productive in a year or two I promise.

Philippines is very similar to Western culture, due to their shared recent history. It's dirty, grimy and polluted. But the people are very friendly.

>>1160457
I would say Nepal if you really want to get away from it all. Probably the cheapest place on the planet to live month to month, If you like cannabis it grows wild there, it's very cheap and of decent quality. The people are relaxed, friendly and there is plenty of nature to surround yourself with/escape to if city/village life strains you ( we all need a break ).

Eastern Europe may be a good choice too. Poland is inexpensive, relatively modern and if you leave the big cities the focus of the people is family/religion like it used to be everywhere. Although in big cities you'll find the youth attempting to emulate Western ideals/values.
>>
>>1160515
I'd still like to lay down my pros for Phils

>Top beaches and night life per the dollar
Unlike the suggested Nepal where the entertainment value is climbing mt Everest.

>Easy-going women
Some pump and dump, some to have a comfy relationship with.

To the best of their ability.

Which isn't something you hear often ayyy

Jesus man! the memes really got to you? the chance that a woman would do that is about 1 out of 1000 in the west.

In a poor country it is much likelier. Dating is much riskier in the third world. Women will do all times of shenanigans in order to get your money. In the west, for the most part, they just want you're cock

However, it sounds like you're doing it for all the wrong reasons.

I've dated in the west and in the third world.It is much easier in the west, you don't have to be worried about getting scammed.

This does, happen actually. Not to the point she goes to police. But she will tell her friends how she didn't really want to do it, how she was drunk, you were aggressive. But it ends up with your rep being an asshole, not a rapist.

Where and what do you mean by this? On both accounts. Where in Eastern Europe can you live well on $333 USD and what kind of lifestyle is it? How is English there? Where are the third world shitholes that you would be beheaded? Thailand like the post you are responding to? As is the subject of the OP, I legit want to know your suggestions to go to and stay away from.
>>
>>1161955

they're literally not third world shitholes because third world means countries that were neutral in the cold-war, and eastern Europe and former Warsaw Pact are synonymous terms
>>
>>1161986
Missing the point. What specifically are the places that are better and cheaper than the aforementioned Thailand and Philippines? Is it true that you will get beheaded there? Where are the third world shitholes that you are talking about?
>>
>>1161986
You are correct about the original meaning f Third World. You are incorrect if you mean to imply that meanings of words and phrases do not change over time.

Third World, in the vernacular, is often used to designate the undeveloped world.

Okay, since I originally entered the term "comfortably" into the conversation, let me clarify.

>live in a Western standard accommodations
>be able to eat out and have money for entertainment regularly to a western standard
>be able to save money for emergencies/spikes in spending a.k.a. live without worry or have something catastrophic destroy you financially aka not living check to check.

I rounded to $1K but 30K Baht is actually about $860. In Bangkok you'd want 40K Baht, which is about $1145-1150 USD. What other city with the amenities of Bangkok could you live on that?
>>
>>1162025
>the cost of living in Japan is less than 850$ a month

>Rent for a shit-tier single room apartment $300/month
>Cook all your meals, basic bland ingredients, $300/month
>2 subway rides a day, $150/month
>Gas, electricity, water $70/month (no heat in the winter for you!)

That leaves "less than" $1/day for everything else -- clothing, internet, laundry, smart phone, health insurance, any drinks besides water from the tap, furnishings for your shitty apartment, entertainment, etc., etc.

Seriously, just how retarded are you?
>>
>>1162049

He was doing the calculation from the $850 the other poster said cost of living was, not $1k. It's even quoted. That would leave $30. You suck at reading comprehension, dude
>>
>>1162068
Well, I took my figures from an actual Japanese dude so fuck you both, feel free to google it yourself.

Cost of living is $850, internet included, and you get $150 left for "clothing" and "drinks" or whatever the fuck else you need.

If that's not enough for you because you have to afford ass cream or some gay shit, your fucking problem.
>>
>>1162073

>>1162084

Well, I count at least three mistakes in your latest post. Fancy that.

I gave good, hard figures for actual bare-bones cost of living in Japan. You contradicted me with... well, nothing, except "an actual Japanese dude." Anecdotal evidence is next to useless, so what does that make second-hand anecdotal information? Put up or shut up, retard -- don't tell other people to go Googling if you're not willing to do it yourself.

Wait -- you've never been to Japan, much less lived there, have you? IOW, your opinion is completely useless. Glad we got that settled.

You can't live on $333 in E Europe. Minimum is $600. Comfortable lifestyle. English is decent enough.
>>
>>1162128
>>You can't live on $333 in E Europe.

An apartment costs $100-150, food is about $100, you get $50-100 left. Most people live like this or worse in Serbia and they are somehow perfectly normal people who have relationships, fuck women, go on coffee dates, study something in university, go for drinks with their mates, and so on.
>>
>>1162197
Average salary is $350 btw, and very few people have that, it's more like $200-250.

The Exchange rate doesn't even matter that much. If you're in Germany, and you buy groceries at Aldi or Lidl, you can get a week's worth of groceries for 50 euros or so. In America you'd easily spend twice or thrice as much.

If you cook for yourself then Panama might be interesting for you. Living cost can be high to 1$ a beer and 2.50$ lunch. Panama city has everything modern you could need and just 30 minute drive away you are at the Gatun lake in the jungle. You can rent a room for 100-250$ a month,depending on how far away you want to live from Panama city. I live in La Chorrera ( 32Km away from Panama city ) Vegetable market near,supermarkets,we have good internet and a good night life. If you are american then some girls can be a pain in ass,especially in the city. But in smaller bars/places everyone is cool. My mum and I ( we are germans ) we live with 1k$ per month. Keep in mind that we pay 450$ for rent and have 4 dogs. So of course you alone can live for a lot less.
