I'm a US citizen but my folks were weird missionary types so I actually grew up in Japan until I was 14. I like Oakland well enough, but I passionately do not want to die in this country so I think about emmigrating all the time. The only problem is getting a work visa without a university degree. Although I suppose that working under the table is an option.
I'd go back to Japan in a second if I could, but it's very hard to get work and a place to live as a foreigner. There is the huge homeless/squatter encampment in Tokyo, though. I know there's an official Occupy Tokyo that does demonstrations and marches (and can't camp out, sadly) but this other spot precedes that by decades.
I lived in Taiwan for a month and it was amazing. There are these fantastic parks and open-air tea shops everywhere and there are a ton of cool people and museums. I'd go there, but I don't speak Mandarin and you have to have a university degree to teach English.
Costa Rica is rad. I spent about 8 months there teaching English under the table. The only thing is that there are a ton of Americans going there and trying to retire and shit and it'd feel kind of imperialistic to move there. I loved it there, so as a US passport holder I kinda want to stay away and leave the place alone.
I've never been too terribly interested in Europe, but lately that's changed a little.
I don't know. All this to say, really, that yeah I think about leaving the US frequently, but I'm not really sure how to go about that.
What country are you currently a citizen of? Have you considered immigrating, or would you like to immigrate to a different country?
I am U.S. Citizen, and I sometimes consider immigrating to Canada or Australia.
