Before considering moving somewhere, you need to do a ton of research. Then visit the place, maybe for an extended period of time. This is a difficult question, because, well, if someone asked about moving anywhere in the country your from, what would you answer. Your daily life brings up too many things to even begin to explain. Nowhere is about, say, mango and robotics. Life is full of suffering and drudgery and every day things like paying electricity bills and folding laundry. The world is covered by people who just get through the day and try to find something uinteresting that makes them happy.

All the posts are good posts, several by experienced people. But I have to add that many places on every continent are declining just like the United States. But the pendulaum swings both ways. Live a bit longer and you'll realize, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Lastly, Japan is nothing like the states, but people are people.
