Do you have to move away from the continent in which you currently live? If not, I'll just move 5 minutes further down the road to be closer to the beach and have a sea-view, thanks.

JSBB · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 1:53am

I have the same sentiment as Harbourboy. I would probably move a bit further away from the city but I would want to stay in Canada. If I wanted to live somewhere else I would probably have moved there by now.

If I had to move outside of Canada I would probably pick somewhere in New Zealand or Australia.

Dark Haired Beauty · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 3:06am

Lets see...Austrailia, New Zeland, or Belize. Too hard to chose.

Sir Belisarius · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 3:26am

New Zealand sounds nice, but I think I'd choose Europe. I don't know why, but living in London, Edinburgh, St. Petersburg, or Spain really appeals to me.

Harbourboy · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 3:40am

If I couldn't choose New Zealand, I would choose Australia. If I couldn't choose Australia (by virtue of it being on the same 'continent') , I would probably choose Europe (England or Italy).

Splunge · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 3:40am

Antarctica. They have to have warmer summers than we're having this year in Manitoba (Canada).

Abomination · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 3:47am

It's good to know our country is such an appealing place to live. It is probably one of the best places in the world to raise kids.

If there was anywhere I wanted to move it would probably be Scotland or Canada since I seem to do well in cold climates - hairy bastard that I am.

DrowLicious · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 3:58am

'Continents' is a pretty broad area..i'd have to narrow it down a little. Probably Syria or the diseased-ridden parts of Africa...I hear good things!

Actually i'd like to move to California and just go crazy. The sun shines year round and it just seems electric.

I live on the East Coast and the hot,humid summers and ****ty cold winters get old after 20+ years!

New Zealand, Japan and parts of Canada look really nice too, but for all it's faults i couldn't leave the United States

Wait a second..I forgot Amsterdam!! Gourmet pot and a legal red light disrict..hmmm sounds very interesting....

Harbourboy · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 4:04am

Abomination - what is this 'New Zelanad' place you live in. Sounds great.

AMaster · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 10:35am

Antarctica--won't have to deal with politics. For a while, anyway

Abomination · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 10:51am

Arabwel · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 10:52am

I'd move to New Zealand, if I could... I am actually sort of making plans for it already... maybe when I get old and stuff....

Abomination · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 10:57am

Wait Sauron! Protitution is legal in New Zealand. You can have all the red light you want without the needles in the streets.

Pac man · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 2:18pm

Somewhere else in europe, preferably Spain because of it's climate and the Spanish way of life. Everything is much more relaxed there. Overhere everyone seems to be in a hurry, and for what ? The clock determines our lifestyle here, and that's less of an issue in Spain.

Dendri · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 2:32pm

I wouldnt leave the old continent if someone paid me for it, but moving to another part might be nice.
Always wanted to live in Greece or Italy. Both are beautiful countries for several reasons and I would be away from my neurotic, nagging people at last.

(Then I would probably get homesick and move back.

)

BigStick · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 3:01pm

I think I'd stay in North America. I've read somewhere that it has the lowest population density of any continent besides Antarctica. That would suit me just fine, having too many people around me makes me crazy.

Wordplay · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 3:52pm

I have already decided that once I graduate and get 20.000€ together, I'll travel all the way through Russia, and Siberia, to Asia -perhaps returning, perhaps not.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been reading some personal articles of "How-to travel with a motorcycle."

Sarevok• · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 7:58pm

Well it would have to be somewhere in Europe because in most other continents they have real nasty diseases, like a few weeks ago I was looking on this vaccination chart and almost everywhere apart from Europe has real nasty things that you must get vaccinated for before you leave the country. I would live anywhere just as long as it is relatively hot, no nasty diseases and no big monster spiders or monster animals. I guess that just leaves Europe.

Jaguar · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 8:24pm

Watch out Scotland. Much as I love my home terf, Scotlland is supposed to be very similar. Plus, I get to wear a skirt.

/me feels the breeze in his nethers

Dave the Magic Turtle · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 8:35pm

I'd move anywhere that has a nice big forest for me to live in, and some really nice mountains to roam among... *sigh* I should have been an adventurer

I chose New Zealand, but maybe scotland!

[edit]
Yay New gem

Harbourboy · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 9:53pm

Sarevok - you don't have to get any vaccinations to come to New Zealand! Unless it's to cure you of something that we don't want YOU to bring to US.

Sarevok• · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 10:50pm

Yes but New Zealand has big spiders, snakes and nasty insects.

Harbourboy · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 11:00pm

Sarevok, New Zealand has NO snakes (they don't even let any in the zoo), only ONE poisonous spider (and it's not fatal), and no more nasty insects than any other country (i.e. everyone has bees and wasps).

One of the best things about New Zealand is the fact that it has virtually no dangerous animals. You must have New Zealand mixed up with somewhere else. Australia is the one who has all the world;s most dangerous spiders, snakes, and jellyfish.

Sarevok• · Wed, 25th Aug '04, 11:01pm

Ah, I see. In that case Europe and New Zealand.
