I saved 12k (paid down debt) the first year and 16k the second making $2000 a month in Korea.

And I went on two vacations to the Philippines and one to the US.

Abu Dhabi 

Good pay but you have to live in an oppressive dictatorship.
OTOH, I'll be working in an oppressive dictatorship for little pay. 
Is booze readily available for foreigners there? Its all that would get me through a year in that hot dusty desert.

All the military guys I know say that Abu Dhabi, the UAE, and those "safe" areas of the Mideast are like Las Vegas (though probably with less garbage).

Actually that's Georgia. $200 a month.

Bhutan would be cool on a mountain getaway sort of way.

Those fuckers get $200 a month?  That's about 25 bucks more than I make... though I'm paid in lari, so hopefully the exchange rate will keep deteriorating.
