Decisions

In the past month, I must have been so elated that I didn't feel the need to post. LOL

Well, David broke up with me on Sunday. I will own the judgment that he is fickle and flaky, since he was chasing after a whore for most of the time we were "together." And David is the type of guy who is always looking to the door, to see if someone better is walking in; it's better not to have to deal with his indecisiveness. In a way, I am glad this is over. A good decisive ending at least.

I am considering to where I want to expatriate. I was thinking of South Africa, but the high crime is a deterrent to going there. On the plus side, the cost of living is very affordable, and gay marriages are legal there. Health care is on my own, but the price is still affordable, if I need to pay for my own procedures. I like the climate.

I am looking at Tasmania. The cost of living is almost as high as here, so I would have trouble affording it. On the other hand, they have government health care. Crime is lower than here. I like the climate.

There is Mexico. I speak some Spanish. The cost of living is a little less than here for most things, and much lower for real estate where I am looking at on the plateau, so I think that I could afford that. I will need to run the numbers to be sure. Health care is affordable, if I need to pay for my own procedures. I like the food. I like the climate. Crime can be an issue in some parts of the plateau, so choosing will need to be done carefully.

At one point I had considered expatriating to China, around Yunnan Province. I do speak Chinese, but I don't think I know enough of it to get along. I know that I would eventually learn more, but there is a time lag for the learning curve. It is very affordable. Health care would be OK, as I could afford to pay for my procedures there.

If I were to do this selection intelligently, I would create a excel spreadsheet to facilitate comparison.

Decisions. Decisions.
