If you could go to live in another country....
« on: March 07, 2009, 04:46:29 AM »
....where would it be and why?

Come on guys, whats your story?

I would love to live in the US. I have had 2 holidays there (with a 3rd on the way) and I love it. The sights, sounds, atmosphere, the quietness (when you want it), the biz (when you want it).

I didn't even have to think twice on this one.  Ireland all the way.  In fact I have been investigating purchasing a home in the west of Ireland where I could spend the winter months once I retire.

Holland would be my first choice because of the excellent social climate.  The west of England near Huddersfield, if England wasn't so bloody expensive.

I guess it sounds cheesy :D  but I really wouldnt want to live in any other country: though I'd rather live in a bigger house in the country with plenty of space around me (if I could afford it!)

I don't think I would like anywhere else but the U.S.  Perhaps somewhere else than Texas. Someplace with four seasons.  All we have is Fall, Summer, Summer and Summer

Minus the economic situation and current administration..The United States of America is still number one in my book. Only other country I have thought would be interesting to live in is Australia.
Our country demands all our strength, all our energies. To resist the powerful combination now forming against us will require every man at his place. If victorious we will have everything to hope for in the future. If defeated, nothing will be left for us to live for.

The southern part of England would be nice, or around Aix en Provence in France.  The problem is food, too plain in England, much too good in France for sustained existance.

I can't imagine living outside of the U.S., but if I had to pick it would be Greece and likely the island of Tinos.

I'm now living in the capital Ankara but I would prefer to live in Istanbul. But if I was asked to go to another country I would of course choose Germany probably Köln.

Can't say I would want to go anywhere. I've always wanted to go live in the Arctic for a couple years though, just not permanently.
