Expats only! Where is a very good and exotic place to live for a considerable amount of time?
I only want someplace that is very exotic and far from the american culture. I dont mind an unmodernized place. By exotic i mean away from the West and Europe. I like the culture shock, and i adapt easily. I like big cities full of culture, adventure and great people. I dont mind not having americans/canadians around, and i learn languages easily and quickly.

MY TOP RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YU — INDIA & BRAZIL…
Shanghai!
I lived there for 3 years, I picked up chinese quite easily.
I’ve currently live in the middle east, so when I’m speaking chinese to a friend here in Dubai, it’s a bit hard. But as soon as I landed in Pudong airport, i sticked to me.
Shanghai is the way to go!
brazil
Sri Lanka is a third world but not as big a culture shock as India.
In-fact SL has more going for it than India. It has culture by the bucket load, beaches, sun, restaurants, temples, elephants, great food. Sinhalese is not an easy language to learn but I dare say if you have language skills it won’t be so much of a problem. Cost of living is cheaper than in the west.
It’s an amazing country & much cleaner than India.
