I live in America and want to move to another country. Any suggestions?
1. Australia
2. U.S.
3. Canada
U.K. has too many people crammed into a small island. (Same goes for Singapore and Hong Kong).
New Zealand has too few people and is too isolated.
India is too impoverished (Same goes for Britian’s former African colonies.)
What would be the best country to live in Europe?

I living in Australia believe that Australia is one of the greatest countries to visit. We don’t have lots of Western History but we are a free nation.
Otherwise I would go to Scotland. It is not as busy as England and it is a quite relaxing sort of place in the country

CANADA.

England or Canada. Both country are relatively safe and have a good standard of living. I doubt you want to go to some African nation that has English as its official language. USA.. Well, its fine too, but its a lot more dangerous compared to England and Canada.

Disneyland.
They speak classic easy to understand English for 5-16 year old to understand. The Disniks are very polite people and make sure you visit Mickyville the capital, home to English speaking movies.

depends on what you are looking for. if you are a socially liberal person, you might prefer canada over australia. canada is still a right wing country, but not as far right as australia. australia is also more racist, so if you are white, then australia will suit you fine. australia has much better weather also.
I live in Canada and am Canadian-born many generations back and love it, but the weather sucks so much! It is a great country to make money, be safe and have a relatively high standard of living depending what you do. I have lived in Australia too and it is nearly the same as Canada in most ways except the weather–Australia’s is much much better. The States is too hard to get into and riddled with crime and unfriendly people who have been tainted by politics and superpower-mentality. Been to England, loved it, but it’s very very expensive and fairly crowded. Scotland is better, yes. Of all of them, I would pick Canada or Australia–however, if you are looking for homogenized culture, Canada is totally immigrant-saturated now and in many cases, the major cities are becoming more Asian than anything….your call I guess for whatever you prefer.
I am a visible minority canadian. I live in canada and it’s good, but will like to move to europe. Could anybody tell me the best place to live in europe and how to go about it…thanks.
Hi, I am a hungarian living in the UK. I can say it is a very welcoming country to live if you have the legal status. Specially in the smaller cities and towns, you do not find a lot of discrimination or raceism (in the town where I live, crime almost not known!) and if you are ready to work (and you are allowed) and specially if you have a good profession, you will find life easy here. Or I would say easier than most european countries.
The weather is really bad, but you can get used to it!
Good luck!

I live in Melbourne Australia but over the past few years I have seen a lot of changes. The cost of living just keeps going up. A cup of coffee is around $3.40,
a one bedroom flat in a good suburb is $280 – $330K Fresh fruit and vegetables are expensive. 10 years ago it was quite cheap to live here .. but now it’s very costly. Housing is the most expensive consideration. If you’re prepared to move out into the new developments then you can still pick up a house for $500K but once you’re anywhere closer in you’re looking at $800K to $1 million plus.
Our wages aren’t that high – you have to work plenty of over time and keep an eye on your outgoing expenses if you want to be able to save money and move forward.
Still, having said that – the only other places I would consider moving to in the English speaking world would be the UK because I love the countryside and the entertainment (TV, music, radio) or New Zealand but I tend to think NZ may be a little too small town for me.
About the ethnic mix in Melbourne – we have had a tremendous immigration policy over recent years and you will see indian looking people everywhere – especially working in fast food outlets, telecommunications call/contact centres, IT help-desks, hospitals, working for the MET (public transport) etc. As far as Chinese asian looking people – they occupy complete suburbs and appear to have loads of money as houses are being brought up all over the place by cash wealthy asians. Asians are very good at business and nearly all milk bars / sweet/candy shops, fish and chip shops, hamburger joints and $2 everything type shops are all run by asian/chinese looking people.
So in a nutshell I would give the following:
Melbourne Australia
Housing – very expensive to buy, expensive to rent
1 bedroom flat $260 PW, 3 bedroom house $500 PW.
Food – expensive (especially fresh food from supermarkets)
Public Transport – quite affordable/reasonable
Taxes – moderate
Retail Tax GST/VAT – Australia has a 10% GST (good compared with the UK)
Fast Food – Around $8-10 for a small combo meal
Pizza – small pizza $8.50 – $12
Frozen Dinner – $8-$9
Coffee in cafe – $3.40 – $3.80
Cake (small) in cafe – $4.00 – $8.00
Electricity/Gas/Water – All expensive – prices have risen a lot over the past 3 years
Radio broadcasting licensing: Very open compared to other countries.
Anyone here can start their own narrowband broadcast radio station
using off-band frequencies.
Amateur Radio is good – 3 levels of licensing.
CB Radio – UHF and 27 mHz
Starting a small business: Good environment – easy to setup companies ..
Incorporation costs around $700
Petrol – somewhere around $1.40 a litre (varies a lot)
Radio mainstream: Commercial radio is full of ads and very limited playlists.
Government Radio and TV (ABC and SBS) are good and varied programming.
Supermarkets: Coles and Woolworths dominate the scene, Aldi are now becoming a viable alternative and IGA (Independent) are an expensive option if you’re not near one of the other supermarkets.
Best to always buy the “on special” items and save considerably.
Holidays in Australia.
Expensive – Accommodation is the biggest cost and dining in at the in-house
restaurants are expensive.
Restaurants:
Good restaurants you would expect around $60 per person
(expensive wine alcohol extra)
HOW TO LIVE CHEAP AND SAVE MONEY:
1. Eat in or eat cheap takeaway
2. Use public transport
3. Don’t go out for coffees and cake
4. Shop carefully with an eye on specials
5. Try to live close to public transport and not too far from the city.
6. Be prepared to live in a small flat rather than a house.
7. Don’t gamble
8. Have holidays at home
9. Be creative and flexible with how you run your expenses and life.
10. Don’t go to bars, fancy restaurants, designer shops and don’t borrow money
unless it’s to buy a house. Everything else, save up for it.
