For me, somewhere warm like Italy. In a villa overlooking a vineyard. The thought of sitting, watching the sun go down with a glass of red sounds idyllic.
Rather ironic how people are posting how they'd like to be miles from anyone on a social website ☺
I was requested to meet with a CEO of one of their divisions late on a Friday evening last year. And requested to be an hour earlier so we could go over protocols. He then invited me over to Seoul last year, I received more cultural awareness training.I know someone who went to live in South Korea for a time working for Samsung. In one early meeting he made the mistake of suggesting a better way of doing something than his boss had come up with. That was it - he was 'ghosted' from there on - never given any decent projects, never spoken to unless absolutely necessary, left off any social events - completely isolated for a year, then went home again. So if you are going to live in one of these areas 'know your place' I guess.
White folk were also such a rarity that people would literally come up to him in the street and say 'can I touch your skin?'
Like some other Asian countries, the Japaneses are unfailingly polite to your face but many are incredibly racist which is par for the course in a society that values conformity and collectivism.
did you try some bosintang/gaejangguk?Anyway in the end I found in Korea that getting drunk and eating out is a good way to build bridges.
Nope To be honest it was an experience. One night I just wanted a steak. When we got the menu it looked promising there was only steak on it. The bit I didn’t see, wasn’t translated, was that it came with five different courses of fish before that. But I quite like fermented squid.did you try some bosintang/gaejangguk?
Can't blame them for turning away asylum seekers. Look what Europe's open door policy has done...
In my neighbours house ...as that would mean they have moved ...
New Orleans?! Months and months of 100% humidity. No thanks!Anywhere I didn't have to put up with idiotic neighbours.
I actually like living in the North East so I'd probably go somewhere with better transport links, like somewhere with a Metro station. Jesmond perhaps.
Overseas. Another vote for Amsterdam or even New Orleans.
New Orleans?! Months and months of 100% humidity. No thanks!
and the fact it probably won't exist in 50 years due to sea level rises.
I know. I dare say there won't be much of Amsterdam in a few years as well

Sitting on the porch of my plantation house eating a Po'boy and a bag of Beignets and putting the odd hex on folk, I'd be pretty happy
The Dutch are leading the world in flood defences. I wouldn't bet against them just yet. The US is terrible at infrastructure unless it's national defence so there's no way I'd move to any climate change prone US location.
