These are two cities I’m thinking of moving to. One is European and one is American but they both have a history of religiosity, good schools, and strong conservative work ethic. In the case of Boston it’s the puritans and in the case of Amsterdam it’s the calvinists. Both are seaside cities with a fringe outward looking culture. Boston is fringe American while Amsterdam is fringe European. Boston is connected to New England which I’m interested in. Amsterdam is connected to the Netherlands which I’m actually not that interested in.

I think I overall prefer Boston because it is more American and more what I’m used to but Amsterdam is still a place I at least want to visit I guess.

or is a Passport Book good enough?

I'm just wondering since I am an American who happens to have a friend in Japan (who I met through my University) who wants me to visit him in his home country someday when I have money and time. The problem is, I'm not sure if Japan only allows visitors who are strictly college students, tourists, and businessmen or if I'm required to have a Visitor VISA along with a Passport Book in order for me to be allowed into the country.

My friend got married to an Indian girl.
I accompanied him to Shimla from where she belongs.
It was really nice. With all those British era houses and buildings combined with the weather and people.
If you could would you all like to visit?

Not a well-known one, such as South West or Ryanair, but an airline which you're not very familiar with?

With big cities I mean cities with skyscrapers, lots of people living nearby, nice nightlife and ease of finding jobs.

I want you to pick only from the given options.

Deregulation brought changes to the airlines. Economy class (where most Americans fly) is now torture. They keep shrinking seats and leg room to fit more seats in. When their practices resulted in deaths from deep vein thrombosis they said passengers should exercise in-flight to avoid it. Maybe 9% fly first class which costs 4-5 times as much. Its simply not an option for 90% of us. The Airlines operate as an oligarchy-if one shrinks space they all follow suit. Flying has become torture. Is it time for a passenger's bill of rights? Are there certain minimum conditions they should meet regarding the comfort of their passengers-all passengers, not just the wealthy?

I'm an American who has unfortunately never traveled outside of my state (Arizona) much (other than visiting Mexico many times). I've only been to California twice as a small child. Right now, I'm trying to decide between these cities to fly to this Summer for vacation.

Just Assume that you will be given an indestructible space suit with unlimited oxygen.

I'd go to Rhea its a moon of Saturn with lots of oxygen and carbon dioxide it would be fun to see if life can survive there.
