Best Place to trade in the world - Quality of Life

Discussion in 'Politics' started by CPTrader, Sep 21, 2003.

  1. ETs,

    This has been a truly great thread and I pray it stays that way, gets better and stays focused on the thread question.

    Please if you wish to have a debate on U.S. vs the rest of the world, please begin a new thread in a different forum.

    The focus of this thread is on how a trader ( a true 'free-man') can maximize the freedom and hopefully wealth of the profession to become an international citizen with a high quality of life in a borderless world.

    Many many thanks to mark1, damir, Nana trader, and everyone who has been so helpful. Keep it coming.

    It seems there is some common agreement in the following places as being great locales:

    Barcelona, Spain/Canary Islands
    Geneva
    Paris
    Vancouver
    Thailand

    I've only personally been to Vancouver (in a November), so it was rainy and glooomy, but I did get the sense that it could be a fabulous city to live in. Though it did seem a little pricey for me.

    I am seriously excited by Barcelona and Thailand and also have in mind other places mentioned in the thread - St Thomas-USVI, Cuba, Morocco and Turkey.

    Any more shared expereinces in these places or new ideas would be appreciated.

    Maybe in time we can plan yearly retreats in different exotic locales to meet one another and learn about different cultures and people.

    Once again, many thanks to all!

  3. Whistler B.C. in the winter WOW WOW
    Villefranche sur Mer in the Spring
    San Diego in the Summer
    Cancun in the Fall.

    If you thought Vail or the Autrian Alps were great, you gotta see Whistler, its unreal. Dying to go back!!

  5. I'm quite surprised no one has mentioned Greece or one of the Greek Islands. I just remembered that a friend enthusiastically recomended Greece to me a few years back.

    Any thoughts??

    threat you so nice. I am not insane person, and never get
    emotionaly envolved with them. But isn't it part of the reason
    for living here.

    -Deep culture. (Crazy to wai every bargirl)
    -Exotice enviroment (with katoeys and touts surronding)
    -Distinctive lifestyle (Owl lifestyle)
    -Beaches (may be Bitches)
    -Eat food and listen to Lao musics (even do't speak thai a word say "sabaidee what?"

  10. Sorry for that. Since you had many country listed, I didn't expect
    them to be your downgraded countires. i had just a rough look

    How about cost of living and doing things there?
