But Where Are You Really From?: An Asian-American Struggle
128. Why I'm Probably Retiring in Asia
01 Sep 2023
After living abroad in Japan and Korea the last year, Angela's recent reverse culture shock coming back to the US has your co-hosts wondering why there's such a drastic difference in the quality of life between the US and many (East) Asian countries. In this episode, we talk about just how different our respective experiences were abroad with regard to the cost of living (food, clothes, going out, real estate), general feelings of safety in society, societal norms & expectations, and more. In considering the totality of all these factors, at least for Angela she feels pretty confidently that she'll probably retire outside of the US. What about you? Have you ever considered living or retiring in a different country? If so, which one and why? Let us know in the comments on our social media!
