Would you consider living in another country?

I'm with a lot of others here.

No way!

I have absolutely no desire to live anywhere else.

I have little desire to visit many other countries. Maybe Japan, maybe the UK, maybe Germany.
 
The UK.

I'm obsessed with the English. I went to London in 2002. My friend actually just moved there. He went and got his citizenship while on vacation, and just...moved.
 
I have lived in Japan for over two years. Nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there for any extended period of time. 1 Year is about my max in Japan before I need to come back. After the novelty wears out, everything becomes a royal pain. A small 1 BR apt is about all one can usually afford. Not a real big deal if you go out a lot and only sleep in the apt. Too small to cook a meal in the kitchen.

Food is great in Japan. Quite possibly the best in the world. They only lack true Italian pizza.

The women are amazing. If I were single, I could be talked into staying over a year.

Germany is awesome. I could live there. I am waiting for my employer (DoD) to look for volunteers to go there for 3 years. I will jump all over that. I hope someday to retire in Switzerland, Germany, Italy, or Croatia. Even France or Spain would be cool.

Well, you're in Alaska, so you're close enough... lol

:( True though. :D I have been to Tokyo on many occasion. I absolutely love the city. It is crazy crowded but the country is wonderful.

AU and Belize are places where I would seriously consider retirement to.

I've heard a lot of good things about Belize.
 
I would love to retire to Thailand actually. It's called the Land of Smiles for very good reason... :) And the food, oh my. Awesomely good.

I looked at Belize. I wouldn't retire there.

Every few years there is a new hotspot for retirees. Right now it's Panama. Haven't looked into it. I did look at Costa Rica once. Still in the back of my mind. Nairobi is a great place. Paris. Hainan great weather wouldn't live there though. Thailand is heating up.

One of my co-workers here has his place for sale in Costa Rica. It's on the beach and in a nice community. It is in Jaco, outside SJ about 2 hours. Gorgeous place and the fishing is 2nd to none. Truly a beautiful place.

He has property up in the jungle he wants to develop. He likes it in the trees where its cooler and a bit more away from things.

He loves Costa Rica
 
If I had to move to another country it would likely be Louisiana. :laugh2:
 
after having traveled through most of the USA and living and working and getting my education there...I went and started living and working in other lands...I must say the adventure has been a blast...not always pleasent but still I have had a great ride and am enjoying this thing called life...my biggest obstacle was getting over the "everything is better in america" attitude I had

People should try Canada. Poutine is awesome, and maybe it's something in the water but the females here are really good-looking (looks down modestly)...

Canada is on my list. And if that's you in the photo, I'm coming there. :p :laugh2:

I want to live in Italy and France for a couple of years to learn how to make their cuisine for my future restaurant.

I can help you w/ that! :thumbup: ;)
 
Right now, my lady is in Sweden, going to Denmark tomorrow and was just in Turkey for a bit for an academic conference, etc. I'm so jealous. On the bright side, we're planning a trip to London in December.

Paris is beautiful. Lived there for a year and it is sooo expensive. Lots of ex pats there though and the food is to die for. It's just gorgeous there. I love Austria too. So beautiful.
