Which countries have you already ruled out?
Australia seems to meet all your criteria bar housing, which isn't cheap I think.
There's also Spain. Pretty much meets all your criteria too. Depending on your taste in music.
Paris has it all but it's bloody expensive as I'm sure you know.
Blah blah.
Spain, my ex is from Madrid and besides, it's too damn hot and apart from flamenco, their music sucks.
USA, Bush, Christian zealots and celebrity politicians.
France, too much like England
Australia, too hot, too good at cricket
New Zealand, too close to my extended family, too far away from reality
That's it for the moment

Okay, I've had it up ot here with this country. London is rubbish, there's rubbish everywhere, the transport system is rubbish, my job is rubbish, the music scene is rubbish and the people are rubbish. TO cut a rubbish story short, I'm moving.
So it's up to you lot where I'm going to settle. There are certain pre-requisites to this as follows:
...[text shortened]... ld be good job prospects for her too, though not essential
So, that's about it, over to you.
-not much crime
-on the property next to my house is SAS, a major software company, and we also have SAP in the city.
-Live music is great if you know where to go (that's where I come in 😉)
-Well... ok, housing prices are bad, I think it's the 9th highest German city concerning that aspect. But if you're satisfied with the suburbs-about 25 minutes with the tram (yeah, the tram goes there... goes like every 5 minutes during the day)-it's ok.
-nearly everybody knows English... it's such a tourist magnet and we have an american military village around the corner (... great for bowling 😀)
-Does she teach biology or Geography? Our school is desperately in search of English-speaking teachers for those subjects 😉 And English of course 😛
lalala, Liam's moving here *hops off singing*

Have you considered Canada? Specifically Montreal. Excellent music scene. Low rental prices as well. Occupational opportunities for English speaking persons. Lots of culture. It's clean. The transportation is great... I could go on...

I propose a hovel in Turkey. It won't cost much, and music always plays in the street in which you live. You can get a nice job as an opium farmer, and your wife can teach the locals for 2 rupees per session.
i would suggest Uagadagu the capital of Burkina-Faso...
- no crime (poeple usually have no willing of killing each other , 'cuz the biggest killer is hunger)
- you can get and a nice house for 5$ a months (or a year if you search good)
- high rate of ICT development, you will find a job right away...
- no AIDS, just couple of million people in the WHOOOOLE country!

Good music scene. housing is not cheap, but yo can save 500 quid a month easy and buy a nice house in Zimbabwe or Kazakstan after you retire. Also, no pollution compared to China and Russia-i Lived in Russia for 5 years..heaps of pollution.
