Ha! Yes many Western folk find it hard to cope without air conditioning lol. I remember power outages and I thought othing of it, and would simply wet my face, hands and arms and walk outside. It's the small things we know haha. Oh and being duped, sadly many Western folks are very polite and simply might think they are offending if the say no or complain.
Asia in general is the safest continent bar Europe and North America. Nearly all SEA countries have a negligible murder rate, crime is low and it's safe to explore. You can do any of these things in most South American countries, which I have to say are very dangerous, the Caribbean or parts of Africa. Although Africa is strange in that one country is at total peace and the crime is non-existant e.g. Ghana, but if you go to South Africa it's another story.
Asia for me is my go to destination time and time again, and as I said it's not only just that I am Asian.
I agree, at least for me, once you get used to life in this region, its hard to go back to the civilised western world.
I'm a westerner (I'm not ethnic Asian, I'm ethnic Spanish). I've been coming to this region for almost 20 years and living in this area for 8 years. I'll go back to Europe to visit, but i want to live here.
