Lemonade Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Struggling for a third. Argentina maybe. I hear only good things about it.I've got a mate who grew up there and he pretty much says it's a shithole with unbelievably high crime rates. In fact the reason his family decided to move away was due to having their house burgled for the umpteenth time. Everybody had to have bars on all their downstairs windows, and most people carried guns. Fuck that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaki Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Any Caribbean country - the beaches look so nice.Steer clear of the Dominican Republic unless you enjoy constant hassle. I suppose it's the same in a lot of places that are poor and you can't really blame them but I couldn't really relax, despite the nice looking beaches (and biatches) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Costa Rica is one of these weird countries that should be third world but has a pretty stable economy. I saw a documentary about it and all the American ex pats who set up home there. I change my choice to Costa Rica, seems less stabby.

I change my choice to Costa Rica, seems less stabby.Etnies just launched a campaign called "buy a shoe, plant a tree" whereby (as you can imagine) for every pair of shoes bought, they plant a tree in the Costa Rican Rainforest. I think it's a pretty great idea as the Costa Rican rainforest is one of the most "oxygen rich" sources in the WURLD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I change my choice to Costa Rica, seems less stabby.they don't have an army and spend a lot of money on eco-tourism projects and social housing. it has bad parts and drug problems the same as any country, particularly in the popular surf and beach resorts like jaco. it's not perfect but they do a lot of things right. we saw crocodiles and a monkey climbed on my wifes head. it was ace.

Paranoid Android Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I spent 5 months in Ghana, it was incredible. If it was a list of places I've been too before and want to return to it would be right at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
