too rudimentary to rank them in order so i’ll say they’re all equal

hong kong (unofficially number one. special
place in my heart)

bangkok

seoul

london

hanoi




i wish i could put shsnghai. i really wish

but idk. i felt like everything in shanghai closes early at. literally cycled from huangpu river to jing’an and not ONE mcdonald’s open 24/7

i think there was one in pudong, but THERES NO WAY TO CROSS THE RIVER AT 2AM VIA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OR BICYCLE

so i don’t think shanghai can be top 5

a big thing is a city has to be 24/7. i can’t operate on normie schedules.
 
fuck man, i love seoul

obviously it won’t go back to late 2010s peak but fucj

even the past couple years i’ve made good memories and pics i took where i look at and am flooded with nostalgia and dopamine

like this one

As a mixed race person, do you feel ppl treat you better in Shanghai or Seoul?

How much money do you need for luxury life there

seoul

but the old people in seoul are more xenophobic. idk why when the only reason their country exists is cuz we installed a capitalist regime and use their land for military bases

everyone in china is chill tho. and shanghai is more of a foreigner friendly city than seoul simply due to westerners going there to live since the mid 1800s

shanghai is the city in china locals are least likely to stare at you. even in non foreigner areas.

compared to seoul, where no matter what, old people will look at you. especially on the subway

can’t wait for them to die out in korea..
 
How much money do you need for luxury life there
depends

if you have a lot of cash, you can put a deposit of about $30,000 down and get a decent apartment and not pay rent for as long as you stay there, and then get the money back when you leave,

basically living rent free

i did this for my apartment (didn’t pay as much as 30k) and just use it to ship shit i don’t need while i’ve been constantly traveling the entirety of this year

if you’d rather do the standard western style of renting, expect to pay premiums and go for a foreign orientated agent. so like $2500 i’d say is a starting place for alright apartments

besides rent, seouls pretty cheap imo.
 
we have a dedicated section for those two cities -->/r/thepassportbros
they're old and p4p

Have you been to Japan, and if so, why isn't Tokyo on your list? Especially considering Seoul is
yea a few times

i like it but just not enough to be top 5

plus i have sino bias

fuck them japs
 
Have you been to Busan? Apparently that’s a hidden gem, or maybe too small for you?

yea it’s nice

could be a good place to live if you don’t want to live in fast paced seoul

but i prefer jeju island over busan.
 
Updated top 5 cities a year later in no order

Seoul

London

Hong Kong

Bangkok

And my home city in China

Honorable mention is Washington DC

i doubt this list will change anytime soon
 
why seoul? everyone i've talked to who's been there says it's soulless

soulless or that they dont like sexpats and you cant go around being an annoying drunk?
I can see why Seoul wouldn't be the best for many but its far from soulless... one of the biggest cities in the world with unlimited stuff to see, do, food

can you elaborate on that or where I can find more info, I have enough for the down payment, why does that model work? Does the apartment just farm out interest from the deposit so it's a win-win?

Is this in seoul? 50mil won for 전세 seems kinda low, the people i knew who were paying 전세 for shitty apartments where paying at least 80k USD for the deposit.

Imagine shelling out $80k to live in a shitty apartment in a dying nation instead of investing the money, wtf

Pretty sure they don't care about foreigners and is same as In Japan living there. There is some discrimination against foreigners afaik same with dating.

I've been to London and Bangkok and feel the places are overrated.

Yeah thats why 전세 is a thing, they basically take that money and reinvest it, but most koreans either get a loan from the bank or they get the money from their parents to pay for their deposit, barely anyone young seems to actually use their own money
 
london is a shithole.
it mogs. best city in europe

just ignore the ethnic guys and phone snatchers and its chill. could even consider it a geomaxxing destination with all the third world girls there
