That’s a lot of places to live. Moving to the UK from the US for me was already mentally draining logistically so curious how you balance that

When I was in my twenties, I didn’t really buy stuff and apartments in Asia are mostly fully furnished. All my stuff fitted in a 32kg luggage until 2022 or so.
where in asia is fully furnished? in Japan and China the apartments I was in didn't even come with washing machines, dishwashers, and in one case, AC
Most Chinese apartments come furnished, at least in Beijing. You have to negotiate with the landlord if you want to use your own furniture. I’ve never had an apartment in Beijing that didn’t have a washer machine. No dryer of course, and these are cheap washer machines, you could buy one yourself for 1k RMB or so, well 20 years ago you could.
Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan was all fully furnished. Most property sites have an option to filter for that.

Also there are a lot of service apartments available too!
