I moved from Los Angeles to Kuala Lumpur and I can attest that it's quite an enormous saving on rent and food. I must preemptively qualify Malaysia as a fabulous location for a web start-up as it scores extremely well on my PEST analysis and other essential factors. Also being physically away from my "rock and roll all night and party everyday" friends indeed dramatically cut down on my socializing budget. It all rosy here, up until now that is.
