if you had to relocate to a foreign country, what would it be?
Folks, hi,
I was wondering... If you had to relocate to a foreign country for any reason (political, economical, professional, curiosity...) and had the choice of the country what would it be?
Come on give me 3 countries and the main reasons why you would move there.
Thanks!

Australia - beautiful, cheaper, safe, mild climate, pluralistic but still a sense of culture
Chile - beautiful, cheaper, safe, mild climate, politically liberal/socially conservative
Indonesia - 60,000 islands where you can actually buy one of your own and start a colony
Though I've been to all 3 and thought of it all, I would still not move there for 1 sole reason I would want my kids to grow up American and have the liberty and freedom to think and travel as their dad did and if they want to colonize an Indonesian island when they grow up, that is their choice.

Switzerland-Beautiful country side and culture.
Ireland-Just love the landscape.
Canada-As someone else said it's similar to America and Alberta is beautiful, New Foundland is also very beautiful with a coastal culture.

I would have to ditto on Canada, as the culture is close enough to here in the U.S. that I wouldn't feel like a complete outsider.
Sweden might be next on my list. Very laid back culture and not hyper.
I guess I'd go with New Zealand as well for my third pick. All the beauty (and more some may say) of Australia, without every snake and bug being poisonous like in Australia.
