RE: Imagine a Morning Like This!
We were looking to relocate to Singapore, once. Malaysia just happen to be next door, though the recent religious reactionary policies give us a pause regarding moving to Malaysia.
Canada we looked into because much of nature has been preserved and people there seem less driven to acquire and consume. I have not visited recently, but at least in Montreal, the people were more communal and public transport allowed for small grocery establishments to thrive, which also seemed to influence people to plan for day or two in advance, rather than weeks to months in food purchases.
Hmmm, but Malaysia (opposed to canada) isn't permafrost for most of the year :)
I remember a 2 week period in Canada where they were comparing the temperatures of Ottawa to that of Mars (some aspect), and Ottawa was said to be colder ;). Could be facetious. However, if I went outside for too long ~5 min, I risked my contacts in my eyes freezing...
This is all to say, we love canada for the summers but winter has made it impossible to consider. (for us) :)
Though a beautiful place no doubt!
Where are you presently?
We are basking in the warm weather of Texas.
Ah Texas. I would never have guessed! When do you think you'll be making the move?
We are not sure, yet. We are comfortable, which is a problem in itself when considering change.
Ahhhh, then why is change necessary?
I foresee trouble in the US with her current economic and political model, which was sold all over the world. I think the economy shift outlined in "Sacred Economics" may occur as an inevitable consequence of the failing economic model, without conscious policy, which would be uncomfortable in a place that seems headed for politically instability.
I came to the same conclusions brother. I figured 1st world countries (especially the states) would be hardest hit with economic disruption. America's economy is quite fragile. So, like any good patriot, I got out of dodge :)
I welcome you in SE asia :)
