Really looking at a few options

@fluffy2560

In the 1960 - 1980's there were Cubans who arrived to Hungary as some sort of "socialist friendship".

Many among them were women who worked in Hungarian clothing factories. A way to remain here (instead to return Cuba) was to get married/ create a family.

Compared with like German, Romanian, Serbian, etc... (+Hungarian) family unions close to nothing in numbers.

Personally I know about just 3. 

Vietnam that is different, they hardly mixing.

But as a funny thing in the late 2000's I get an offer to marry a Vietnamese woman on paper for a good sum of money, so was able to laught long untill the "paper guy" realized that clearly asked the wrong candidate.

Those friendships amongst communist countries did produce some benefits of a small kind. I was in Mongolia, went into a pharmacy to buy something or other and the pharmacist did not speak English, only Russian and Mongolian. But oddly she tried in German and it's language I can get by in so we tried that and it worked! I got what I needed. Apparently she had studied in East Germany.

The only other odd thing was going in a food place in Dushanbe and the guy cooking couldn't speak English (of course) but he tried French which I learnt in school. Turned out he'd studied chef stuff in Paris. We got our food as we wanted. The two other guys I was with (they were Turkish) seemed very surprised. I think they thought that country was "their domain" and Turkish would work everywhere.

I don't think many Asians are mixing. Even in my village there's a Chinese area developing. Usually working age man and/or woman with parents in tow.  I see this Chinese "elder" guy wandering around the village aimlessly. Seems like the entire family comes. During the summer I also run into Chinese families having picnics in the woods or doing Nordic walking.  Maybe  we'll get a Chinese restaurant in our village.  We have a Thai place but it's really expensive.

@SimCityAT I lived in London for a few years, nice job and VERY nice support from the employer who relocated me, having said that, for me a terrible to live, expensive is one side (although the years spent were very profitable (not because of me working, but more taxes and employer being friendly to move).

What is really a nightmare is travelling, just to go to a park (Hyde Park, Greenwhich, ...) it can take easily over one hour.

I do not like big cities (I am sure I would feel the same about Budapest or Istanbul).

For me a city with around 20 K or max 50 K habitants is great.

Enough infrastructure (supermarket, restaurants, ....)

When I was a working stiff, I lived in a whole bunch of big cities. Including Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, London, Paris, Barcelona, Helsinki, Singapore. They're lovely cities, but massively expensive, especially if you don't have a nice 9-5 career-type job. So I'm kinda surprised where I've ended up...

Argentina has a major currency problem, but that's an opportunity if you have passive (or remote) income in dollars or euros (especially if you bring cash money and change on black market). Our (former, although we still visit occasionally) apartment is in downtown Buenos Aires, within easy walking distance of many important colonial buildings, a lovely park, and a large riverside nature reserve. It's very civilized place, with great food and drink, and by far one the cheapest options (with the above proviso) for living in a major capital city. But property is priced in dollars, so while it's cheap to live, it's not cheap to buy (although it's pretty affordable compared with many capitals).

Instead, we're in a downtown apartment in Plovdiv, Bulgaria's second city (population less than 400k). This is a former European Capital of Culture, and it's a wonderful small city, full of ancient monuments. This morning, I walked 6km along newly paved walking/cycling paths, out past the Regatta Lake where the flocks of daybreak birds flew over me. The Regatta is an international rowing centre, but it also has a stadium, lots of tennis courts, football and basketball courts, outdoor gym. And a refurbished 25m pool (with an Olympic 50m competition pool in construction). Other mornings, I go the other direction, along a 2,000 years old Roman aqueduct and then up a quaint cobbled path to the top of Youth Hill. My swimming pass is 22 euros for 8 entries... and my walks are free. :-)

The name Bulgaria makes most folks think of unwelcoming Eastern Europe, and mobs of "Russian Mafia" roaming the streets in their blacked-out Mercs. And it's definitely not on any list of the world's best retirement destinations! But I've found that "it's tip-top, Tommy". :-) I've managed over 5 years here (now a Permanent Resident), which is the longest in one place since I was kid. It is safe, civilized, and the lucky recipient of oodles of EU funds which have upgraded parks, paths, roads and all kinds of local infrastructure and services (and not just the bank accounts of local Mafiosi).

Not only does Bulgaria have relatively low property costs, but it has very low living costs (including property "holding" costs). And it's not just cheap, it's a beautiful country. The Black Sea coast is great, and the Central Balkan National Park and the Pirin National Park are both spectacular. The weather is great, and so is the food. We don't stay in Plovdiv all the time: we have a country house just outside one of the National Parks (our neighbours are very warm and welcoming), and a holiday studio in Bansko (a charming little town and the largest ski resort). And there are cheap flights (Wizzair, EasyJet, Ryanair) from Sofia or Plovdiv, so we can easily (and inexpensively) pop over to UK, Spain, Cyprus, Turkey and elsewhere. We're lucky to enjoy a fantastic quality of life here, one we could only dream of in another country.

My previous colleague had a Mongolian GF.  He was really into their throat singing. Quite amazing to hear it.
