Please help me decide between A life in the EU vs Bali

I am a 51 year old white male and am suffering from a little self-inflicted mind game.

I am also currently living with my current girlfriend in a common-law partnership in a country in the EU. I have been here 1 month and need to start working soon and have to stay 5 years to get the EU passport.

I also have the opportunity to live and work in BALI. I am so drawn to the different lifestyle there that i am leaning towards taking my things and moving there. My girlfriend understands what i want and she has agreed to letting me go, but then the relationship is understandably over.

If i choose to stay here for 5 years to get my passport, I will be choosing a somber clinical lifestyle over a fantastic tropical (but uncertain) lifestyle in Bali. Obviously here, there is a functional government and infrastructure. There not so much.

I am really drawn to Bali as i love the motorcycle way of life, the weather and the people.
Here i feel out of sorts and it feels like everything is black and white and routines.

Please give me your inputs.

I would ESPECIALLY appreciate inputs from you guys out there that have lived and worked in the EU and perhaps Bali as well.

I dont know what to expect from the EU way of working and living.

It just feels like it will cost me 5 years of my life to get the passport - whereas i could be having a great tropical life for that same 5 years in Bali.

Thanks so much
