About telecommuting, if I could earn my American income and choose to live anywhere in the world, I definitely wouldn’t live in San Diego.

I’d have a beach house on Phi Phi Island,
Thailand as my base, then I’d rent for 3 to 6 months in different areas of the world — Paris, London, Hong Kong, Sydney, Buenos Aires, Rio, etc…

As a matter of fact, Phuket, Thailand has plans to ring the island with fiber optic cables just to attract the tech telecommuters.
