Taking everything factors ( cost, safety, environment, quality of education, standard of living ) into consideration, i would have to say Singapore is the best place to go.

Cost - Singapore is relatively cheaper than in countries like Japan/Korea. Eventhough countries like Thailand or Malaysia are cheaper but they are trailing behind Singapore in other equally important factors,

Safety - Singapore is one of the safest country in the world
Environment - Singapore is also one of the cleanest country in the world, low level of corruption ( meaning people follow strictly to rules and regulations ), multi cultural society, good and cheap food

Quality of education - Singaporean colleges and universities are renowed for their high quality and English is the main medium of instructions.

Standard of living - cosmopolitan living environment with all the necessary facilities available, excellent public transportations and almost corruption free government services

Singapore is a country with small population. Singapore is always on the look out to bring in as many highly skilled and qualified foreigners to work in there. One of the incentives given is the opportunity to secure Permanent Residency status after working there for a period of time.

If you study in Singapore, i do not see any problem for you go gain an employment in Singapore and eventually a permanent residency status or even a citizen later. Aside from western countries, many foreigners love to hold Singaporean passports because Singaporean can visit many countries eg US, Europe etc without a visa. It’s extremely difficult for Malaysian passport holders to obtain a US visa. The same goes to Thailand, Indonesia and several other countries.

Hi I’m Ms. Odith, I’m 28years old Filipina, presently working in Dubai as wedding and Event Planner and Coordinator in 4years. I’m planning to transfer and look for job in another country. Is london good to work and live? Any other country you can suggest for me? Why do you think this country is the best?Any important info or experience you can share to me is a big help. Thank you.

I’m not sure about other countries, but London’s events business is dead. I know because I work in it and there is really very little opportunity here right now… even for those that are already established.

Dubai or other Middle East markets might be your best chance of success right now.

Good luck

Yet go on twitter and other online places speaking with authority because "they're Iranian".

I ask because many of the opinions expressed online by self proclaimed Mousavi fans are not in line with what the man has said himself, especially in regards the West and Israel.

No Iranian politician even recognizes Israel or would refer to Palestinians as certain onhline Mousavi fans do.

Your thoughts are appreciated

I am sure there is a lot of misconceptions about this. People base their opinions on a half-heard news story, which itself reflects the bias of right-wing media.

I posted my own opinion to a Yahoo group. Someone said that he just hoped the Iranian working class would overthrow the theocracy. to which another person replied that we should offer critical support to Ahmajinidad's theocracy, because the alternative would be another unstable regime, an American puppet government and a repeat of the situation in Iraq.

I don't think the situation is at all simple and it is hard to see where it will go from here. I don't think we can take the simple position of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".

The regime in Iran is a theocratic regime, which is no friend of ordinary Iranians. However, a Mousavi-led government, would also be capitalist and would not represent the poor of Iran.

It is for Iranians themselves to sort out democratically. Democracy means "rule of the people". This would mean the working class entering the fray and the trade unions calling a general strike, to usher in real change. However, without any decent left-wing political party to lead the struggle, I think the outcome is very uncertain.

Besides the cost of living.

You cannot discount the cost of living. It is a very important reason. Another reason is that some of us did not have the opportunity to travel and experience other cultures when were were working all those years. At retirement, we have the opportunity to do things we did not get to do before. Also, it is not accurate to simply say ," Americans prefer to retire to other countries". SOME Americans prefer to retire to other countries, but they are only a small percentage of the total number of retired Americans. Some Americans retire to other countries to take up hobbies or volunteer work that they could not do before they retired. It does not mean they don't still love the U.S. Many foreign citizens also retire in the U.S. Americans are not the only people that like to retire in a country outside their own. many Canadians, Brits, Italians, Germans, among others , also retire outside their home countries.

Edit: for the other answerers…I live in Mexico and there are over 1.2 million American and Canadian citizens retired here. Some are rich, many are not. Many come here NOT to avoid taxes ( any money earned in the U.S. or any interest from the U.S. is still taxed in the U.S.) , but because their modest pension income goes a lot further here. There are many websites for Americans and others who want to retire in a foreign country. For examples, see below.
