When I was in Korea I went to a bar with some other Americans who were white. The sign said " no foreigners allowed. Only korean". These two white dudes got heated. "That's racism!!! What the fuck is wrong with you dude! I won't accept this!" They were parading around for a good 15 min. Other black dude said " hey let's just go to another spot. It ain't that serious".

The look on this white dudes face when he got denied because he wasn't korean was priceless. He was in shock. I think it might of been the first time he got discriminated against. Lol

Great piece on a black woman from Detroit that moved to Ghana and started a school.

I've been living in Thailand, (based in Bangkok) but work all over Asia since Jan 2013.

I pay 215 dollars a month for a 1 bedroom condo in the heart of the city. That comes with gym, pool, lounge, internet, and electricity.

My water bill for the month is never over 6 dollars.

I speak the language fluently. I'm working on Mandarin next.

I'm a 45 min flight from some of the most beautiful islands, beaches, and mountains in the world. Those flights are about 60 bucks roundtrip. Took my girl on vacation to Koh Samui for 5 days and everything was 300 dollars (food + drink included for the both of us).

You can expect racial bullshit all over the world. Asians are racist too, mostly towards other Asians though. No one really cares about what White people think here. In every Asian country there is a derogatory word for "white" or "white devil" and people use it freely.

There are a lot of us folk over here though, we have FB groups and meet ups all the time. We throw parties, help network, etc. Overseas you truly feel like another Black American is your brother / sister and you all look out for each other. It's very collective thinking. For some reason once you get back on American soil its back to individualism.

Immigration here is a pain in the ass though, especially when you're doing it legally. The country is so corrupt on every level, it makes it difficult to do the right thing, or its difficult to understand what the right thing is. We Americans think our government is corrupt? Thai politics, cops, lawyers, will do it in everyones face and no one bats an eye because corruption is normal. That's why so many mafia bosses or ex-hit men come to Thailand and switch their names, buy new passports and live under the radar.

@ the bold.... i only felt that in japan.

but for the last paragraph

this is the same i am saying about switzerland.

shit is incredible.... how can you follow the rule of law when they dont have rules or laws to follow. and the meaning of what may be a law is to the discretion of the people you are encountering. and this is suppoed to be a advanced and developed country.

Word, I feel it more in non-Western countries where things are completely 180 from what we're used to. Europe and colonised European countries aren't too different from the US (obviously there are differences but the similarities are more). I prefer to live in non Western countries (specifically Asia).

Yes about the laws its mind blowing. Here the military took over the government and they literally make new laws one day, then the next they outlaw it. Immigration officials are never on the same page since everything switches on the drop of a dime, so you always have to have some money in your backpocket to grease some hands along the way.

Oh and here are some photos of the place I live at, just so people don't think Bangkok is on some third world shit. The rate that it is growing at is incredible:

215 dollars a month.

@2stepz_ahead , where in Switzerland are you? french or german side? I was there a few years ago but didn't really like it. Found Swiss people to be some of the most boring motherfuckers I've ever met. I'll be around in the spring again, hitting Antwerp, Berlin and then hitting Geneva

My buddy just came back from Thailand not too log ago. Didn't they just have a military coup there or something?

as an expat you cannot purchase homes or land. You can if you marry a Thai. but as an expat you can only purchase a condo/apartment.

nobody mentioned the Caribbean or South America?

Its a possibility, but I'm thinking long term. It might be a disadvantage to be isolated like that.
