We all jokingly said that we would leave the country if Donald Trump were to ever be elected president. Now, it's a reality. The 45th President of the United States is Trump. Although the chances of me actually moving out of the country within the next four years are nearly slim to none, I still would like to weigh my options and decide where I would best fit outside of the United States.
1. Canada
Canada seems to be the ultimate choice of new settlement for most Americans after the results of the election. It's super close and they speak English. Plus, it's Drake and Degrassi's home. Not to mention, some really good bacon. Who wouldn't want to go to Canada?
2. Japan
I am very biased towards Japan since Japanese has become my second language over the years. I would know enough of the language to get by. Plus, Japan is great! Have you seen their vending machines?
Also, this would not be my first time visiting Japan. I went for a high school trip the summer before my senior year and absolutely fell in love. I would definitely go back in a heartbeat no matter who the new president was.
3. South Korea
Being an avid fan of Korean Pop music, I figured I could just marry my "oppa" (a word sometimes used to call someone seen as a love interest) and live happily ever after. Also, Seoul is known for having great Wi-Fi nearly everywhere.
Wi-Fi that spreads like fire.
4. England
I mainly picked this one only because I wouldn't have to worry about a language barrier. Plus, YouTube sensations, Dan and Phil live there.
5. Australia
I'd pick Australia because there wouldn't language barrier there either, but also, Australia has koala bears — and they're ridiculously cute.
6. Thailand
They have elephants. Need I say more?
7. Ireland
I've always wanted to visit an Irish pub that was actually Irish. Also, I'd never run out of luck right?
8. Italy
Lizzie McGuire seemed to have a pretty nice experience in Rome. She met a gorgeous Italian pop star and became an Italian overnight sensation. Not to mention, their spaghetti must be the bomb.com. My mouth is drooling just thinking about.
9. Spain
You're going to hate me for throwing out another Disney reference but remember when the Cheetah Girls went to Spain? Remember the cute Spanish boys? That's all I need to get me through the day.
10. Hong Kong/China
As much as I love Panda Express, some authentic rice and noodles would be nice. It's amazing that I chose most of these places because of their food, but we all need to eat to live right?
There are so many beautiful countries in the world which made it hard to narrow down, but maybe the next four years won't be as terrible as we anticipate. Maybe I'm just being extremely optimistic. Only time will tell.
