Silly Frenchman!......Oops..Canadian!

no :1orglaugh

Japan

Portugal

There is no place like home Bat, stay there. :)
safe and cheap = impossible

Japan is cheap? ........ one of the most expensive.

Isn't Japan insanely expensive to live?



Battuss, look at Vancouver island, BC, Canada. The weather is as you described, if you don't mind rain you're good to go. From what I hear the cost of living isn't as high as it is in Vancouver, so that might be just what you're looking for.

lol come to the west, no one likes you stupid frogs, i have few friends in montreal, u can take your inbred culture and shove it becuase no one gives a fuck but the spec of french idiots in canada. i hope Trudeau is rotting in hell he is the idiot who made the country have an even bigger divide.

In my opinion, Thailand is the perfect place to live. It has all the right elements for a non-citizen to live like a king. It is crazy cheap. It is a stable economy with a stable political system and respect for authority and the law, so it isn't completely corrupt (relative to most countries in the region that is). The infrastructure is first-world standards so the banking, transportation, telephone, electrical grid...systems all work fine. The weather is tropical. The culture is enriching to be around. They are a proud country and people of their history and culture and are mostly friendly and accepting of foreigners. The food is awesome. There are a ton of neat side trips to make in the country and to surrounding ones.

sounds like you are describing florida (no income tax from what i have heard, lots of hot chicks).

Ive been to Thailand a lot of times and im not sure if its the right place for me at this time.

Why would you want to leave Holland? I would love to live where you are.

I cant just walk into Canada and live there man..

Cheap? Hell no.

You have got to be joking.
the taxes in both countries and the cost of living would be no better than europe.
I was toying with the idea of living in Vanuatu.No income tax relatively cheap to live,great climate,friendly people who leave you alone but I just felt out of place there.
I think i have become too used to the aussie way of life.

The winters suck, since the euro prices doubled and in some cases trippled..and the more money i make the more the goverment wants from me. All the bills lately are driving me insane.

Come and visit someone here, stay and visit for up to 6 months. In that time you'll meet a nice Canadian girl who will marry you in order for you to stay here.



Where there's a will there's a way.

Still i want something more..err..exotic.

they now have laws "preventing" this, u need to be married for at least 2 years or have to be shipped back to your country.

just burn the cash..literally.

:winkwink:

I doubt you will find a first world country with the freedoms of the Netherllands. Third world countries are a bit of an adventure but if you want a familiar culture and are willing to live on an Island check out the Dutch Antillies or St Maarten

Then you will have to rethink your "shirtsleeve weather" thing, because most exotic places I know of are blistering hot and humid much of the year.

Yeah i thought about the Dutch Antilles...i will find some info on that.

He could claim that terrorists are after him because of his website and beg for refugee status :D


Canada grants people asylum like nobody's business.

what's the taxes in aussie then?

:glugglug

Those are 2 expensive choices though. I wonder if the Dominican Republic or another cheap island in the Carribean offer enough lifestyle and safety to consider.

You are looking at anything from 33% -50% for good income earners plus 10% GST tax on everything you buy.

Battus why dont you try an offshore bank account and have your money wired there direct from your sponsors?

I think Mars was, but now that the nasa has landed on it I'm not sure anymore.

I live on Vancouver Island and I love it. It might not be 'exotic' but it's very beautiful. Sure it rains some, but we rarely get snow, never freeze our asses off in winter (today it's t-shirt weather), it's not scorching hot in the summer. Very mild, very green, very clean and safe if you have a family. Also, much, much cheaper than living in Vancouver. My home is 2500+ sq ft with a 180 degree ocean and mountain view for just $1250/month cdn. The city I live in is 1 hour by ferry or 20 mins by plane to Vancouver so very close if you crave something more urban once in a while. :thumbsup

How is it for pizza and KFC delivery? What about Chinese food?

You know, the really IMPORTANT things. :D

To my knowledge there is no income tax in the Dutch Antillies, I know there is none in St Maarten. The cost are not too bad and for a Dutch citizen I do not think their are any immigration issues.

Prices are tied to the US dollar so they are tied to earnings in this biz.

St Maarten is very urbanized but it has both a Dutch and French side and the French side of the island is wonderful.

I've been to Acapulco twice in the past 12 years, and I can say this much..... if you were to live there it would be CHEAP. As soon as you wander away from the touristy areas and into the actual city where people live, you could live like a fucking king even if you're only making a few grand US per month. The standard of living isn't bad either, just that water thing you have to watch out for. Buy bottled water.

Groceries and all that other shit you need to live on are pretty cheap, at least it was when I was there. Fifty USD goes a long way there. I talked to several people who live and work there and gave them an idea of what I made per month at the time and they all said I would have done very well there. I make much more now than I did then.

One of these years I may just "pull a Battuss" and look for somewhere exotic to relocate to. I can live anywhere and still be known as "that damned Canadian". :D

if I had some spare time I'd like to check out Chile...

Awesome women, beautiful country, but I'd be afraid that some dictator would put me to death for being the evil pornographer.

You are wrong. I'm in Europe every December and since the introduction of the Euro the cost of living there has skyrocketed. The cost of living in Australia is one of the lowest in the western world.

Canada :thumbsup

Australia is not in the western world, it is in the middle of the big pond surrounded by Indonesian hordes and penguins

this part I'd worry about too, would just have to ensure that anything adult related was run from somewhere else, by someone else...

True, it is located near Asia but it has a western culture.

Australia just isnt an option...

So for the Dutch Antilles look good.

Canada still is number one :thumbsup
