I work overseas and let me tell you you want stand a chance overseas. you will be ripped off and beaten in matter of minutes where ever your thinking of going. Oh yea most countries have real border control unlike america. They dont hand out visas. Quoting: panamaJJJ Wait to the first time you get sick and need a hospital you will suffer a painful flight home. You retards scream this shit but have no idea how great you have it here. SO STFU and deal with it. If you go overseas you probably coming back in a body bag. FYI most of the world hates americans these days yes that means you OP no matter your politics you are a american and they hate that!!! The best medical care I've ever received was in Mexico City and Thailand. In fact, I've flown several times to MXC from the 'medical hub' of Houston for better medical care, and including flight and hotel, it was less expensive than in the US. I've had the great fortune of lots of international travel for long periods of time. You are full of shit...or you are chosing the wrong countries and don't know how to conduct yourself while there. . Yeah I'm not buying into this fear crap either. There are tons of expats who couldn't be happier where they are now. Many have had to leave to get healthcare because here their medical bills would bankrupt them. Sure, many expats go back because they can't learn the language and get homesick but that's not me. The biggest thing is learning the language here, most people only speak Spanish. I never studied it, in fact I studied German and French, I picked it up through immersion but I'd reccomended studying at least some wherever you go. I have a pretty good grasp of Spanish and it gets much better when I'm immersed in it too. Fluency is top priority |

Lol this is so fucking stupid. Is it better than the usa, absolutely not, safer yes. Things will be different when millions of European Americans start fleeing, back to Europe, preferably to one location. This will be the place everyone will want to be and we will demand the freedoms we are accustomed too. This is where the fight should be, not America. Eastern Europe is basically my second home. I feel safer there then walking the streets of my own city but there is plenty of crime. If something is not locked down it is basically gone. |

U.S officials have suggested the crew of the CIA-operated surveillance aircraft tracking the missionary plane repeatedly asked Peruvian military officials to slow down the A-37's actions against the missionary aircraft, but the Peruvians cut corners in the established procedures and rushed with their shootdown orders. Tapes of the incident are not expected to be made public for awhile. But ABCNEWS has confirmed that an American crew member repeatedly asked Peruvian surveillance "are you sure this is a bad guy?" before shooting down the missionary plane. At another part of the tape, one U.S. crew members on the CIA surveillance plane says to another "I think we are making a mistake." A response is heard: "I agree."

User ID: 34126169 United States 05/20/2022 02:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP, Went on a blind date, long before the pandemic, with an ex-pat who'd left Vegas for Costa Rica. Quoting: NotStarvingActress Yes he still returned annually to Vegas to briefly visit with his family and old friends. So I asked him his very honest opinion of life abroad. Keep in mind he retired in his early 40's and is child-free, single, loves the beach & mountains. Yes he learned Spanish. 1) Locals view Westerners as rich, petty theft is rampant and local LE are lackadaisical. 2) If you're not Catholic & didn't grow up in Costa Rica you will always be viewed as an outsider. You can't own a business unless you marry a local. Not being Catholic he spent Sundays at the local Italian restaurant with the other ex-pats. (Owner married a young local girl.) 3) Bugs are a HORRIFIC problem and are EVERYWHERE especially during the rainy season. Think HUGE bugs in the toilet, in the bathroom, in the kitchen. NOTHING gets rid of them. 4) Anything that's not locally grown/made is very expensive. He arranged for family members to buy products from Amazon and then to ship it to him to save money. Took forever to get simple needed goods. Yes he still loved living in Costa Rica and got used to all of the downfalls. Still be forewarned. Similar situation here, but I went to an isolated area and made an effort to assimilate. I'll never go back. The beaucracy in this country is insane, but the way of life is worth it. An earlier poster mentioned high property prices in Europe, this may be true in Northern Europe, but if you can deal with it, look to places a long way from the cities. Your 300k will buy you a farm if you shop smart. Look at some of the Greek islands, good climate, relaxed living and great food, if that's your thing. Many expats everywhere too. When I was there last summer the vaccine gestapo was in full force. I was forced to take a nasal swab even though I already had a negative test. Seems the govt there is pretty authoritarian no? |
