    I really like Bulgaria, but one thing that is a real plus for Romania is their written language is Latin based, not Cyrillic like Bulgaria. Some people pick it up but in the month I spent in Kazakhstan I might as well have been on Mars. Cyrillic is extremely difficult for me but a Latin based language like Spanish or Italian is often easier to work with.

    I understand the purpose of this video is to show the costs of living on a budget in KL and KL provides such, but I’d prefer to focus on value. Price is what you pay, value is what you get. A decent apartment in a good neighbourhood like Bangsar, KLCC, Bukit Bintang, Sri Hartamas or Mont Kiara is still relatively affordable at around rm 5k - 8k per month. Cheapest is not always the best and the best is not always expensive.

    I found the interview interesting and informative. I'm 65 and also use natural medicine. My girlfriend of the last years recently has suspicious jealousy. Suspicious jealousy is a type of jealousy in which a person fears the loss of a valued relationship to a rival even though the person's partner has not misbehaved and there is no factual basis for this worry. She's just 24 now and I hope we can work through it. I believe it's the Trust issue that your guest mentioned. It's not wise to marry if there's no trust. Tyt.

    Dan and Qiang, make the best videos I've seen. I moved to Bangkok in 2003 to learn Muay Thai. I was and I am still too young to retire and I have made more mistakes than I care to admit. I wish that I had Dan's videos to help me chart my way. I had a site called Bootstraps and other backpacker sites in the early days of the internet. I am 52 and Dale's letter is very interesting. I too have taught English but I make my money as a personal trainer and martial arts instructor. I'll let Dan and Qiang give the advice but if I could impart some wisdom it would be this; watch your finances and keep a nest egg somewhere. Don't be afraid but find something you can do to earn income, teaching English is viable but do it your way and the best you can. Learn the language! my biggest regret is not speaking fluently in Thai, Korean, or Vietnamese. Next country language classes will be essential.

    Hi Dan, I appreciate your videos very much. You actually deliver value vs. other travel bloggers, who mostly like to brag. Anyway, it would be very interesting to hear your input about Transnistria (moldova). It is the next country after Romania and the only country that preserved the Soviet Union statues and style. I am located at the moment here, and I would love to hear your thoughts about this place. I'll be happy to meet you and show you around, guys. Thanks for your valuable videos one more time.

    @@VagabondAwake Dan, I knew you will suggest that, as I watched some of your EA videos. Thank you, I'll think about it. In teh mean time, I strongly suggest you visit Moldova and Transnistria, to have two more reasonable priced countries in your collection that expats might consider. You can take an overnight train from Bucharest to Chisinau ($35 from Gara de Nord), which would be another experience. Moldova is pretty beautiful in this time of the year, and I hope you enjoy it, but Chisinau (the capital) is over crowded (Tiraspol, the capital of Transnistria is way more laid back).
