I could never live in a place where I couldn't spit.

After 10 years here I think I'd know if that were true. Then again, it could be true, but like most of the laws here, they don't bother enforcing them.

This is the only country I've been to where you can blow past a cop car doing 40 mph over the speed limit and they don't give a shit.

It's also the only place that when it comes time to re-register your car and they present you with a bill of speeding tickets (all by radar) you can negotiate the bill, usually getting half off. Now that's one of the great things about this place.

I choose South East Alaska....... lots of islands, the hunting and fishing is fantastic, no state income tax just a small sales tax, so all you have is the fed income tax. and if you do that right you can keep that at around 27%.
Good health care, cost of living is a bit high though.
The weather is on the cool side with considerable rain, so I guess you won't be spending a lot of time at the beach sunbathing.
It is a beautiful place and if you have a boat you can live on it's even better, with all the islands and small towns to hang out in.
South East Alaska communities.

It's also one of the most likely places to end up as road-kill.

artov,
how much does that cost per month?
what other internet subscription plans/packages are available? Thanks

(compared to ours here in the Philippines; but cost of living here is dirt cheap, in US/Europe/Japan's standards)

The cost is EUR 40. Here you go for the different packages www.upc.nl/internet

...so i am contemplating moving but unsure of where to. The ideal place needs to offer the following:

1 - Great weather and scenery (preferably tropical or mountains)
2 - Inexpensive living - best bang for the buck etc.
3 - Good schools (for our kids)
4 - Safe for Americans / foreigners etc.
5 - English is prevalent thus making it easy to get around (if outside of the US)
6 - Low crime
7 - Hight speed internet available (this is a MUST)
8 - ....anything else you can think of.

Right now I am looking into Phuket Thailand but looking for input...
I am assuming that you are currently living in the States. What makes you want to leave this wonderful country of our's.

Includes a Telephone Flatrate.

Hamburg is one of the best cities in the world anyway:

There are no hills in Holland. But the Dutch are nice people, kind of like Germans on valium.

Please you're full of it. People in Holland hate immigrants, like seriously a liberal country like Holland basically running blacks out, I don't wanna see what they do to an American.

Ich bin in Berlin aufgewachsen, mein Freund. Ever been to NeuKoeln, Berlin? No? There are now no-go zones for Police in Germany. This would have been unthinkable even in the 1990s. Do you ever get out, or are you too glued to your charts to see what is going on around you... then again Europeans are great at being in denial.

You are full of it. Germans are leaving in droves. Almost every one I talk to in Germany wants to leave and find work elsewhere, otherwise they'd end up on Hartz-IV (Welfare).

Wow and they don't have that in the US....

NeuKöln = Europe

now that's a great generalisation.

Population Europe: 500 Million
Population Berlin-Neukölln: 150k

Yeah you can totaly project Neuköllen on all of Europe...

How many people did you talk to? Or even more important where are they from? If you ask 1000 people in Trebbin (Brandenburg) That's going to be a representativ sample size... not!
It's probably better being unemployed in Germany that having some low-wage job somewhere outside Europe.
And don't tell me our EU-Neighbors are so much better of.

I have lived in 2 European countries for a long time. At the moment I am visiting in the US for 1 month and I would never, ever move out of the US if I was a citizen here.

In fact, I might start the process of moving here pretty soon. The quality of life is IMO so much better than in Europe.

Most of the Germans are moving to Switzerland where they leave their 7 euro an hour job and get 25chf per hour doing the same job. Who ever said Europe has a lower standard of living has not been to CH. Minimum wage here is 18 CHF an hour and since we are all forex traders I'm sure you know how much that is in your currency. Also CH has one of the highest standards of living in the World. Denmark is number one, CH number 2. The top 3 cities are Vienna, Zürich, Geneva. Bern is in the top 10 as well. As far as safety is concerned you cant beat Switzerland. The whole country has under 15 murders per year. 90% of them committed by foreigners. Thats two weeks in any major U.S city, plus the cops are friendly here, not all agro aggressive like in the U.S where you feel like your in a police state. Police brutality is rampend in the U.S, You should never have to fear the police but thats how it is today. Plus there are certain freedoms that you have here that would land you in jail in the U.S. Like enjoying a bottle of wine with your picnic in a park. However CH does have a bureaucratic problem which requires tons of paper work and months of time to get anything done. So no country is perfect.
