First I left for Singapore, then US. After being miserable in the UK for a year, I am looking for some professional input.

I loved Singapore, but it was just too damn hot to wear a suit. Then I jumped on a chance to live in US, a chance I regret not utilizing fully. So then I got stuck on London.

I hold a Norwegian passport, so I can move freely around EU/EAA. But the way the world in turning, I think I should start looking into getting another passport. Sadly Norway dont allow dual citizienship.

So where do I go from here? I do have a few pointers, such as right hand driving. I can just not get used to the left hand driving. Secondly, I only speak Norwegian, English and enough Cantonese to get me into trouble, but not out of it.

Please, come with suggestions to where the following would take me:

1. Right hand driving.
2.Preferably Euro as currency, but not a must.
3. English widley spoken and accepted, as I am not a language expert. I can learn another language
but it will take some time.
4.Somewhere family oriented as I am about to become a father.

Thanks for any and all input.

The Euro leaves , well, Europe because no bugger else uses it.
The right hand drive removes the UK, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and a lot of others. (Indonesia is still possible because they drive on the left and right here ... and in the middle).
The English requirement leaves about 30% of the Earth's surface open, save the bits where you'd get:
Too hot
Killed
or there's no money around

America seems like your best bet.

First of all, wherever you go, you need to be more adaptable and thankful. Norway always sounds wonderful, but if you can get in to the US, why not buy a gun and go there? Or back to Singapore my son, and take your jacket off. Or try Hong Kong.
