I listened to a show this morning and one of the questions was about the best place to live, or smth along those lines. As someone who has lived in Albania, Oxford, Boston, Miami, and now Tokyo, I have some thoughts to share. The decision about where to live can either make or break your life. If you're an ambitious person, you should choose cities that are equally ambitious. These days, people often move for tax reasons, but when you're young, taxes are the last thing on your mind. You're more focused on chasing a dream or achieving a goal. Paul Graham’s essay on this topic is definitely worth reading: https://paulgraham.com/cities.html

That is great, hope everything goes smoothly for you. Moving in-out sometimes is a pain on cleaning and packing/unpacking, but worth it. Ah, that is a story of my family bought a pizzeria in Miami years ago and I had to help him manage because of language barriers. Miami was not a fun time for me, because I was mostly working and stressed in understanding taxes, business laws and so on. Smth I liked there, was how relaxed people were in work, and really enjoying those Fridays(leaving early from work). Plus on Sunday was like American Football time and everyone watch it, that was fun too.
