My Cost Of Living 30 Days In Penang Malaysia. Expat living overseas retired

I with you on cost. Had to return back to the US to take care of some issues. Unbelievable how expensive it is. Getting an inexpensive hotel is outrageous. $80/night and upwards (prices jacked up due to vouchers to homeless/illegal migrants living on the government expense). Defiantly can see an increase in meals. A taco shop, two burritos $24. Car rental for three weeks $1600 Just a small example. Looking forward to getting back to S.E. Asia later this month. Three weeks expense here are what I spent in 5 months in Asia

I’m a female solo traveler. I always stayed at Airbnb run by a family. I always enrolled with STEP by our State Department and received travel advisory news from the embassy. I always carried my passport with me and had copies of it in my locked luggage. For the past 25 years traveling in SE Asia, Japan, and even India safety was always my top priority and I never found myself worried for my safety. I don’t wear any jewelry. Never show my cash. Dress comfortable but modestly. Respect the host’s religion. And I almost always received courtesy and support from my host. Know what’s available in the area you’re staying-embassy or consulate, hospital, police, bank, pharmacy, and of course…market. Just good preparation and you will enjoy your trip with peace of mind. 🍁

Generally safe yet we are not free of crime. As long as you dont deal with drug dealers 😂 As a Malaysian, i just want to highlight an issue of the abundant of immigrant workers here with many even illegal ones. Most of them used to stare at female travellers as if they haven't seen ladies before. Which we find this rude in our culture. Some even request to snap photos with those ladies. It's quite annoying to some travellers. In case you bump into this situation, just shout at them to go away haha Yeah we have been facing lots of immigrant issues for a very long time and we are sick of it!
