South Africa without a doubt. Japan is a dense clusterfrick with disasters that affect essentially the entire country every decade.

Capetown:

Two Oceans, one warm water, one cold;
Lekker surfing, fishing, diving and hundreds of miles of beaches;
Mountains, forests, plains, semi-deserts;
White water rivers and estuarine rivers;
Over 340 winefarms, about half of which have restaurants;
NOT run by the ANC but by the pale opposition party;
Stunning women of all flavors and unbelievable night life;
The best weather I have ever seen - lowest temp in the 40's, highs in the low 100's, always very low humidity. Always cools off at night due to the oceans. Very few homes have AC due to this.

Cape Town.

I've read from serious sources that for Americans or Europeans living in Japan for over a year causes psychological damage. The culture is just too weird.

Not because I'm particularly worried about living in a cracker-dominated area, but simply because I've heard less than pleasant things about Japan in terms of xenophobia. I'm a super-cracker. 6'5, 186 lbs, blonde hair, green eyes, and a Viking beard. I would be like a sideshow.

You don't have to worry about xenophobia as a white guy, since if anything they'd treat you with more respect. If you were black however, I'd never recommend living anywhere in Asia. They truly hate black people over there.

Also, capetown, SA is where all the white people live, so it wouldn't be too much of an ethnic shock.

Where did you get this misinformation ? Pretoria is is the "Whitest" large city in South Africa with nearly 2 million of the entire countries 4 million-5 million whites.("Pretoria is the "Whitest" city on the continent of Africa).

Even by percentages Pretoria (Gautang) has a larger or equal percentage of Whites than Cape Town(Western Cape) at around 15-16%.

Politically the ANC is less popular(so far ) in Cape Town, I admit , but you'll be in for a huge surprise going to Cape Town believing its 'lily White".

Smaller cities like Port Elizabeth are "Whiter" & some surburbs/ small towns may be as close to you'll get to your White fantasy within South Africa.


That being said I would pick South Africa simply because I do not wish to live in a non English Speaking Country . Too fiercely independent to struggle with a foreign language in a foreign country.

I'll take neither

south africa.....
