"in a recent biography of Greeley: "If any young man is about to commence the world, we say to him, publicly and privately, Go to the West" (from the Aug. 25, 1838, issue of the newspaper New Yorker). "Go West, young man" may well have been a paraphrase of this and other advice given by Greeley." from Who Said, "Go West, Young Man" - Quote Detective Debunks Myths | LLRX.com

I wont go too far west. Then i might be without a decent public pension and health care system. Could it be somewhere in Germany?

Well, good health care is moving westward too.

You're pretty close but still not there. This is the more famous building to the left of my photograph.

Isn't it Britannia Ruling the Waves and waving the flag up there. London?

Sorry, Not Brittania.

Second Hint: This seems to have been more difficult than I expected. How can people identify obscure churches seen from odd angles but fail to get the Federal Parliament Building of a central european country?

The fate of Swiss Politicians - nobody knows them, nobody knows, where they pass legislation....

This should be the Bundeshaus in Bern.
