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.

Cons

• Weather
• Belgium is a small country. You cross a border quickly. And borders suck.
• Higher criminality (?)
• Expensive

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
• Mirto is living here (opening a nomad space at the moment)

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 than Lyon and near to Brussels.
