I really like what Spain is doing recently. If it weren't for climate change, I'd consider moving there.
Canary Islands are part of Spain and probably unaffected from climate change - we have 19-22°C all year round. If it raises to 25° still pretty livable.

I think the immigration is what keeps Spain from turning into another Japan or Germany - a stagnant, overly old place stuck in time.
And in Spain most immigrants are from Latin America with close enough culture and language to avoid most integration problems.

Just came back from Japan and I found it vibrant and modern.
If you went to Japan in the 90’s, 00’s or 10’s, you’ll find the issue is that Japan still feels mostly the same. It’s a wonderful country, but post-Japan’s asset bubble and crash there’s been noticeably less change.

Looks like we’re doing this in the UK soon too. Edit: not sure what the downvotes are. Burnham literally said he’ll do it today.
indeed, and he has apparently already been walking the walk > "Burnham did not grant the US tech company any contracts during his nine years as Greater Manchester mayor, and is minded to take the same approach in Downing Street."

I am talking about the current government corruption cases, I assume Mexico is worse, but Spain isn't great for Europe either
The made up cases are so many that they deflect each other and the few real ones. The real scandal is the state of our judicial power.

As opposed to what? American servers with Isreali backdoors?
How about Spanish servers? I will never understand this helplessness that comes from these European countries. They are choosing to be dependent on foreign powers.
