- treprinum 3y ago...or nice warm winters. Nobody wants to be there between June-September, but outside that it's much better than suffering in rainy gloomy Scotland or another unfortunate European country. And your tax is 0% as a bonus. There is also Andorra with 10% tax but it can get ugly during autumn/winter there as well.
- martinald 3y agoI don't mean the weather. I mean the horrendous 'bling' culture, complete car dependency that would make even LA blush and everything that goes along with it. While Dubai is a massive impressive display of what humanity can do so quickly, the place gives me the shudders. Obviously YMMV but it is not comparable to Japan.
- treprinum 3y agoYeah, it's different, in many ways Dubai is what future looks like these days whereas Japan looks like what future looked like in the 80s. One can isolate oneself from the bling culture by staying in the Internet City or similar zones where there are mostly geeks around and just explore engineering marvels.
