Easiest country to adapt to?

Easiest to adapt to for an American? Well, from experience, I know that living in Mexico was very easy for me. I lived in Queretaro, which is a nice large sized colonial town in Central Mexico, 2 hours North of Mexico City. You would probably love Mexico. The weather is great, the people are even better, and there is great nightlife, sense of community, and many other things that we sometimes lack in the USA. Sao Paulo would be fun on the ocean, but be careful, as Brazil has the highest percentage of gun crimes in the world. I'd take Mexico over Brazil any day. So the #1 choice so far is Mexico. Let's compare the next ones on the list.

Shanghai: This would be an amazing opportunity to say the least! Shanghai is the New York of China (not including Hong Kong). It is rapidly becoming a more westernized city, with all the luxuries you are use to here in the USA. But you'll still feel like you are in the Far East, which is great! That's exciting! It's a very large city of nearly 16million people.

Augsburg, Germany is a city in Bavaria of around 264,000 people. I'm sure it would have decent nightlife, and plenty of culture as well. I don't think it would be as fun to live there as some of the other options, but you are in the heart of Europe! On holiday you could easily travel to Western, Eastern, South Europe with no problem. The cost of living would be on par to most European countries, but in a city this size it won't be outrageous like in Moscow, Paris, London, etc.

What makes it easy to adapt? I assume since you ask this that you don't want to drastic of a change, so you need to think of their language(s), religion/culture, etc. With this in mind, I would say you should go w/ either Mexico or Germany as #1, and then China, with Brazil following last. Brazil is a great country, but the others I think have more to offer. Spanish would be easier for you to learn, so you would be able to adapt and become part of the culture more easily. German is in the same family as English, and you could learn it easier than exotic(Chinese, etc) languages, but watch out, the grammar is tough! Portuguese is similar to Spanish, and you could probably learn it easily as well, but Spanish is spoken everywhere else in Latin America and in the USA. Shanghaiese is spoken on the streets of Shanghai, but Mandarin is widely used, so you'd want to learn Mandarin. I can tell you from experience, that Mandarin is not as hard as it is made out to be, though it takes much longer to learn than Spanish. Mandarin grammar is easy, but the vocab is 100% foreign, and learning the tones takes time and patience.

Religion/culture in all three but China would be somewhat similar to what you know in the USA, assuming you're Christian. Most of Latin America is Catholic. It's not pushed on you though...it's more subtle and interesting than in the USA. The churches are amazing to see!

Good luck, and by the way, who do you work for? Sounds like a job I'd like to land.

Shanghai is really a famous international town drawing more and more interest from throughout the world; so see what that town provides with hotelbye . Shanghai is a well known journey destination for visitors. In Shanghai you can see the striking Yu Garden (Yù Yuán), also referred to as the Garden of Happiness. This Garden addresses a place of more than 20,000 square yards and contains an external and an inner garden. The oldest area may be the Outer Garden with more changes being manufactured in the 18th century when Sansui Tang, the park's major corridor, was added. The newer and significantly smaller Inner Garden dates from 1709 and involves features normal of a traditional Chinese writer's Garden: desirable small pavilions, ornamental stones, and small hill ranges, splitting walls and small wetlands, and even a highly designed theatrical stage.

VFPOY!
