Part of my reason for going is the way I see the US veering towards policies that I thought only "bad" countries had. There are opportunities here and no country is perfect, but I'm happy to get out while the gettin's good.

Thanks! I really couldn't understand his negative response, but then again, look at the source. I go where the money is, and for now it's in KL. I still think Colombia is awesome and that's where I plan to retire.

In regards to the taxi drivers sometimes not using the meter; learn to identify the Filipinos from the Malaysians and you won't have a problem.

Actually pickpockets and bad taxi drivers are probably in every city in the world. If that's the worst the State Dept. can come up with, then I'll be fine.
