We never had a balcony in Kuala Lumpur. It was a priority when we arrived in Phnom Penh. We spend every evening on the balcony. Cooking the BBQ, eating dinner, and watching the storms roll in.
We have not used the air conditioning during the day. The breeze comes in and cools the flat.
With the door opened, you feel connected to the world. Bikes, cars, horns, roosters. The sounds are the backdrop to everything we do.

Sounds like an awesome place to kill some time brother.
The first apartment I had in Southbank had a 1m x1m balcony, half taken up by the air conditioning unit. Never went out on it, no point, 1 person barely fit. When Esra and I moved to our current residence, we now have a 5m x 2m balcony, seating for 4, BBQ, plants, greenhouse. Agreed, its amazing how much more connected to outside you can be with a usable balcony off a shoe-box apartment.
