For Americans Like Myself: Where Would You Move If...

[Nihilist74]

I would love to live in Germany or any of the Scandinavian countries. I like the cold weather, the style of government and economy those countries have.

[Super Kami Dende]

Don't choose Australia guys, our Current government is making us the least free of all western countries.

Avoid avoid avoid.

[endersblade]

I'd say Aussieland, as I've been there and I love it, but the heat is fucking ridiculous. I wanna go somewhere colder. So somewhere north.

[Dispraise]

Why would anybody want to intentionally live on an island where everything on it is trying to kill you?

The plant and wildlife pretty much anywhere would kill you, if given the opportunity. Theirs are just more efficient at it.

Yeah, I've had my fill of desert. I would like somewhere with rain.

It builds Character.

and tombstones.

Sweden or Holland. The Dutch speak English extremely well, so there's little adjustment regarding language. I'm sure you could get by in one of the major Swedish cities as well with no time for adjustment.(Not saying I wouldn't learn the language, I already know a few phrases in both, it helps that my best friend is fluent in 7 languages)

[tj119]

Costa Rica or Brazil.

[Gandrake]

Japan, Portugal perhaps.

Japan because I love a lot of things from there, Portugal because it is where my father's side of the family is from and I do not know much about my own culture.

[Poppincaps]

Canada easy although if I could move anywhere and be able to speak the language then I might check out Japan. Although I think visiting Japan would be far more fun than living there.

[Aori]

Japan because I like a lot of their culture, I also have family there. Otherwise Canada, I've lived there for 3 years, it is just a cleaner more peaceful United States.

[Osoroshii]

Japan. They've got some really hot chicks there.

Also they like to build giant robots and shit, so there's that.

What country would it be? Justify your answer in your post.

It was a voluntary move, but at this point it appears to be a permanent relocation. China. I've been here about fifteen years now. I'll be getting married to a Cantonese woman in a few months and will probably end up retiring to her home town after a few more years.

Why? I grew up during the Cold War. China was one of those places that I would encounter in books, magazines or films, but I never expected to end up here. I had a chance to take a temporary position here and I found it interesting enough that I've stayed. My background was in international law and I've found it more interesting to watch things develop first hand rather than just reading about it in the news. I pushed myself hard enough in my old profession that my health took a nosedive, and I enjoy my current work far more.

[Kellhound]

Switzerland for me, I can learn German well enough and I already know a bit of French, plus I'm 1/4 Swiss.

[Mormolyce]

I also can not live anywhere tropical or that includes insects that freak me the fuck out (everything in Asia, NZ, AU & the south Pacific).

I seen the things that live in Australia. No. Fucking. Way.

Live in Melbourne, there's hardly any bugs here at all. They can't stand the weather either.

[Shadowmelded]

I would move to the UK...I like British people...they seem really direct and up-front which is the opposite of American culture where we can never just come out and say what we actually mean, we have to sugar-coat everything.

But I'd probably just pussy out and move to Canada...just because it's geographically closer and wouldn't be nearly as much of a culture shock.

Funnily enough, most of mainland Europe thinks we're kinda two-faced (probably because of our obsession with being polite) You should visit The Netherlands, they're really direct and, to me at least, seem like the US of Europe (which isn't an insult, they value personal liberty as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else, privacy and have capitalism mastered with some really decent consumer protections)

[Yvaelle]

Iceland maybe. Beautiful, beautiful people, Scandinavian, great internet, short flights to both NA and EU.

New Zealand would be my first choice except that the internet would suck.

Sharks: ~2 deaths per year
Crocs: ~1 deaths per year
Snakes: ~2 deaths per year
Spiders: last fatal spiderbite in Australia was in 1979
Jellyfish: less than 1 deaths per year
Stonefish/blue ringed octopus/cone snails: 4 in the last century

All up Australian wildlife kills about 5 people per year.

Compared to:
Horse riding accidents: 20 deaths per year
Bee stings (regular old European honey bees like every country has): 10 deaths per year
Drowning: 300 deaths per year

Only because the people stay vary at all times :>

I too doubt those stats are legit since dropbears aren't listed.
