Kyoto.
I love Japanese society, it is complete opposite of the disorder and chaos I encounter in my daily life living in California. People leave leave their bikes outside without locks. I had my bike stolen within a few months of buying one back home. Always have to keep an eye out in case someone tries to harm me in any way, and it is really stressful living in the city here. In Tokyo, I felt calm even in a city that is more bustling than any I've been to. People there feel invested in their society, I think, because they take such great civil care. I don't think I ever saw any trash just all over the place like I do in Los Angeles or San Francisco. Nor do I think I saw any homeless people, considering their homelessness rate is 0.
Personally, I want to live in such a society where I can just live my life and work on my craft. Pay taxes, get some great societal benefits for it such as a working public transit system.. Having lived in USA and previously India, I can say with great confidence that my two weeks in Japan were some of the best and calmest so far in my 30 years. It just sucks that I struggle with learning new languages, and I only know english somewhat well.
I'd love to live in kyoto along the river, and just work on side projects and maybe teach programming or start/work at a company there. If someone can recommend me how to do that, that'd be great! Or if you want to hire someone who can do basically anything (business to engineering) at your company!
