Too unsafe for me taste. Its very scary that anyone can buy a gun, and you cant go walk everywhere you want.

Where I live I dont have to fear anything.

I have a prejudices about US ppl. Arrogant, loud, etc.

Also the slums are very unfamiliar here and I really wouldent like to see that part of world.( "Out of sight out of mind." N-Korean phrase [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] )


And what comes to president of USA, well better I dont say anything..

I only speak English, and have lived in the US and UK previously, so...

1. Australia
2. Canada
3. South Africa
4. Netherlands
5. Belgium
6. France
7. Italy

Some pretty rapid languages to be learnt there.

Assume you have the same income and look to have similar living standards.

A different angle to moving abroad is that for many countries you can have the same income but vastly increase your living standards. Life in a lot of developing countries may not look too good for the locals when you see it depicted on the evening news, but for expats it can often be pretty sweet. Full time maids, cooks, drivers, palacial houses, all on what would be a lower-middle class income in the US.

So, while I don't really have a list in mind, I'd consider places like Sri Lanka, Ethiopia (beautiful country, btw, and no one's starving there anymore), some of the Carribean countries, Thailand...
