Lyon
Where is the best city for us to live:
Brussels
Pros
- Belgians are cool!
- Brussels has a perfect atmosphere.
- Very central for the interesting parts of Europe.
- Very central in Belgium (all cities are cute in Belgium).
- Belgium is not a nation-state. People are used to other cultures.
- Can learn a new language.
- guaka and Dante. ;)
Elsy
- Brussels is relatively near to Hamburg. (Important if keeping current job)
- Very international, good to find a new job if necessary.
Julien
Cons
- Weather
- Belgium is a small country. You cross a border quickly. And borders suck.
- Higher criminality (?)
- Expensive
Elsy
Julien
- Most people speak french.
Lyon
Pros
- Probably the best city in France.
- Mountain is not far.
- We'll probably end up here at some point in the future. The question is, do we want to move in here now?
Elsy
- Probably easier to get a visa because I already lived there.
Julien
- It's in France, way easier for the paper-society.
- Can start a business way more easily (I suppose) than as a stranger.
Cons
Elsy
- The worst location to keep current job. (?)
Julien
- It's in France. French people piss me off.
- France is a very internet-retarded country.
Barcelona
Pros
- Can learn a new language.
- BIG city. Bigger than the others.
- International city.
- Beach, mountain not far.
- Least expensive
Elsy
- The best location to keep current job (?)
- Relative advantage to find a job due to the language
- My favourite city of all three
Julien
- Big nomadbase potential :D
- Good tech background in Spain.
- Lots of punks.
Cons
- Terrible geographic location in Europe.
- Crisis hit Spain more than any other country in Europe. Lots of unemployed.
Elsy
- People are racist against Americans.
- Spanish people piss me off.
- Probably difficult to get visa (too many latinamericans)
Julien
- It's in Spain. Latin people piss me off. Even more than the french.
- Lots of hippies.
- Lots of nationalists.
Other
- What about Lille? Still France but more central and near to Brussels.
