Many People are leaving/planning on leaving NJ, but would you ever...
leave the country in general and move to a new country permanently? If so, where would you go?
Let me start it off. I'd move away if things got really bad here and there was no escape. By bad I mean sharp divides between the rich and the poor (comparable to third-world countries), extreme crime, etc. I would emigrate to Australia.
But I don't really see that happening, so I guess I wouldn't do it, LOL.

Ive contemplated this over the years as I have many clients overseas (UK, Ireland, Bahamas, UAE, South Africa, Cayman) and have had offers to come work for them for what seems like a VERY nice living in that country. Each time I just never had the right feeling after visiting. Then, several months later I learn something about the place/city/country and it confirms my suspicion and i know I made the right choice not to leave. The grass isnt always greener.

O...before I clicked this thread, I thought the question was "would you ever...move into somewhere like Newark, instead of leaving". |

Yes I did a 1 month tour, Riyad(Saudi), Qatar, and Dubai. I was working, not on vacation, but it was still an awesome trip. Dubai is def the place to be in that area. |

It's only one of my dream vacations (out of MANY, LOL). I am a HUGE fan of architecture and that's one reason why I want to go to Dubai. They have a lot of skyscrapers, including the world's largest, and I want to see them. I want to see the land-made islands shaped like the world and a palm tree. I want to explore the sand dunes in a SUV outside the city limits.  |
