    I could live happily in Cannes. A baguette, some butter a bit of wine and some cheese.

    Having lived in Boquete Panama I would certainly recommend it for many reasons . The weather is flawless average temp 75 degrees year round, American dollar currency, short ride to David on a very nice 4 lane new road for all supplies and simply beautiful scenery. Cost of living is about par with here so you do not even have to be wealthy. Oh and you are in American Central Time Zone .... and a retirement visa qualification entails proving a lifetime pension of 1000.00 US with an attractive senior discount package

    1. An olive and grape vineyard and house in the hills of Kefalonia, Greece, overlooking the crystal blue Ionian Sea.
    2. A ski chalet in the Swiss Alps (just for a couple of months a year).
    3. A hunting lodge in the Okavango Delta, Botswana, where I could sit on my balcony drinking G & T whilst watching the amazing wildlife.
    4. An old house and yacht in the harbour of Krk island, Croatia.
    5. A colonial lodge with my own cricket pitch in Shimla, India
    6. A beach house in The Seychelles.

    That's all. I'm not greedy :smile:

    There may be a lot of Brits living in Hong Kong soon. The UK said there are 2.3 million Hong Kong'rs that eligible to become British Nationals Overseas. Apparently there are 300K BNO's already. Basicaly 40% of Hong Kongs inhabitants could end up being Brits.
    China might not like to potentially loss 40% of the people.

    China is one of the most interesting and Beautiful countries in the world, dont confuse the chinese regime and the chinese people, they are entirely 2 different worlds, if the regime was not there IMHO i would say that it would be the most visited country on earth, you could just live in beijing alone and visit a whole new place everyday there for years, and never ever ever be bored.

    I'm not wealthy but could probably live almost anywhere comfortably with some exceptions. But, I told the wife, if China makes the Philippines their 24th Province we are leaving. Places of interest:

    Malaysia
    Colombia
    Uruguay
    Portugal

    2 Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. still get teary eyed, when i think of all the good times
    3 Izmir or indeed any city in Turkey crystal clear water, food, turkish welcome, history, culture, the cradle of civilisation
