zoony Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I can't believe some of you are saying Japan. Anywho, I'd probably choose an English-speaking country, just because no matter what I did to learn a new language I think I'd always feel like a bit of a stranger. I've always had a great deal of respect for Canada- though I do think the winters would get old. Maybe Australia- but it's hotter than the surface of the sun. And the flies in Australia will drive anyone to drink. Maybe England- but crappy weather and overwhelming rudeness- don't think I could deal with it. So I guess I'd say Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Put down another one for Canada. Besides, I have relatives there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufumonk Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 No one has said it yet, but as long as money and employment aren't mitigating factors, I'm heading for Ireland. Not Northern Ireland mind you, but beautiful, picturesqe Ireland. Somewhere in the Southeast, Kilkenny or Waterford. Or if I wanted to go back to where my ancestors came from, then Galway. Winner winner chicken dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 If i had to earn a living when i got there, Dubai. If i could just be a rich beach bum, Austrailia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zguy28 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Somewhere in the Mediterranean area, preferably while owning an olive farm. I love olives, especially Kalamata olives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Brown #43 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 No one has said it yet, but as long as money and employment aren't mitigating factors, I'm heading for Ireland. Not Northern Ireland mind you, but beautiful, picturesqe Ireland. Somewhere in the Southeast, Kilkenny or Waterford. Or if I wanted to go back to where my ancestors came from, then Galway. I was just about to say Ireland. My mother was born and raised in Galway, and that's exactly where I'd go without thinking twice. I've got tons of family there. I was just back there this year for a cousin's wedding. Ireland is tied with the US for the title of best place on earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanCollins Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 It's time for another civil war. I'll live in whichever part that doesn't include NY city. Wall street has got to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baculus Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I find it interesting and slightly disappointing how many here can quickly and easily name two, three or more countries outside the US where they'd like to live. Because there are some awesome places outside the US. Just beautiful countries with beautiful land, great people, and new things to see. Take the move, "Lord of the Rings," which was filmed in New Zealand. My sister traveled there, took a tour of various sites where the movie was filmed, and went to some extraordinarily lovely places in that country. It is simply an amazing country. You said you'd want to live in the Middle Ages - where do you think you'd be living if you did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanCollins Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Italy or Barbados. Hard call. Very hard call.... Predicto, you were in love in Barbados, not with Barbados . It's just another skanky little caribbean island, seen one seen the all, and I've seen most of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just another skanky little caribbean island, seen one seen the all, and I've seen most of them. Not true at all....the differences between Cuba..Haiti..Martinique..and Aruba are quite vast. The Caribbean is not just one homogeneous tourist trap. There is a lot of culture and each island is unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt Rich Fla Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Puerto Rico! They have fun, the land is beautiful, the people are cool, good fishing, good surfing, they got the Chupacabraaaaaa.ols and the piss money away like they have buckets of it. Everyone there seems to be loaded and party and buy big toys like they are not making payments on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass_SkinsFan Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 You said you'd want to live in the Middle Ages - where do you think you'd be living if you did? It's a combination of time and place in that case, Baculus. The Europe and Middle East of today are not the same as they were 800 or 1000 years ago. Back then I could have fit in. Nowadays, probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such as it is, this demonstrates that all "foreign" ideas aren't a negative, though, right? Some parts Middle East or Northern Africa is probably the closest you'll find to the Middle Ages, or perhaps NW Pakistan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCSaints_fan Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I find it interesting and slightly disappointing how many here can quickly and easily name two, three or more countries outside the US where they'd like to live. Well if it appeases your nationalist sentiments I picked Canada because it is probably most like the US in language and culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass_SkinsFan Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Probably not. Such as it is, this demonstrates that all "foreign" ideas aren't a negative, though, right? Not really; because in the modern day the ideals, society and culture of that time period have been washed away. Hell, most of Europe doesn't celebrate or even remember most of its history. For the most part they ignore it and focus on today, which is a large part of the reason that I want nothing to do with any of them. Some parts Middle East or Northern Africa is probably the closest you'll find to the Middle Ages, or perhaps NW Pakistan. Closest, yes.... but that's damning with faint praise to say the least.

Oldskool Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 If I could snap my fingers and eliminate the government and their cronies, I'd move to Cuba. Sure you have to deal with a hurricane or two every year, but from the photos I've seen and from accounts of my Canadian friends who've been there, it makes Hawai'i look like South Central LA.

Salty Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Denmark (I too am part Danish) and Barbados. Not true at all....the differences between Cuba..Haiti..Martinique..and Aruba are quite vast. The Caribbean is not just one homogeneous tourist trap. There is a lot of culture and each island is unique. I will second this. I studied abroad (or two) in Barbados and it was amazing. Not your typical touristy island and has almost none of the issues that the western islands have. Plus you get 2 "strong" drinks during your 8 hour work day.
