Where is somewhere cheap, safe and interesting to live temporarily?


I've saved up money to fund a startup company, and I want to spend 6 months somewhere setting it up. I love to travel so want to try somewhere new.


My criteria:



  • cheap to live (ideally somewhere I can rent a furnished apartment for a $xxx a month. Max total cost for rent food etc no more than $1,000/month ideally

  • not somewhere I'd likely be kidnapped or the target of terrorism

  • not somewhere that is either involved in a military coup, a war, or in a simmering border dispute that boils over every now and then

  • preferably with some liberal girls I can meet, and not a completely conservative culture where i'll be shot for besmirching a good lady's honour

  • ideally somewhere that is aware of the English language, even if it's not overly common

  • preferably not a Western country (though point 1 probably rules most of them out anyway)


Can be anywhere in the world, any climate. Corruption is ok as long as it's not crazy


Taiwan seems like a reasonable choice but I was wondering if there was anywhere else someone could recommend
