    The average meal in Malaysia is more like RM20. It’s true that one dish may cost +/-12, but unlike in Europe, a dish here consists of only one part, e.g. meat. You want rice, a salad or something with it, you pay extra.

    I’m literally just in this airport after travelling Malaysia for a solid month, looking for the best place to settle down for the next 3-4 years (which I decided would be Kuching).

      I very much enjoy Asia and I’ve been to many places there, could you tell me why you decided to settle down for a few years in Kuching?

        It’s the rainiest city in Malaysia, and one of the rainiest in all of South East Asia, so the climate is much more pleasant to me. And Malaysia is tax exempt for foreign sourced income and capital gains, just like Hong Kong or Singapore, but at a fraction of the living expenses.
