I'd say Holland. Friendly people. A country with basic liberal values. People speak good english. Tax free for me as european. Climate is reasonable.

But pretty much every part of Europe where they speak good english is fine by me. Australia/Thailand would be too annoying to visit family/friends.

If you don't mind the climate, Scandinavia is pretty nice.

Barcelona is ****ing awful. Whole place stinks of sewage. Worst city I've ever been to. And I've been to Cork and Birmingham.

Need some reasons, yo. Also my parents moved to Italy from the US, so any suggestions for nearby countries would be nice. What you guys think of Slovenia? I've actually been there. They're poker friendly, like Americans, and speak English.

My parents live 1 hour north of Venice, so immigrating to Europe wouldn't be so bad so I could be close to them.

Please elaboratez. When people talk about how "so and so is cheap" actually helps a lot.

Also, throwing out a minimum $ amount per month to live comfortably helps.

if you're an asian fetish freak, sure I guess. but poker legislation and gambling in general is horrible in korea, in japan it's probably the same situation as it is the states, don't know about the other two but I'd rather vomit all day than live in any of those.

Cheap beer in Canada? I've been to Toronto thrice now and paid $28 for their cheapest 12 pack. I understand the healthcare and all but dude needs a cheap buzz.

The only problem I see is that the majority of people speak French, although English is the official language.

no, I have problems with "asian fetish freaks". but I do also have problems with asians who move to america or canada and instead of assimilating to the country and learning english, it's all about the "azn pride" man!! and white people suck man!! yeah, I don't care if you take it as "talking **** about my own race" when race doesn't matter, it's culture that does. the funny thing is that those people never wanna go back to vietnam or china, where ever they're from when all they do is talk crap about american people despite living here.

about mauritius, I'd feel a little weird being that close to madagascar, africa and all that.

edit: why the F do these threads even exist anymore? there has been a billion of these threads made before, why not just go read those? damn
