One day, I met a white man who told me he once wanted to buy Ugandan citizenship but found it too expensive. Now, he stays in Uganda for 3–6 months, returns to America for 2–3 weeks, then comes back, he chose to live in #Uganda just that way.
Are there others living this way? Why do you choose this lifestyle, and what experiences or challenges have you faced?

Reality Is More Than a “Realistic Point of View”
Reality Is More Than a “Realistic Point of View” -
So being interested in social issues is useful, but a realistic view needs balance between the macro and the micro.
And I’m skeptical of “This country is doomed!” content made mainly because pessimism gets views.
Reality is usually much messier — and much more ordinary — than that.

People often ask, “What’s it like to live in Korea or Japan? Would you recommend it? I want a realistic point of view.”
But reality isn’t just one point of view. It’s a mixture of many perspectives.
There are countless articles saying, “This country is doomed,” or “This country isn’t as good as it used to be,” followed by economic indicators, political issues, international relations, and demographic trends.
Those are macro-perspectives. They matter, but they don’t explain everything about local people’s daily lives.
We also need "micro-perspectives."
Such as “Prices are going up while salaries stay the same.” That can be both macro and micro, because people actually feel it in everyday life.
But grocery prices alone don’t explain why someone stays in a country, leaves it, likes living there, or hates it.
South Koreans don’t all leave South Korea simply because North Korea exists. That’s what I mean by confusing a macro-level issue with everyday reality.

Six months of emotional abuse.
Isolation. Gaslighting. A police call. Being blamed for my own trauma.
Two months ago I wanted to prove something.
Now I realise there’s nothing to prove.
I’m overseas. I answer to nobody.
I write. I dance. I adapt. I build.
I’m not escaping.
I’m free. -
I’m not here to appease a culture, a religion, or a drinking ritual.
I’m a free agent on a visa, choosing how I live, heal, and observe.I’m not a tourist. I’m not involved.
I’m creating my own culture — compassion, curiosity, creativity, and care.
It’s just culture, bro.
It’s what I do.https://whothefami.substack.com/p/dont-rock-the-boat-just-kin-beer

Woke up at 1:30pm in Laos after a night eating sticky rice with my trans lover’s family, learning dirty Lao jokes, riding dark backroads, and questioning why I still feel guilt for resting when my life is working.
Maybe healing isn’t discipline. Maybe it’s safety, slowness, and letting go.
I’m not pushing anymore. I’m thriving.https://whothefami.substack.com/p/a-slow-life-in-laos

Relapse is isolating when your addiction isn’t something people want to talk about.
I felt shame, guilt, and alone — until support came from the most unexpected place.
No judgement. No pressure. Just space, trust, and humanity.

Living abroad warps reality. Every day I push through language, closed shops, strange translations, and moments that don’t quite make sense.
I see how lucky I am — English, a strong passport, freedom — while sitting in the same small Lao restaurant by choice, not because I’m stuck.
Laos is messy, sometimes a shithole, but I am free. And that freedom feels like everything. #LivingAbroad #LanguageBarrier #ExpatLife #Freedom #Laos #SlowLife https://whothefami.substack.com/p/language-and-limitations
