Which one is better for living long term? I would like to make a comparison on the following criteria. Availability of food: locally grown, imported; the range of food. I imagine food security may be a big problem on a small isolated island such as Fiji. Cost of living, rent. In Ph there seems to be many cheap rent options and in Fiji more than 30 % of population live in informal squatter settlements. Natural disasters: typhoons, floods, eartquakes. Diseases: malaria, dengue, tuberculosis, where the rate is higher? Environment: trash, serious pollution (heavy metal contamination), water pollution - where is it higher? Cost of other common goods, electronics; cost of fuel for cooking, access to electricity, drinking water. Your insights and opinions are welcome.
