All the expats I've talked to in Singapore (which is 5+) from Europe and US complain Singapore is too small and doesn't provide enough entertainment. So they get bored and leave after 3-5 years.

I used to live in Southeast Asia and learned you can never truly feel at home due to visa rules and the homogeneous culture.

I loved my time there and encourage others to go, but I'd caution if you're trying to throw down roots.

What kind of entertainment? I find entertainment in Singapore is very 'manufactured' and prefer the UK. People don't have to be limited to Singapore, travelling to other Asian countries is very cheap.

We've traveled to Malaysia and Singapore. Climate-wise both fine, we're just not sure, how easy it is, for Europeans to establish there. Spain is an option, but especially Gran Canaria is on top of our list, I lived there for a while and really enjoyed it. Thanks for your recommendations!

You can try Philippines. Foreigners can own a condominium or buy a house if you can find a loophole or establish a corporation. English speaking, thriving software development scene.
