Re: Where Do You Want to Go?

I assume that you've scouted out a few other locations and their advantages and disadvantages. Serious question, what places are you thinking of moving to and what are their pluses and minuses?

First of all, I must say that I dont see what is so hot about the US in comparison of other first world countries. My major complaints are of the Bush administration, and the American government in general, the erosion of civil liberties and the christian right which is constantly banging our heads against their bible. It is very hard to get citizenship in another country, so I will remain a US citizen, and just apply for residency once I am ready to start working. So the "advantages" really are just dependent on personal opinion and values, and of course age and family plays a factor. As a single man I am very much interested in the night life.
Places I have considered are:
1. Costa Rica (which reporters without borders gave a higher free press rating then the US)
Cost of living is substantially less. A studio apartment in walking distance from the beach can be had for less than $500/month. Liberal enviroment, with the occasional shake down from the cops resulting in a small fine. Rampant drug use and partying and sexy women galore.
2. Just about anywhere in Europe. Particularly Prague/Paris/Amsterdam
