Even then, medical and dental are cheap as dirt. Some of the healthiest, best tasting food on Earth, thanks to a perfect mix of Southeast Asian with a hundred years of French influence.

And I don't care how old you are, or what you look like, your romantic prospects, if interested, are enormous. And what a place to continue your Asian philosophy studies.
...and you'll never come back. And why would you want to?
