    It’s never been more true, the old saying that freedom ain’t free.

    I’ve become an immigrant in the UK a few years ago when I had the good luck to convince myself all of this would happen sooner or later. Kept my citizenship so far because I wanted to vote against him this time. What’s your story?

      How do you handle banking? So many places no longer allow Americans to have bank accounts because of the reporting requirements, or did that change when I wasn’t looking?

      I moved to Singapore to be with my husband. Singapore doesn’t allow dual citizenship so I had to renounce my US one.

        Not bad! It’s a dictatorship, but aside from that I hear it’s quite a good standard of living. And I hear the food scene is immense.

          A paternalistic, technocratic, party not shying away from authoritarian measures getting re-elected and re-elected does not a dictatorship make. Bavaria does the same but replace technocratic with wiley and corrupt.

          It’s quiet, extremely safe and clean, beautiful, well-connected to the rest of the world, well-developed (infrastructure, education, healthcare, economy, etc). Great food and weather (at least to me, I love hot, humid weather all year round). Personally I love it here.
