Go Sweden, get a Swedish green card and then make up some silly reason why you can't work (for example you don't get along with people, actually any reason will be fine).
Just stay at home and enjoy the monthly check from the government who are using other people's tax money to "help" those "in need".
You will be fine there using english. And no effort needed at all. |

Teach english
Make cold calls for an offshore investment office (British accent preferred)
Work for a consulate
Find a job that doesn't require use of Mandarin (there are a lot) |

Mandatory Swedish lessons for immigrants in Sweden. Long process to get the permanent residency. Swedish welfare not at all what you imagine, high cost of healthcare, all public services have been privatized, high cost of life etc. Life may seem gloomy compared to Asia. Not at all what the poster described, sorry. |

What do you mean "do"? Do for work? Do for fun? Legal or illegal? |

Very easy to get around without speaking the lingo.
Need food - point at your mouth
Need time - point at wrist
Need toilet - point at your knob.
Simple. |

be careful though, when in a barbershop or on tongren lu, those pointing exercises might lead to different results |

also different meanings when you're in the shed
point at your mouth : Put beer here
point at wrist :Barman, if you have time, I need a beer
point at your knob :Barman, when you're done playing with your knob, can you get me another beer ? |

One finger up, palm facing=One beer
Add fingers to increase beer order
One or two fingers up back of hand facing barman= 'You twit! serve me beer' or 'Fcek off! I am not paying for that cats pee' |
