1. South America. Why? Because.
2. Malaysia is a great place for that. After all,you know what they say, "Malaysia Truly Asia".
3. If you are considering South America, consider Buenos Aires Argentina. It is the Europe of South America. The people are kind and friendly, the food is great and you can get real estate at a great price!
4. Buenos Aires Or any other tropical place in SE Asia
5. The Philippines i really a great place to retire. God Bless. http://www.tourism.gov.ph/index.asp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FsBvXh3m2A
