What are the most challenging aspects of retiring in Penang?
We asked retirees what they find the most challenging about retiring in Penang. They wrote...
"We long ago stopped comparing countries to the US and just accepted places for what they were. With that said the most challenging aspects for us would be the need to travel home to visit our family. This is a costly trip and while we enjoy visiting family, don't enjoy that we are the ones who are expected to return. None of our family has come to visit us," remarked another expat in Penang, Malaysia.
"I dislike the double standard in pricing and that is common throughout Southeast Asia, Central America, Africa and Europe," said a member in Tojong Tokong, Penang Island, Malaysia.
