So thinking of getting a new job.

And may as well think of relocating to another town/country at the same time, have no ties keeping me here really.

Given the world is your playground, where would you go?


Yes, yes I'm back.

Any other place in the civilized world is better than Italy when it comes to the amount of jobs available at the moment (except maybe for Greece), not to mention the average salary/cost of living ratio which is just insane.

Germany or Sweden would be my choices, but I'm not so sure anymore..
Poland would be a good candidate, too Razz

I always had a thing for Australia, but I have no clue how the living/working conditions are. I'd also be too far away from family Sad

My plan is to travel the world and find a place where I'd like to stay. A certain country or town may sound great in theory, but I have to see for myself...

Hard to tell. I would like to go somewhere where it's warmer and people in general are more tolerant and open-minded than in Poland. I have always dreamed about living in some wealthy country in Western Europe.

Or maybe someplace at the South Pacifc Ocean - warm, calm and far from the rest of the world and its problems.

Or Japan. Incredibly technologically advanced country. And those beautiful villages in the mountains with frequent rainy weather. I don't think, however, I could blend into the society very well. I rather prefer individualism. (Plus, I'm very lazy. Razz )

Actually Japan isn't hightech heaven. In reality it's still pretty much lowtech. Yeah propably Tokyo is somewhat developed but still Japan's society is aging society. So they have problem with adapting to high tech stuff. The hospitals doesn't work on weekends, the atm machines are not 24/7, most houses don't have heating. More here, good read:

This. Particularly in the Fukushima prefecture, you'll love the rainy days - your shoulders and hair will glitter with all kinds of rare elements you just can't get anywhere else. Well, maybe near Chernobil, but i heard it's rather dull there. Also, they have yearly massive earthquakes to keep your adrenaline up - you know, those 7+ you only get once in 100 years in your country. Not to mention they invented the word "tsunami". And they just can't get enough of the foreigners that do not manage to respect their miriad pointless customs and traditions and lovingly name them "baka gaijin".

Seriously now : i've been to South Korea, in Seoul for 3 months. Apart from the huge prices, and horrendously bad food (i lost 15 kg there), you have to put up with lots of racism, xenophobia and prejudice. Maybe Japanese are a bit more relaxed when it comes to other races, but don't expect to have an easy life there, particularly if you are not only a tourist.

Japan is fantastic, I'd go there. Two of my friends have worked there (one for 6 months the other for 5 year) and they both loved it and the culture. They felt accepted for sure. When I went to visit them we all went out with a bunch of work colleagues (Square Enix) and had a great time eating and drinking.

The work ethic there is insane though, family life isn't really suited if you ever want to see your kids/wife.

if you want crazy good wage and want an adventure , try west or east coast usa, since you dont have debt like most americans the wage is 100% yours, they need alot highly educated but more importantly smart people that cant be filled by domestic applicants which is the reason for the good wages.

Well if he's going to be a teacher in America, he probably won't be able to get a job since he's a non-unionized foreigner, and even if he did get the job he'd be paid even less than in Sweden. Not trying to be a negative nancy here, just it sucks to be a teacher in America.
