If you could live in a foreign country, which country you would like to live in? You should say:
- What country would it be?
- How do you know about this country?
- If you could work in that country, what kind of work you think you would do?

Sarah, if you'd ever like to plan a trip to Costa Rica, let me hear from you! We're also always trying to think of ways to have people whose company we'd enjoy rent our smaller houses. We've always been fans of intentional communities, but it never seemed to come together. In our ideal world, our farm would be full of bridge-playing, politically progressive, sociable cooks:)
The Czech Republic has been on our home-exchange wish list for years (no takers), but our hearts, if not our linguistic comfort zone, seem to belong to France. The Alps. And maybe Boston:)

hi Sarah,
hmm,
@"at 59, I finally got my BA the year I turned 50. Now I'm looking towards an MA in economics"...BRAVO!
ME the same with an European MBA in economics at 53. Obtaining the Relevant MA in economics is like your climbing on a camel not only in Mongolia, but elsewhere!But Stepping down resembles persuading economics's gurus, that you are not a horse, that is a Russian proverb,meaning that YOU are YOU and are worth in some areas..
BTW,ENVY YOUR education as: Mainly travelling and reading.

Fort Ross Bicentennial: Insider's Peek At The Historical Celebration.
On July 28-29, one of the first and oldest Russian settlements in the United States celebrated its two-hundredth birthday. Kira Tverskaya, this year's SURF officer, was lucky enough to spend a weekend lost somewhere between the present and the past, on the coast of Northern California, where still stands an ancient Russian fortress.

Hello to the group
and a big smile...
Over the years I have come to feel very much at home here in Franconia.
I had different passions, for towns more than for countries.
I loved Athens for a while...and I certainly enjoyed London. -And I have an ongoing relationship with Rome!
I originally intended to spend my retirement at the Lago Maggiore.
I thought of moving away from Germany repeatedly and at different times.
Now if I needed to move away I´d probably want to move to Australia. It combines vast space and beautiful landscapes with a culture which still has a lot of British "flavor". And I have met some lovley people there.
I plan to travel there again and again, but I feel I am growing too old to move "just for the sake of changing environment".
IF I were to move to Australia, I´d most likely want to live in Western Australia. My dream would then be to have a very special bed and breakfast in Perth.
Greetings and safe travels to you all!
I left the Central California Coast 3 years ago.
I moved there from Seattle over 30 years before, and watched it turn in to a cesspool of human deterioration.
The year before I left, a 60 year old woman on her 6AM jog through the park 2 blocks from my house was dragged into the bushes and raped.
Two blocks in the other direction a week before at the Jack in the Box, a teenage Latino was shot to death after a drug deal gone wrong.
Enough.
Now I live where there are as many deer as people, and the eagles soar overhead.
Cherie
"The grass always seems to be greener on the other side of the fence."
Helga, the grass where I live is ever green!
I don´t feel like moving from Brasil or Curitiba.
Currently I am enjoying planting trees, watching them growing up - can´t wait to eat their fresh fruits, sleep in a hammock under shadowy trees, after work.
At the same time, I miss this experience that is so normal for most of you: nature changing, nature rhythm: 4 in 1 year (or two).
"we still have all 4 seasons!"
Halima, I haven´t forgoten: one day I will request your couch, and we will bicycle to Samarkand!!! which season is the better?
Hugs!

Eg tala ekki islensku, but I'd LOVE to live in Iceland.
I tried it 3 years ago (rented an apt there) an will return as soon as I can figure the rest of my life elements around it.
As far as what to do there: I'd probably aim towards something with arctic animal behavior research.

hi LARRY11215,
what about this then:
@"By now, you can write these stories in your sleep. Young thugs with guns start shooting at each other. Bullets spray. Innocent bystanders bleed and die. Anguished soul-searching breaks out all over. How could a harmless street party turn into a bloodbath? Clearly, we need action to address the root causes"...

Yesterday I visited the so famous here Singapore University in Tashkent,for asking the Mr.Rector how to be applied there based at IELTS scores.He spoke in the very Breshnev style repeating many times how it is important to speak English today...the language of instruction here is English, this rector does not speak English himself he still learning,he praised about merits of getting a diploma here,surrounded by his secretaries..obtaining his diploma costs about % 5000 a year..the average salaries of mom+dad of the girl whom I am tutoring now is about $250+$300 a month,they are a family of 4 persons...

OK...now I just saw a story on Poznan, Poland.
I'd like to at least give it a try there.
My friend lived there in the 1980's when it was under Soviet rule. He revisits it every year or so: he can't believe the change there every time he goes.
It's a college town: I'm sure it's lovely there.

Jim, I love what you are able to do and Ireland is one of my favorite places (my Dad was Irish) and it does draw me. I have travelled extensively in the past, but there are so many many places yet to discover.
Although in my later years, I am still young at heart and care not for age barriers. I live on the Sunshine coast in Queensland Australia and to be honest it will always be my main base (grand children here, but it is also a pleasant place to live) Perfect weather 10 months of the year. Has all the ingredients - Weather - Crystal clear waters and golden sands, surf and flat waters, rivers and lakes - hinterland mountainss - rain forests - national parks - friendly people, shopping centres, entertainment and only an hour from city of Brisbane.
I am also self employed and work from home, mainly on the internet, so can really work from anywhere providing I have a net connection.
At the moment I a STUCK here and I am eager to take off travelling once again. I like to get off the beaten track and meet new people. Once my home is sold I will be ready to take off to who knows where.
Will be looking at many options, so will be displaying posts to gather some ideas real soon.
I would like to spend up to 3 months at different places and of course hopping back to OZ once in a while.
Whilst here in OZ I will be doing some touring in a motor home to places not yet visited (many places to see)Would also enjoy company of fellow travellers when that time arrives.
For now I dream/plan and wait for that elusive buyer of my home.
WHERE TO NEXT ???? AND WHEN ????

I've been living overseas for almost the past twelve years. I'm in Korea working as a university lecturer. I live here mainly because of the job...okay money, and the opportunity to travel. I also spend a fair amount of time in Chiang Mai, Thailand. At some point, I will probably retire there. I enjoy Thai culture and the Thai people are generally welcoming. There is also a diverse expat community and good, affordable medical and dental care. However, if I thought I could afford it, I would move to Europe in a heart beat. I spent time in Spain this past winter, and have just returned from a month in Prague. I would be quite happy to spend some extended time in either place. However, both are much more expensive than Chiang Mai. My retirement funds will go much further in CM than Europe. Also, I am a quick plane ride from some beautiful warm beaches if I choose Thailand.
@Nancie.
Could you, PLZ, write more in detail, what it is like to live as a retired university lecturer in Chiang Mai,Thailand,I mean living conditions,expenses, costs.

I have the choice of two great countries to live in, New Zealand and Switzerland. Born and 20 years in the former, lived half my life in the latter. Why? economics, culture, quality of life.
What Rhinepearl says also applies
Swiss have moved to NZ, and come back, and gone again ...
>and have come back, because no matter where one lives, if you are not rich, you will have to work for a living, and making a living in a country, that we are not very familiar with or do not speak the language well enough will always be difficult. And after retirement there is the question with the health system and so on.

Hallo,
ich spreche auch deutsch, aber fühle mich unsicher,
auf deutsch zu schreiben.
Mein Wortwahl ist im Vergleich zu Müttersprachliche
begrenzt; ich beherrsche die ganze Fall-Regeln
nicht; und ich weiss immer nicht ob etwas mannlich,
oder was auch immer ist. Es braucht zu viel Zeit nachzuschlagen.
I see English as an advanced development of German
(about 800 years advanced :-), having replaced many grammatical features by a wider use of context and
larger vocabulary (including lots of phrasal verbs,
a major stumbling block for English learners).
The language here is Swiss-German anyway, with different
words, tenses, and very different pronunciation -
dependent on which area of the country you come from.

As a Jew, my primary concern when thinking of an alternative country to live in would be that anti-semitism should be minimal in that country. Israeli tourists who return from Nepal and Thailand are telling stories that make me think that these countries could be options. I think I would like to keep my current occupation on my hypothetical new country. It would be good to have one part of my life familiar and dependable, would it not? :-)
Just wonder:
have you read about that or may be already visited the Fort Ross?
In 1812, on a stretch of the Pacific Ocean eighty miles north of San Francisco, Russian explorers established Colony Ross, Russia’s deepest vanguard into North America. Colony Ross was settled to produce food to support the Russian settlements in Alaska, as well as to expand the valuable sea otter trade.
Although the Russian American Company stayed for just three decades, their contributions to early California society were vast – they built California’s first ships and windmills, introduced glass-paneled windows, created the first brickyard, catalogued the local flora and fauna, completed detailed maps and were, by today’s standards, among California’s earliest entrepreneurs. Fort Ross is an excellent example of the best of California and what it has to offer the world: a rich history, diverse cultural legacy, beautiful nature, and dedicated people.

We talk about Columbus Day in NYC. The kids are off from school and there is a big parade down 5th Avenue. Italian Americans that are proud of their heritage honor the many social clubs that put on the parade. Each year people are very interested in who will be the Grand Marshall. Since this parade is always so close to election day every politician,local and national,struts their stuff in the parade!

Cadence,
was thinking when and how to finish this so long thread? but it becomes more and more interesting and this is because of your thoughtful postings too...
many can hear only words of Ann,hero:poor Harry and the anger answer of Holly... but your remark:
@"In the film “The Third Man”, Orson Welles’s character, the rogue Harry Lime, famously says that Italy for 30 years had war, terror and murder under the Borgias but in that time produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance; Switzerland had 500 years of peace and democracy—and produced the cuckoo clock"...
what associations!
must rethink and re watch these both movies...

Nice thread)) actually for me one of possible alternatives is Uzbekistan (3-5 times visited some places of the country, both cities and countryside, and stayed 1-2 month; I would freelance there as I do here). Do you think it is wise of me Halima? Which city\region you would recommend me?
However, more probably I would move to Turkey: nice country also but sounds just more stable than ex-USSR countries in Middle Asia (which I love very much). So that, if I purchase real estate in Turkey, I can be sure that my son would safely inherit it some day.
What do you think of my plans?
Lidia,privet!
Так странно общаться на CS, т.е Online...
Не лучше ли приехать на недельку к нам?! Прямой поезд Саратов-Ташкент! Посетим базары,покушаем плов,шашлык, поедим арбузов,дынь,винограду с лепешками и поговорим обо всем!
Хочу построить CS Hostel.Уже купила участок на 6 соток, всего 20 км от Ташкента,от метро добираться только одной маршруткой.
UZBEKISTONga MARHAMAT!

Ой, у вас что-то грандиозное)) вот не знали мы, когда были в РУз)) а где именно будет хостел? Обязательно приеду посмотреть и помочь по мере возможности! Кстати, спасибо за приглашение. Да, поезд прямой, красота! А давайте сначала Вы к нам - у меня загранпаспорт кончился, новый делается не скоро((
Кстати, я увидела Ваш пост http://www.couchsurfing.org/group_read.html?gid=44642&post=9748226 (ответ ROSIWIEN). Думаю, что с регистрацией и симкартой помочь не так сложно, хотя тоже бывают нюансы (регистрация - требует неск. часов времени, симкарта - вопрос доверия), а вот насчет пригласительного письма в НС была дискуссия, и сошлись во мнении, что это жуткий геморрой и только для близких родственников нормально уделить столько времени и усилий. Так же и у нас в России. Но не в этом дело, мой вопрос касается не приглашения, а регистрации, для друзей. Хотя уже вопрос не актуален, все же хочу попросить ответить мне http://www.couchsurfing.org/group_read.html?gid=127&post=12634537, прокоментировать, что это было))
Лида.
Lidia,
Для граждан России все оченЬ просто:
покупаешь билет без никакого приглашения, первые 3 дня живешь без регистрации,потом надо зарегистрироваться в самом дешевом отеле, их здесЬ тысячи!

Lidia,
@'However, more probably I would move to Turkey: nice country also but sounds just more stable than ex-USSR countries in Middle Asia (which I love very much). So that, if I purchase real estate in Turkey, I can be sure that my son would safely inherit it some day'...
Yes, You are right!
Если покупать недвижимость в Турции, то лучше купить землю под стройку или совсем убитый дом.Я могу помочь с бригадой строителей из Ташкента, обойдется в два раза дешевле. Они имеют опыт работы в Турции.

Большое спасибо, Халима. А о Вашем проекте хостела расскажете?

Hi DARRELL,
the train #006 is called: Moscow-Tashkent.
assume, that the train Saratov-Tashkent goes through ATIRAU, but must check that.

@Halima...I wrote you a response re. Chiang Mai and for some reason CS would not let me post it, and to add insult to injury, the message seems to have gone ...poof!
When I have time I will rewrite and try to post again :)
I just found this great website that might sway your opinion of where you would live: it compares cost of living, restaurants, rent, taxis, etc. from one city to another worldwide.
I created another thread for it, but I figured it might be relevant here, too:

Brigitte - first of all my condolences on the loss of two of your children. I cannot begin to imagine the pain of dealing with such a tragedy.
The German politics that you have described sounds like the UK....without the 'Made in Britain' pride which disappeared many years ago.

Some controversial thoughts are published by @TheEconomist...
The foreign-born are more successful in Britain than in most places.
