Where would you want to live internationally?

[Dariusb]

If you could pick any city in the world (outside of the country you reside in) to live, where would it be? For me it'd be Vancouver or Toronto, Canada or Tokyo, Japan. I've been obsessed with those cities since I was a teenager.

Monaco. If I had the wealth, its just paradise. I was there a few years ago, and its just a picturesque location. An absolute playground for the very rich.

Sounds lovely.

[SIGSEGV]

Maybe Amsterdam.

[ChiSoxRox]

Montreal.

I like winter and know French, and Montreal is still on the North American continent to be nearer family.

If money was no object: Paris.

[JManc]

Probably London.

[ThePhun1]

Sao Paulo or Salvador Bahia. Or Brasilia or Manaus (Rio is notably absent but I could change my mind). In other words, Brasil is highly favorable to me, my dream country to relocate to.

My next career move will likely coincide with a move to France. Probably with Paris as a base, though I could happily live in Lyon or Bordeaux.

Considering I'm living internationally where I want to be now, if I can't choose Shanghai then I'd choose Taipei or Dublin.

Probably France or Germany, in an upland area, small village but close to a larger city.

One of the lakes south of Munich, if not Munich itself.

It’s hard to answer this question. If I had my way, I would set up a house on every continent, including Antarctica. But I would probably spend most of my time in Europe, South Africa, and East Asia.

Bangkok.


Agoda

I'm so over western culture, particularly English-speaking cultures. Get me the hell away from Christians and other Abrahamic faiths.

I found Bangkok to be cool to experience, but parts also felt like hell on earth walking through a concrete jungle in the hottest, most humid weather I've ever experienced. Don't think there's any way I could live there through a full summer.

I also never thought of Pasadena as a place one would come into conflict with too many hardcore Christians. Is the Hispanic population there still very religious?

Why? We're not so bad so long as we don't turn stupid sectarian bigots.

Here's something genuine Christianity teaches.
People who can afford to pay taxes must do so, because it is a significant part of their duty. They need to get involved in society to help all those who are struggling.
Meanwhile, the poorer who benefit from these same taxes mustn't take it as anything granted, as if they were entitled to get money from any welfare state. They must grow more educated and skilled in return. So some good day, they can pay taxes to help struggling people in their turn.

I would willingly live anywhere such a basic principle would be effectively implemented.
Unfortunately, we're all spoiled and stuck in an individualistic greedy mindset, which causes the rise of corruption, distrust and violence.
That's beyond annoying. That's how people end up losing their Christian faith, which is a pity, really.

In a nutshell, I would live in any place where people are understanding enough, but certainly not in a bigot hellhole.

[SFBruin]

Berlin. Or possibly Hanover since I like pretzels.

[IMBY]

Ideally, a city where I'd never need an A/C or a Heater any time of the year, that would be heaven!

I researched that, long ago, and I came up with Guatemala City (5000 feet in altitude explains it) or Medellin or Cali Colombia, both cities with altitudes in the 4000 foot range.

And I hope someone comes along and suggests San Diego, and I'll be laughing the rest of the day!

[tdawg]

Madrid or Lyon.

[Centropolis]

auckland or welly

[iheartthed]

Berlin, Barcelona, or Rio de Janeiro.
