SPIN: What countries do you think are better than the USA?

[O.T.I.S.]

I'm in Japan right now, and I'd have to say that they're better.

1. Waaaay better Healthcare system.
2. People are more unified... because the country is homogeneous, but you rarely have to worry about racism because they're equally weary of all foreigners regardless of skin color.
3. Waaaay more safe.
4. IF you work for an American company or the U.S. military, you get to completely bypass the shít work culture.
5. Waaaaay healthier food.
6. Government isn't actively trying to become a dictatorship.
7. Public transportation... that is all that needs to be said.
8. I'd argue that the nightlife might be better, honestly.
9. More modern architecture and society.
10. There's a better chance to standout there. You being able to speak English and Japanese fluently makes you one of the few that can do both. In fact, only 10% of the country can speak both languages.

America is only better in regard to socializing, diversity, security from outside rule, and a few others.

Honestly, I was looking at Japan as well.

Homie made me do a double take with Mongolia, but Japan would be best suited for me by myself. Only issue really is that it’s expensive af compared to other countries (maybe even US too)

I am also interested in Ghana, Colombia/DR/Cuba, Guyana, Canada (might be easiest) and Phillipines/Thailand due to it being cheap.

No where in the UK would I go live just based off the food alone

What country do you think if any is better than the USA? I agree my emphasis was on it being the predominate choice of music as you see in the quote.

Don’t ask a foolish question; American music is only the dominant form of music in America itself. The UK, for example, offers a vibrant music scene that competes with it—consider visiting to see for yourself. Different countries provide various attractions, such as better beaches, a lower cost of living, unique mountains, cities, and restaurants. While no one can compete with American wealth, there are diverse cultural experiences around the world that rival those in America. You can't stay home and assume you’re the best—that’s a narrow-minded perspective.

Yeah you right.

 

[Sleepy Floyd]

Gabon, Seychelles, Uganda, Botswana, Canada, Panama, Costa Rica

I didn't include any Caribbean countries only because of the yearly hurricane and earthquake risk. But many black Caribbean nations would be on the list otherwise.

Y'all listing all these racist countries where black people are not welcome.

Can’t do the food bruv


I actually don’t mind the music or their musicians though. I wouldn’t mind producing for a few cats from there


Edit: Also Belize. Chick I used to fukk with was from there. I asked her this question IRL once and she told me Belize. Speaks English, black folks of all shades, close to home, inexpensive, etc.

I was just talking about the music in the UK. As for food in Europe, Italy and France have some great dishes, and I hear Greece does too, but I’ve never visited. I've been to a bunch of places in the Caribbean and one country in South America, but I’ve never been to Belize. I definitely want to add that to my list for 2026.

I don't know if it's better overall , but I got to spend a month in Spain and really enjoyed it. Especially their architecture.

 

[Shadow King]

Best athletes depend on the sport, U.S is 3rd fiddle in baseball behind D.R and Japan.



U.S is number 1 when it comes to basketball though. U.S could be number 1 in boxing if more elite american athletes took up the sport, you would think seeing the money Floyd Mayweather made would inspire american men to take up the sweet science, but that hasn't happened

This is false. The MLB is The Promised Land.

If you're an established professional with 10+ years experience and a family or intending to start one, New Zealand. If you are a young professional, I'd say Australia.

Why the difference?

 

[Ohene]

Yeah man I knew a few coli brehs would like Japan.

I know US sailors that get station in Japan and they have the time of their lives. Marines too it's stories about them getting Drunk and basically pissing off the locals. Dudes don't know how to act.


You mentioned food I feel that's very important is it a lot to choice from in Japan? I feel like for some reason it's mainly seafood but I could be wrong never been to Japan.

they dont live there though

i dont think yall realize how lucky yall are to be american lol. yall truly dont

 

[TL15]

I don’t know enough about living there but visiting Japan made the US feel like a third world country

 

[IIVI]

Some people love it over there. I have a buddy who moved there 7 years ago and has no plans to leave.

As for me, 2 months was enough.

Very true.

Like I mentioned in the other thread, this really depends on who you ask and what they tend to value. To get even more technical, it even depends when you ask somebody.

I realize it. Let these other cats relocate to Switzerland or whatever the hell they want to go.


I'm sure it's someone else breaking their necks to get here.

I know people who moved to Japan and have not come back it’s been 20yrs. I know someone who moved to Singapore and has been there 6yrs with no intention of returning if he can help it.

Stop speaking to everyone as if they have no clue about where they are from and where they are going. Some folks don’t have the experience to make an informed decision, but some do. The cultural issues one country may have usually don’t affect expats like it does the natives.

So, Japanese women have a very different image abroad as opposed to the reality when you get out here. Their society is heavy into social drinking, and the women (who are normally super reserved outside of social events) will use alcohol as a cover for being wild and horny.

That's another thing that isn't really apparent until you get over here. Japanese society is run on perception. People will live their whole lives trying to not stand out because standing out is usually a bad thing, so they'll try to blend in and conform as much as possible. It's the total opposite of America, where everyone thinks (or privately hopes) that they're special or way above-average.

Japanese people tend to turn the fúck up when they're in clubs, and that's definitely true for the women. If you're decent-looking, fit, AND ABOVE ALL ELSE a cool dude, you'll have joints in the crippler crossface. Like I kind of insinuated, the women here love people that stand out behind closed doors and are confident. That's the biggest thing that I've seen with dudes that bag a lot of women out here. They're either good-looking with confidence, or super confident with great social skills. I've seen dudes bag Japanese women that barely spoke English off a translator app, bro.

And these are kats that probably would be fighting for scraps in the states.

 

[pickles]

You're better than me. I would have their asses in Yokosuka learning Japanese like yesterday.

I see how these GS workers live and I can't wait for that to be me. You deadass have Americans and Japanese making 6-figures in a land where a Japanese man making $40k a year (convert that to yen) can net a family of 3 a decent life.

AND the yen is weak as hell right now. I can go out in town to shop at a grocery market and fill up my fridge for $75-100. This shít is cushy as fúck. I see why níggas don't want to leave once they get here. Japanese women are high-key some hoes, the dollar is strong here, the culture is quiet and peaceful. The only thing I hate is the language barrier.

Why aren't you buying vintage rolexes then?
Are they marked up because they are for tourist? I heard you can get one at good prices.
