What should I do to get a job in Asia in the next 5 years?

Hi everyone, the title says it all. I was born in Eastern Europe and I am currently a non-target student in the UK. I don't know if I'll have a fancy job by WSO standards but I'd like to move to Asia and spend at least a few years there in my late 20s/early 30s. I've taken the CFA route and I will graduate in 2020. Again, I have no idea what my first job will be out of uni.

What should I do to make that switch happen? Should I start studying a language in advance? Or just get some experience in London in whatever job and simply apply to jobs in Asia? When I say Asia I'm thinking Shanghai/Seoul/Hong Kong/Singapore or other similar places that can offer an interesting life for an expat. What else should I know in advance?

Thanks
