France- amazing foods indeed, the villas.

Well one of my grandfather was from Firenze, I was born and live in the South of France... Love my piece of land, open-minded people throughout the ages (two religion wars, the very two times war happened in this piece of France). Nowadays invaded by Northeners... From France and from abroad (lot of people get retired here). They say people are stupid, but most of the time, they speak about them !!! i.e. Stupid one from St-Etienne who complains about a retired Belgian who cannot stand his neighbor from Paris who is the nastiest man his neighbour from Strasbourg ever known... There I stand in the middle !

Well, my nationalism is in my eyes and in my belly. I love the landscapes, the food... French food is what I miss the most when I am abroad... And, of course, I am fond of Italian food. By the way, my grandfather could not stand the view of a pizza... "Dish of misery" as he used to say. He never understood how and why American GIs brought this to the world...

Jiphy-so lucky to be where you are. so beautiful. spent the last two months with friends who were on the end of a years' sabatical teaching 'think in the University (? ) Lyon. flew from Copenhagen down to Lyon. drove down to Aix-en-Provence. up to the Netherlands. over to the England... never seen orange sunsets like those over there. your families standing on the porch noting the foreign influence. how does one people believe that their ways are better. then travel and try and change the local culture. but this thread is just what country to live & why.

Snorri,

Do you like Iceland because it's cold? I don't think I could handle the harsh conditions there.

I prefer moderate temps myself. Maybe I'll go to Fiji soon. That's another place I wouldn't mind living in.

Emma

well, for other personal reasons, I like to be between Prague and Budapest. Not Vienna... and not Bratislava.

London does have a certain attraction as well...I could look for my RUCKSACK!!!

I think Austin might be fun, but I'd be afraid of what lies beyond Austin's city limits...

Right, and no one will ever pay a visit to you over there...

What have I done! I abandoned my family circle, my close best friends, my national food and I came to a foreign land where I can't find nobody to befriend. A circle of close friends means a lot to me. Maybe more than love and prosperity.

Well, hmm. You have a point. Okay, I'd bring my circle of friends with me to Fiji.

I know I could never live in Texas, so I feel for you.

Well, everyone knows Australia is the best country...well, I think so anyway.

But China is a place I'd love to live, although getting to see good bands live would bit a tad hard. In Shanghai I heard a band that mangled JD, U2 and plenty others into an out-of-time jumble of noise.

You know, I've got a brilliant idea - to live on a yacht - wherever it sails and anchored :) This way you can get from Fiji to Greenland to Amsterdam...

gotto try and love the place that you live. certainly. and now enjoy the internet n-o-o-L- wherever we go. double on blastering a set of classics. but then.. nobody but the band can do it like they do.

the front of the house looks like this now. actually that is the car my mum managed to total the week before she passed on, and i had to fight the insurance company tooth and nail on to make them pay up.

anyway you get the idea lots of shrubs now in the front yard.

Cool looking pad you got there ,Ronno .But i wouldn't have expected anything less of your good self of course

and just to add -as (i think ) Al jarvis said ,the trouble with moving abroad is losing your long built up network of friends

well i did go to school and university here, but canberra is the sort of town which many people leave after being educated. as you get older it get harder to make new friends, and many of the old ones have fallen by the wayside.

i'd like to go to alaska,

apart from that i'd move to Derby get a 9-5 job and a season ticket at pride park and jobs a good un, as they say

US- Chicago, Laguna Beach, Small town Florida or Alabama UK- Glasgow, Edinburgh, London

off to yeehaw junction witcha!

Ever been to Perry, FL? Does anyone live in Yeehaw Junction? I just thought that's where the truckers picked up their hookers for the drive south to Clewiston.

The past? (The past is another country, right?). Ideally the UK pre-Thatcher.

Or maybe Canada. I think I'll go there when it gets seasonable.
