So another thread ( https://lemmy.world/post/17746018 ) got me wondering… How many people would want to move to another country?

Just to provide a concrete scenario, let’s assume that in your current country you (magically) have a decent-ish job. They open up offices in another country of your choosing, and you have the option of moving there and work for an equivalent living wage.

They’re able to get visas set up (however improbable that may be) for you and any family, but you have to go through the process of finding housing, physically moving your belongings and anything else you need to set up.

What countries would you take the offer to move to, if any?

        Please don’t listen to the other guy. London is huge and incredibly diverse and there’s plenty of great people.

        Londoners are the worst form of Brit available. They’re like if you bought a Brit off wish dot com and they posted it from China in a bag with no padding so it was irrevocably damaged upon arrival and its entire vocabulary contains only bleating about Oyster cards and folding bicycles

            A great caricature of Londoners is Twenty Twelve, and the follow up programme, W1A

            Some amazing catchphrases

            The fact is the catchphrases are catchy
