I am living in Asia- Singapore, more specifically.
And there's not really any similairities with the US or UK as far as I can tell. Sure, the country is pretty Westernized to a point I get shit from locals and elders for speaking what they consider "really good English" from time to time. They also assume I'm from another country. Or they just insult me for not being able to speak Mandarin too well. >_> Language isn't a problem though, nearly everyone here speaks English. If you're willing to pick up the local slang (Singlish) you're gonna go far.
Our homes are pretty compact. Then again, it kinda has to be since about 4 million people live in Singapore. And we're a tiny ass city-state on an island. Majority of the population here lives in HDB (Housing Development Block) apartments. Other (and more expensive) choices would be condominiums and bungalows. Forewarning though, in the recent years, they've been installing a fuck ton of CCTVs around. And your neighbours are eyes too.
I have been told our education system is more... Ridiculous? Like it's significantly more challenging than other places. But... Eh, I don't really have much proof or experience myself.
Safety wise, Singapore has one of the lowest crime rates in the world. I literally have never heard of anyone doing drugs here. The most I've seen are drunkards (not much of a problem now, since you can't be seen drinking alcohol in public past 10.30pm anymore). If I'm not wrong, having possession of drugs, especially a significant amount, could lead to a death sentence? But I may have to re-read a bit about that.
Mmm... What else can I add? I was thinking pets and how many bloody restrictions there are here.
