Yes, I'm living in China, you know, HongKong is a shopping paradise with free taxes. I'll go there for shopping or hanging out when I'm free.

HongKong is a city of freedom where you can find lots of restaurants, snacks bars or coffee shops that are happy with accepting Bitcoin.

Argentina, because BTC sells for almost 2x what I buy them here for, and I avoid the blackmarket currency traders who hand out counterfeit money, and I avoid the government bullshit exchange rate which is not the real exchange rate.

Hong Kong, when the mainland state authority isn't violently putting down demonstrations is pretty good for bitcoin too there's traders everywhere, prob some stores directly accept them though I haven't bothered I always convert to local currency. Also like last poster said no tax

I'd like to use the Bitcoin in my city. The problem is that there are nearly no ppl who accepts Bitcoin. I don't like to travel, so I hope one day Bitcoin will be popular then I can shop here and don't bother to go the tired, long journey to spend bitcoin.

I can't travel since I got no money. I love to travel but unfortunately I have to save all my bitcoins.

It will be great to have opportunity to spend BTC in any country in the world :)
I will be happy to spend BTC in Asia, S. Korea, India, Japan, such countries...
Hope to see this happens soon.

Silicon Valley here, I don't think we have more "we accept bitcoins" signs in stores than anywhere else but we do get a front seat to all the venture capital (VC) and techy growth in the area.

What can you buy with Bitcoins in Amsterdam? How many coffee shops accept Bitcoins for grass, and where else can you spend them?

Sounds fun and I'd imagine spending bitcoin for shopping there. However, now I do not have enough even for tickets is not enough. Maybe next year

if I was an early investor I would be traveling the world 24/7. Unfortunately like a lot of people here trying to build up a decent portfolio, using BTC for frivolities it's not something we can afford.

If I went abroad and knew I would have to pay for something while I was there I would rather use Bitcoins than cash. It always costs something to use a bureau de change or to withdraw foreign currency from an ATM abroad. I would pay with Bitcoin abroad and buy more Bitcoins to top up my stash.

Bitcoins has fees to exchange from fiat to btc or btc to fiat if you are looking for a digital transaction but you can buy/sell at low fees if you use localbitcoins.

Am I allowed to pick only places where I know bitcoin infrastructure is strong enough so I would be able to  live there and buy everything I need to survive for bitcoins? Or I can pick some places where I would go for sure if people there would start accepting bitcoin? It is not really clear to me...

Well the really cool thing about it is that you can virtually be anywhere and buy anything through the magic of VPN.  Thanks to the internet and virtual currency we can truly be world citizens in a nearly borderless virtual world.  No Passport required!

Hmm.. I do travel to another country once every two or three years. Have not spend Bitcoin in another physical country. Would like to travel and use Bitcoin in the future. To be honest, I never bought product physically using Bitcoin. Most of my spending is on the internet.

Same here even I haven't tried bitcoin yet in shopping or any clubs or restaurants. But hopefully in near future would love to do so at present I am using it only in converting to my local currency when I am in need of money.So we need to go Cashless no need to carry fiat.Bitcoin will take care of everything

I'll probably visit Hongkong with my girl if ever I want to spend bitcoins as bitcoins. From what I've heard, it is a tax-free shopping district and there are lots of good stores in HK alone. :)

I would like to visit my favorite city Amsterdam( Holland ) this summer and spend Bitcoin there. Holland is heaven for Bitcoin lovers as there are largest number on ATM's for Bitcoin/Fiat and one can easily go for Bitcoin there without any problem.

Yes this is really a true benefit of the internet. You can go shopping anywhere in the world anytime you like without any passport or such. But sometimes, it is better to experience the shopping experience physically rather than virtually. If there is a dedicated shopping district solely for bitcoin, I would definitely go there if I have the time.

How about Canada??? I have heard that Canada has started to accept the bitcoins as a mode of payment so would be really excited to visit canada and spend my bitcoins in restaurants or shopping malls night clubs that would be fun it would  be some different and new experience for me.

Yes, definitely HK. As many people before me I also think that Hong Kong has its charm as a place to visit, spend time and your bitcoins. Also, as I heard there are a lot of places which accepts bitcoins directly there.
Second place I would like to visit is Australia, I always wanted to see this continent, so why not spend my bitcoins there? Lastly I would like to see New Zeland, places where they filmed LotR. But I don't know if I would be able to spend bitcoin directly there...
