Living in Penang
Malaysia · tropical
Penang is a mid-sized city of roughly 800,000 people with both the sea and mountains close by in Malaysia. The climate is tropical. It keeps a balanced mix of locals and visitors and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,100. Healthcare is reasonable, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for food and eating out, art and culture, swimming.
La sanità privata (4/5) è nettamente migliore di quella pubblica (1/5): metti in conto un’assicurazione. È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio. Il reddito prodotto all’estero in genere non viene tassato qui.
