There is no thing like a "safe area". All areas are safe equally (we have no street gangs shooting each other). There is a different price scale: as close you are to the center of the city (Kremlin) as higher the price will be. These are the prices (they are in rubles. $1 USD is about 80 rubles, so you can calculate): https://translate.google.com/transla...yu-kvartiru%2F - about $1000 USD a month for a two room apartments. Not a lot IMHO (crisis).

Interesting - it wouldn't allow me to click any of the options, but would a gringo get that price?

In fact they are not. My city is much safer than yours. Much more corrupted? Yes of course. But not a gangsta place for sure.

Our goal was to move to Hawaii. We have a small condo in Honolulu which we've been renting out. The kid was going to go off to college and we were going to rent out the house here and move to Hawaii. Kid went off to college and... came back a few months later. (She's enrolled to a local college and staying at home with us, which is fine.)

I know it's not "expat" but... might as well be. And much safer.

We will end up with a house either on Hawaii or Kauai. We love both islands. But that’s not expating. It would be for vacations.

I will agree. The same I can say about NYC and LA. Many loves them. But for a Russian they are not good as well. Been there, know what I'm talking about. Hope you've been to Moscow to have your personal opinion.

Moscow is very huge. It's the largest city in the whole West World. It's larger than some countries. And here everyone can find just everything... Want a safe and silent old life? It's here. Want night clubs, restaurants and pubs? They are here. Want supper-duper shows and concerts? They are here - even Metallica will sing for you in Russian (for real). Are you a gun shooter? The World's largest shooting range is here. Want sex? Pay $100 for the entrance and have 10's (literally) of super hot girls (not hookers - you pays $100 for shows, security guards and the internal infrastructure) for a night if your health can handle so many ;) Need a good medicine? It's here and it will cost you 10 times less than in the USA. There is such a thing like a medical tourism. Don't want high taxes? Here you will pay 6% officially. IRL you won't pay anything (there is no prison time for tax evasion, so people just don't pay taxes ;)). Wanna good food (you see there are not many fat people in Russia)? We have it. Course if you want KFC, MacDonald's or other shit, you will find it here as well. Man, even a California sushi roll is much better in Moscow than in LA (I've tried 'em here and there). Even Japan people say we do them better than... in Japan.

And Moscow never sleeps. Watch this video (I insist ;)). It's a Russian White House:

I went from Vegas to the Netherlands... Rotterdam actually... I wouldn't move to Amsterdam unless you are looking for expensive, overpriced homes in the city centre and want to be bombarded with stoned tourists from Italy and the UK.

Rotterdam and Den Hague are much less touristy and affordable. As Vegas is about half of what LA is, the same is true of Rotterdam and Den Hague. I'd probably recommend Den Hague over Rotterdam just because it survived WW2 very well. There's a more old-world feeling to Den Hague. Rotterdam is all modern architecture since the Nazis firebombed the entire city.

As for ease of living... everyone here speaks English, and they do so freely so its easy to acclimate.

Public transportation is excellent. You can easily get around using it. With that, a bike, your legs and Uber you don't need a car.

Health insurance is 1/10 of the price in the US. I went from $1400 a month to $160 a month.

And one thing no one is discussing... getting residency status is not easy in any non-third world country. I looked into Italy first... its almost impossible to get a permanent residency permit. The Italian govt made it difficult to stop the immigrants being dropped off on their shores.

Its easy to get residency for 7 yrs here as an American through DAFT. With a lawyer its about a $10,000 investment, without $7500

Here's a step-by-step guide...

The funny thing is that you will get the residency status just easily if you are some "refugee" from a 3rd-world country like Nigeria or Yemen. If you are from America, the Ukraine or Belorussia... um, you won't (7 years is a long time...) This is how almost all the old European county laws work today.

I really want to go there. But I think what people are saying is, in many destinations Americans are given different prices. London = same price for everyone, NYC = Same price for everyone, Tokyo = same price for everyone, unless you want japanese pussy or taxi, then you pay more, what about Moscow? Will you tell me that I get a brick of rubles and I get in that club for 8000₽ and I, as a non-russian speaking American, will get the good girls and good service? I would hope so, but....

All true, except that Moscow is not a part of "West World," like you said.

And on top of that it's a gigantic city that will suck you dry, like all big cities anywhere. But that's just my personal taste.

Why isn't it a part of West World? I didn't get that shit. Are you on drugs? Over 40% of Europe belongs to Russia. Show me a bigger European country. Moscow is located in Europe. It's not Asia. China and Australia are Eats. A part of Russia like Vladivostok is East too. But Moscow is West. Look at the map already.

This is a little geographical lesson to you my young friend. Now about the other point. Everyone knows how much investments Russia has made to the Western culture, technologies etc. Need examples? Can you find Poland somewhere in the Western history? In its ass maybe...

No. The prices are same here for everyone. Too many people from around the world live in Moscow (it's like a Babylon). If you enter some Irish pub at the night, the people there will be speaking Irish. That's because most of visitors there are from Ireland. Do you think the pub owner is so stupid to serve them booze for a higher price? If you go to a club where you have to pay for the entrance, the price is standard and written on its site. Nobody can charge you more (you may not pass their face control, but it's a different story). Even if you are going to brothel, the prices for all girls are also on the site. There are no tips etc. The same is about taxis etc. You pay as it was calculates and suggested by Uber, Yandex taxi etc. No tips. And it doesn't matter which language you speak and what's your skin color.

The only thing: basic knowledge of the Russian language needed...

I've seen a lot of them here in pubs (and you can see too, when you'll visit Moscow). They speak like English... but it's a very weird English. I was working with Irish and Scottish people when I was young. I know how they speak. A cup of tea is a coop of teaa. A bus is a boos. Russia is Rooshaa. Etc...

She says that here everybody gives you change. That's absolutely true. But I'll tell you more... If you are go to a supermarket and have less money than needed. You'll be told like "ok, pay the difference next time". They don't have your ID's etc. It's just the next time you will pay it because... I don't know. Because you forgot to pay it before. Or a supermarket has some super-duper discount card. Don't worry. When you are standing in a line, someone behind you will give you his card to save 10% or something like that.

This happens in small towns in America and in neighborhoods like New York City, too. Especially when people see you and know you are from around there. It's less like that with total strangers.

In Russia it works everywhere right from school. Imagine, you are a kid who is sitting with his classmate on exam. You need to write some formula. Where this formula is? Right it's written on her leg under her skirt. And course she will move the skirt off and show it to you (a lifehack to my American friends). A cheating of system is in the Russian blood

Tasty1 · 04-07-2020, 11:36 PM

I already travel 9 years and stay everywhere minimum 1 month till 1 year.

My plan was to explore Panama this year, Bocas del Toro and near San Blas Islands.
And looking into France, Spain and Portugal if the world stays crazy and i want to stay in Europe.
Mexico is also good for a few months a year.

Countries i could live, Brazil where everything is getting cheaper and cheaper cause of the fail of Brazilian Real. But also a country you want to be able to leave whenever the shit hits the fan.

But i think i stay travelling hopping from beach to beach and stay a few weeks/months. Don't want to live longer than 1 month in a big city. I prefer quiet beaches and islands.

(She's enrolled to a local college and staying at home with us, which is fine.) I know it's not "expat" but... might as well be. And much safer. __________________ “The choice is no longer between right or left. The choice is between normal and crazy.” - Sarah Huckabee Sanders YNOT MAIL \| THE BEST ADULT MAILING SOLUTION

I wouldn't move to Amsterdam unless you are looking for expensive, overpriced homes in the city centre and want to be bombarded with stoned tourists from Italy and the UK. Rotterdam and Den Hague are much less touristy and affordable. As Vegas is about half of what LA is, the same is true of Rotterdam and Den Hague. I'd probably recommend Den Hague over Rotterdam just because it survived WW2 very well. There's a more old-world feeling to Den Hague. Rotterdam is all modern architecture since the Nazis firebombed the entire city. As for ease of living... everyone here speaks English, and they do so freely so its easy to acclimate. Public transportation is excellent. You can easily get around using it. With that, a bike, your legs and Uber you don't need a car. Health insurance is 1/10 of the price in the US. I went from $1400 a month to $160 a month. And one thing no one is discussing... getting residency status is not easy in any non-third world country. I looked into Italy first... its almost impossible to get a permanent residency permit. The Italian govt made it difficult to stop the immigrants being dropped off on their shores. Its easy to get residency for 7 yrs here as an American through DAFT. With a lawyer its about a $10,000 investment, without $7500 Here's a step-by-step guide... https://daftvisa.wordpress.com/step-by-step-guide/ __________________ Michael www.AdultBizLaw.com

My plan was to explore Panama this year, Bocas del Toro and near San Blas Islands. And looking into France, Spain and Portugal if the world stays crazy and i want to stay in Europe. Mexico is also good for a few months a year. Countries i could live, Brazil where everything is getting cheaper and cheaper cause of the fail of Brazilian Real. But also a country you want to be able to leave whenever the shit hits the fan. But i think i stay travelling hopping from beach to beach and stay a few weeks/months. Don't want to live longer than 1 month in a big city. I prefer quiet beaches and islands. __________________ everything is fake

I only go back to USA 2 or 3 times a year to visit family. I couldnt be happier. USA life is just boring to me, but thats just my opinion. ALSO lost 100lbs since leaving without even trying. So thats a bonus.

It's a fairly relaxed town, great food and nightlife, 30 minutes out from a bigger city, Puerto Plata. Over leveraged airbnb owners are going to go belly up real fast, fire sales are already happening now with both villas and condos.
