India and Thailand top my list for the food and culture..itd be a tough call between those two.. After that Macau, Nepal and Japan.
Im a huge Japanophile but the only reason it isnt higher on my list is the ridiculous cost of living.
China could be cool but i dont think Id like the restrictions and poisoned food.

Yeah, you're right, but I'd still go for Japan. Or Indonesia.

I was thinking japan, tokoyo couldn't possibly be as exspensive as sf right?
if I was staying in sf I would probably only afford a crummy one room studio above a fish market in china town, does that count as living in asia?

You should really spend 4 weeks in japan before you decide to live there. It sounds a lot cooler than many of you would think. Some people love it, but a lot more are disappointed with it than I have met (including myself). You should just really get some japan time in before you decide to move there to see if it's really for you; is what i am trying to say.

yeah japan and bondage, lovely
Japan has a lot of supression of the youth though and yakuza really is no joke . Then again they're useful for drug seekers... drug use is kept away from japanese society by jakuza, jakuza has the monopoly.
Friend of mine grew up there, I should see him again it's been such a long time

I loved the food in Japan, but everyone feels like they are 17 years old. Completely innocent to the world around them in a pathetic way. Head article in newspaper when I arrived was how japanese people could get aids because many thought it wasn't possible because they only had sex with other Japanese people.
When I visited the high school and asked a class about marijuana they were shocked I'd even been around it, because no one used it. Highly looked down upon.

I've never visited Japan myself, but I work closely with someone who regularly spends a lot of time there. He likes the country, but always asserts that it's probably the most xenophobic and racist community he can think of. Indeed, for a foreigner of any nationality, it simply isn't possible to become a socially fully accepted Japanese citizen, no matter hard you try.

Marijuana is serious business and carries stiff penalties in Japan. I hear it goes for ridiculously high prices because of this though...it's tough to get into the country and is not too widely cultivated.
I hear it's easier to get acid and E than it is to get pot there.

Weed is very hard to come by but yakuza has shops that sell herbs laced with diffirent JWH compounds (or other cannabinoïds) . Can't really tell for sure what they sell, my mate told me it looked like total utter shit but it made you SO stoned.
So yeah JWH is the most viable option
