It all depends on what lifestlye you like, and what hobbies,business you do . for trading ,,in Asia -pacific region you need to trade the US markets in the evening/night , for the mediteranian region it would be in the afternoon /evening . FX / currency would different times again what culture do you like ? european , arab,south american or Asians ? what religion do you prefer,,,christian, moslem or Buddist ,etc.? each country has specific culture related. to religion. do you prefer warm climate or cold climate ? what kind of taxes would you want to pay ?depends on your citizenship deemed residence staus if you can defer taxes . married or single ? then narrow down the choices , take a holiday ,and meet a few people to experience the local lifestyle.
Why not? The countries are quite similar in many ways - climate, geography, parts of culture. Japan has shintoism and buddhism, Taiwan has taoism, to my understanding they are not completely different. Even though I like that area the most myself as well, the taxes are not that low and living can be a bit on the expensive side. I haven't seen the OP talk about taxes yet.
I'm not sure whether you are talking real ex-patriation (aka citizenship change), or if you are just looking for foreign residency. I realize your handle is anime-related but I will not assume that you are Japanese-American. Even if you are Japanese-American though, good luck getting Japanese citizenship. If you are not full blooded Japanese, you have not a shot in hell frankly speaking. We are talking about the most xenophobic country in the first world, (and damn near the world altogether). Not that I don't like the Japanese, but we just have to realize, they really don't like us (non-full blooded Japanese) from an ethnicity perspective. I mean they really don't like that about you, even if they don't show it. At any rate, while I agree Asia is the place to be business-wise, I'm not so sure it is the place to be citizenship-wise. I think there are some (privately-sourced) western European solutions to this problem, which will not necessarily mean you have to live in western Europe... I agree with some of the others here that it is probably best you proceed with caution and diligence on this matter, and try a few locales out on a temporary basis before going all-in if we are talking about citizenship change.
Strange. When I last looked into it, vodka, loose women, and cocaine were all cheaper in Russia than USA.

I don`t look that far, and i hope that point in my life will never come.I don`t want to maintain that mummy type of body and prefer to die when it discontinues function properly.You can try to live 300 years if you want.But that`s you, not me. I`d prefer to die on a fresh chick And Russia is not all about Moscow,anyway.But if you don`t like it, then fuck Moscow and...fuck Russia,TOO!Fuck everything that you don`t like...I wanna see more happy people, too.I agree I`d like to go to Nepal.But i need a fresh chick to go with me!
