If you could live in any part of Asia for a year, where would it be? I've always fantasized about living in Sumatra and running surfing excursions.

Bangkok. People always complain about the odor and say it's too busy, but I love it. The busyness is the allure.

I love Bangkok as well. They don't call it "the grundel of Asia" for nothing.

I love Bangkok too. Maybe Chiang Mai. I'd also vote for Ubud, Bali.

Phuket! <BR><BR>Can't afford it though. New houses are going for US 1 million up to 2.5 million!

i dont know if would want to live in a country with the largest muslim population in the world(Indonesia) but the best spot in Asia has got to be Chennai(India) you can seriously walk out into the 85 degree water for about 1/2 a mile and only be shoulder deep........

There's a tiny village in China called Choad. We were the only westerners there and had to crap in the street becuase there wasn't any plumbing. I'd move there in a second.

Louang Prabang, Laos. What a wonderful place to escape from all of the crap that's going on in this world! However, as soon as the first Starbuck's or McDonald's opens, I'm moving on....

I live in Melaka, Malaysia and I adore it! Cost of living is cheap, we're right on the Straits of Malacca with a beautiful view, small town feel without the noise or traffic or pollution of KL, but with KL a short drive away for serious shopping, great medical and dental (and cheap), amazing food. Aside from missing our families, we love living here and don't have any plans of leaving any time soon!<BR><BR>Jen<BR><BR>

Oh, so many, how to choose..okay, Koh Talu, quiet, relaxed, cool see breezes.

Hong Kong!

Sumatra definitely is a good choice. You could live at lake Toba or at the smaller Lake Maninjau. The Landscape is beautful and the local architecture is most interesting.<BR>The next most interesting place in in Indonesia in my opinion iS Sulawesi, as well in culture as in local achitecture.

Hey, Steve. Bali, where Ubud is located, is Hindu/

In Steve's defense, he mentioned Indonesia with no reference to Bali. Hence, one must defer any judgement as to his cultural IQ....

Ho Chi Min city daaaaawg!

Has got to be Kyoto during the cherry blossom season.

My favourite spot in Asia? Mexico!

Me love Sri Lanka coast.

Singapore, Shanghai, or Bangkok

I recently crapped my pants in Sri Lanka after an amzing dish of pork fied rice...it was fantastic.
