If you are not sure where to go consider Moscow, Russia. You will like concert halls for sure, if that's your concern. Or, if your main concern is your stomach, there are so many diverse restaurants. And think about this: 13% income tax! Anyway, you will be superior middle class there. There is very little crime, it's directed towards foreigners, but not your type of foreigners. Life is expensive for foreign tourists, but when you adapt here, the cost of living will be much lower than US-wide or Europe-wide. Academically Russia sucks but there are a few places where you will feel comfy, will have travel money and a possibility of bringing coauthors. You will be overrespected and cherished if you are (even moderately) promising as a researcher. You will get quite a satisfaction by participating in creating values that didn't exist before -- that's not your dull "just having a job". Questions?
