Imagine You Were an Expatriate (1 Viewer)

[Mister CIA]

Where would you live?

Pleasant climate, geographical beauty, political stability, cheap cost of living, and an abundance of attractive women would form the cornerstones of my decision making process. Can anyone convince me that Chile is not the slam dunk #1 destination?

Santiago brings a cosmopolitan flair while the rest of the country seems blissfully isolated from, well, everything.

I'll post links, pics, and references unless I'm distracted by squirrels, which is usually the case.

Chile is chilly.

Thinking of getting a winter flat in Arica.

Do it

 

[AAABatteries]

Since I'm already imagining, can I go ahead and imagine I'm black with a big penis?

 

[AAABatteries]

Also, what do I do if I'm already Chilean?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

New Zealand. #1 in human freedom. And it's got hobbits and ####.

You can hook me up with a hot Chilean sugar-mama.

TIA

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

Elaborate, por favor.

Burgas, Bulgaria

You've been there?

Awesome place, spent a decent amount of time there in the early 2000s. Bulgaria has a strange culture, but it's pretty interesting and the people are pretty cool. Have some good stories from my time there.

Don't have to imagine. I was an ex-pat.

Northeastern Illinois - check.

South China. Maybe Nanning.

That's silly. Just imagine you have a big black penis. Much more interesting situation.

I'm a fan of "House Hunter's International" as well. It's inspiring to see people going after their dream. Lots of awesome locales.

I went there last year -- twice!

 

[sporthenry]

Santiago is nice and all but has a very American feel to it. It is also fairly expensive so you aren't getting a huge discount from that perspective. Also, not a lot of English is spoken there. Girls are cute but Argentina has hotter/more willing girls.

San Felipe, Mexico. Birthplace of the fish taco!

If you are a man obviously Saudi Arabia is the place to be.

Unless you are into Saudi men. In that case I highly recommend Bahrain.

Im pretty sure liking other men is illegal in both those countries.

The Holiday Inn in Manama is full of surprises.

I've been an expatriate several times now, including in Illinois

Chile is on the list of nice places but it does have a bit of a weird dynamic with respect to the Pinochet era, similar to South Africa and Apartheid and to some extent Spain and the Franco era (although that is getting to be a long time ago). It's just a vibe that something is not quite right. Chileans are not very likely to do something drastic about it though.

Bahrain is invisible to Allah, or so that is the story.

Just because it's named after your favorite dish doesn't mean it's a great place to live. Personally, I'd prefer to live somewhere that hasn't had a bloody military coup followed by thousands of disappearances during my lifetime.

So Detroit is out then?
