Jerusalem. Reasons:
[1] your screen name translates to "good/OK" in local Arabic so you can answer both "Who are you?" and "How are you?" with the same sentence. Think of the efficiency gains!
[2] very multilingual society - Hebrew, Arabic, English, Russian, Yiddish, French, (Amhari?), Aramaic + others
[3] safe (yes), cheap, good internet, tourist visa renewable every three months by crossing border
- dorfuss 13y agocheap? come on! Jerusalem's not cheap at all!
- mjdn 13y agoYou might be right, and cheap is relative. I spent time there in 2007, which is a while ago. My money was in euro and I came from Ireland where cost of living was quite high. Both dollar and euro are now weaker against the shekel than in 2007, but I think it's still a good destination for someone from an area with high wages and comparatively strong currency. 1 Bed apartments can be had for between $500-$600/month and sharing is a lot cheaper than that. http://www.homeless.co.il/rent/inumber4=1$$inumber4_1=1$$searchfor=%D7%99%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%A9%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%9D http://www.homeless.co.il/rent/inumber4=1$$inumber4_1=1$$sea...
