aside from malaysia/singapore, the entire region's a lost cause.
hygiene is poor at best, the people are absolutely filthy. human faeces is routinely used as fertiliser.
as a result, most of the population is infested with parasites. 1 out of 5 people have roundworms, which are particularly disgusting.
imagine your intestines being filled with pencil-thick, foot-long worms crawling around. the smaller species are particularly dangerous, and migrate through your organs, and can be fatal (bile duct obstruction) or cause cancer.
consuming any food is playing russian roulette with your health. hepatitis is rampant, and cleanliness standards non-existent.
any western newfag spruiking how "great" these third-world dumps are has rocks in his head (and parasites in his gut).
imagine leaving the west for this, all because you're too lazy to make something of yourself back home. supreme failure.
