If you moved to a different country, where would it be & why live there?

New Zealand or Japan would be my first choice. I'd be open to British Columbia in Canada also.

 

I couldn't comment on New Zealand, but I have a friend that has turned a 1 year contract for work into now 7 years living outside of Tokyo. He and his wife have even had their first kid there. They live in an English speaking expat area and townhouse compound. They love it for the most part except there is a ton of racism against non Japanese still in the society. Also, they have learned Japanese living there, but have commented it was extremely hard to be a non native speaker for the first couple of years.

As long as you're in the heavily populated touristy areas you can get away with English only, but anywhere outside of those areas, its really hard to communicate.

They also comment that the standard of living is a lot lower. The vast majority of people live in tiny apartments or super old run down houses and really can't build any wealth or security. They do well because they are expats for a big internet company, but wouldn't be able to live there as comfortably as they do on their income.

 

mongolia. just seems like a nice play to live out the rest of my days. away from the fast paced crowded city life.

 

In the process of getting dual citizenship in Italy, I could easily live there.

 

New Zealand, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Yucutan

 

Probably Taiwan.

Equal access healthcare (universal), an absolute abundance of a variety of veggies and fruits. I can somewhat speak the language. Temperatures vary between regions, so you're not stuck in a particular climate regardless of where you go in the country. Great response to Covid-19.

Beautiful landscapes, etc.

 

Somewhere in the French or Italian countryside away from civilization. Or pretty much anywhere in the western European countryside.

 

depends at what stage of ages,
early 20s : Houston ,
30s : Clear lake ,
40s : Beaumont
50s : re_Houston
60s : Galveston

 

Singapore- clean, everybody is accountable, educated, good economy, good food and only a hop skip to anywhere else.

 

Italy for the pace of life and the food, Switzerland for the beautiful scenery, Denmark for the social safety nets, or New Zealand for just being cool man.

 

Forgot about the ninjas. Maybe Japan is out. Unless I can join the ninja club and become one. Then maybe Japan's back on.

And...now I'm considering Hello Kitty and Pocky...Japan is definitely back on.

 

Don't lie...the thought of vending machines full of used panties intrigues you.

 

Outside of Tokyo and downtown Osaka, it isn't that expensive imo. The small to mid-sized cities are just nice for me - not too crowded, affordable, yet all the amenities a city-dweller could want. If you can pick up the language it's a great place to live. If employment wasn't a consideration i'd probably live there.

 

Somewhere near the ocean. I like water.

 

What I don't get is that they actually sell that stuff...but fuzzy out the kitty in pr0n. Something doesn't add up.
