All the expats I've talked to in Singapore (which is 5+) from Europe and US complain Singapore is too small and doesn't provide enough entertainment. So they get bored and leave after 3-5 years.

I used to live in Southeast Asia and learned you can never truly feel at home due to visa rules and the homogeneous culture.

I loved my time there and encourage others to go, but I'd caution if you're trying to throw down roots.

We've traveled to Malaysia and Singapore. Climate-wise both fine, we're just not sure, how easy it is, for Europeans to establish there. Spain is an option, but especially Gran Canaria is on top of our list, I lived there for a while and really enjoyed it. Thanks for your recommendations!
