I would recommend you to go to Montreal, Quebec, Canada... you would love it for sure, as for privacy, services and so on... you will have everything you wish for!!! Privacy is one of the top sensitive subject here, even inter-governmental institution doesn't share personal information on citizen... If there's camera on some street, they aren't allowed to record anything... Here you have nature minutes away, beautiful women on every corner and lots of entertainment... Most of all, you won't find a city offering that much for that cheap!
With respect to everything everybody is saying, I'm Canadian, more of a Quebecers, but anyway. Even If sometimes you may have more specialized healthcare available to whom's willing to pay. I assure you, being 30 and have been sick like hell lately, I'm happy I didn't had to pay a Pennie for the millions bucks worth of care I received over the last 2 years. Yes some people may complaint, but most of those who complain are those who because of just a sneeze wants a doctor checking their temperature every minutes because it's free... And if you are worried about those who don't work and aren't willing to pay for them, stop worrying, it's nothing compare to the satisfaction of having nothing to care about if you are ill or not... Even better, BTW, if you score a good job, you will have insurance that will pay for private clinics so you can get your results faster, in 2 days instead of 5, or in 24hrs instead of a day. But the results will be less exhaustive than the free one!!! WOW! And your benefit, I should tell you that there's a bunch of researchers in Canada, that would disagree with you! We design a lot of pills and do a lot of research, and historically I think we have a lot of innovation on our hands, sure it's all American companies, but, It's all Canadian brain into it, yep!
Aye le taupin, The so superior beings that are people leaving in the United States, that call themselves Americans (yeah, they were the last to arrive here, but they were so hot, that they took the denomination for themselves), are not Canadians, and therefore are not granted the same privilege in Netherlands, nor most of the world's countries... Their egos (and may be yours) are too much of a pain in the ass !!!
A Month ago I was reading an article in a newspaper talking about a research from Harvard University stating that waking-up late in the morning favorise learning of new elements and that taking a nap after six hours of study boosts the amount of knowledge you can acquire... This study can easily been applied to the context of producing work. It was pinpointing the fact that the brain activity is better functioning when the sleep cycle is completely ended, instead of breaking it - waking-up early. And that this brain activity progressively slow down after 6 hours of strait work. Taking a nap was helping people to return to a normal state and continue to stimulate brain activity. I know my english isn't good today... I've been working 24 hours in the past 2 days... Really, in my own opinion... working more than 10 hours a day slow my performance... going over that limit more than 2 days in a row and your work output will be less in a week (I mean good work output) than if you have made a regular 10 hours a day 5 days a week. And Btw, working on weekends destroy people moral.... ! Here are some references : "Power Nap" Prevents Burnout; Morning Sleep Perfects a Skill, Snooze Power: Midday nap may awaken learning potential... anyway I have to sleep... good reading !!! peace... and continue to tell you boss that more resources make better software and that later or sooner he will face problems in the code that will cost him much more than spending a little bit more earlier !!!
