Come to Taiwan.

My rent per month is about 336USD (live alone), I spend about 400USD per month on foods, and that's because I'm too lazy to eat out that I basically Ubereat everyday. (If you choose Taipei, the cost would be a bit higher, The point to live in Taipei is the convenience and it's more approachable to newcomers)

There's a lot foreigners in Taiwan, so it won't be much trouble to blend in I guess.

We have a excellent control over the pandemic, we welcome you as long as you respect the rules and are willing to self-discipline (especially in this pandemic).

Here I got a Discord server that a lot of members are foreigners in Taiwan: https://discordapp.com/invite/zFBqpET

As an outsider, do you have concern or daily impacts on your lift with the current China/Taiwan political issues? Maybe I’m misinformed but right now things seem a little more tense than they have been historically.

Daily life is not affected at all, even economic is same or maybe better after Chinese tourists stop coming to Taiwan for general public.

To be honest, the overall situation is usually better then I expected, international/domestics politics, economic, etc.

Do war breaks out tomorrow? I don't know, it could be, but it never happened in these years even though they threaten every year to subdue us.

Great

I was actually thinking Kaohsiung.

How is it for an English speaker ?

I really just want some place quiet and cheap

People are helpful in general and will try to talk with you, but their English will most likely be on a poor level. It's much easier to get around if you know at least a little Mandarin.

Also, it's a total opposite of "some place quiet" :) All the major Taiwanese cities are very densely populated, busy and loud.
