Happy to see this activism. They will need much more of that to move this issue forward. Just being polite and silent won't ever cut it

One word: GEOGRAPHY

Actually it does. In some cases Eurovision allows nations not in Europe.

You can get a visa with that. What will your pension income be?

Huh? Yes Israel is in Asia. Not Europe. Being in Eurovision doesn't change the geography. But Israel doesn't position itself as a retired expat destination any more than Singapore does.

For working expats. Its not a place for retired expats.

Pay attention!

I think I would hate living in Ibiza. I went there when I was 35 and was regarded as a very old man.

How ignorant. Like beer in the US is a monolith. Ever been to Portland Oregon?

Hearing their language raises my blood pressure. Liking a country or not is often a matter of temperament.

I call B.S.

That's what I always say innit.

Yes!

Yes.

Vietnam does not WANT retired expats. That's why.

Laos is more of a retirement destination for "pioneers" but the Philippines has one of the most robust formal retired expat programs in the world, the SRRV, and has for a long time.

It depends. When I went in I could only pay and come back 10 days later. Not bad but that shows that if you got same day, you were probably lucky.

Philippines should definitely be on the list. Vietnam shouldn't be.

The New York Times branding has taken effect and it looks different now. I like it less but it is the same game.

Exposed yes definitely. Technically infected? Not all the experts agree on that.

I would definitely pick Malaysia IF I qualified.

Sounds alarmist but history shows only fools say it can't happen here.

I don't follow your point. Sorry.

I don't qualify for Malaysia"s long term visa yet I do qualify for Cambodia's. Home country is a last resort. So this is a no brainer.

Breakups are not a rare suicide trigger. This case from that height makes it more notable.
