If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

[lxskllr]

it rains constantly and is unsufferably overcast much of the time. On nice sunny days the scenery does not get much better, nor the climate, but you have to put up with months and months of rain and drizzle.

Yup, beautiful weather. A day of sun every week or so is perfect. I'm happiest when it's cloudy.

Well I personally like half of that; I do hate the heat of the South, for example. It's just not right being unable to walk outside for months one end without sweating like a whore in church.

To live and die in LA. I just need a little bit more money so I don't have to work anymore. I love living next to the beach!

I'd rather go live in Nunavut.


As for a spot I'd like to live in, without doing tons of research I'd say New Zealand sounds pretty cool. In fact, not so far from home, think Halifax would be pretty cool. I'd totally want to get a water front property and a pontoon boat to go drive around.

Australia would be cool too, but considering every second insect I run across can kill me in 30 seconds if it bites me, I'll pass.

Speaking of which, nobody should live there, nobody! Ditto for most of these climates unless your livelihood is directly related to resource-stripping.

Would be a great place to startup a data center and start leasing dedicated servers. No need for AC, just a big ass heat exchanger. I have a feeling there's not many tier 1 providers in the area though.

But yeah, a little too cold for me. I can do the occasional -50C blizzard, but it would get old fast if it was always that way.

Somewhere in Japan, likely Tokyo, or San Francisco. It's a toss up between the two. If neither of them is an option, then Vienna, then Barcelona very close after that.

San Diego....I believe it means "a whale's vagina" in spanish.

For the beaches, the weather, the laid back lifestyle...trying to get there as hard as I can.

 

[JulesMaximus]

San Diego.

Reason: It's great. Great climate, access to beaches, beautiful mountains, desert, fantastic driving/motorcycling year round.

I'm sure there are countries in Europe I could be equally happy but I happen to live here... and I love it.

Not true. The United States is in all four hemispheres.

What's with the Ireland love? You guys watch too many movies? the climate there is sh*t, it rains constantly and is unsufferably overcast much of the time. On nice sunny days the scenery does not get much better, nor the climate, but you have to put up with months and months of rain and drizzle.

The best climate is probably parts of California like san fran or san diego. I have heard they are quite moderate basically all days of the year. The guy who said where is it 65-70 all year long, I think they are close but warmer than that. I agree that temp sounds fantastic, however.

I don't consider overcast to be insufferable. My ideal location would always be primarily determined by temperature range so long as there are no other destructive or harmful factors in the locality.

New Zealand. I've always wanted to surf and ski in the same day.

Where I live now.

 

[clamum]

Of all the places I've been to, probably in the area I am now.

Switzerland sounds nice though.

Where I live now.

And to answer AreaCode707's question: Anywhere but there.

Italy, without a doubt. I went there this past July and visited my cousin and his wife and son. I experienced what I'd call "the real Italy".

? aren't they part of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIGS_(economics) disaster zone?

vacation italy is quite a bit different from sh*t is about to hit the fan italy, like the greece...people are fleeing.

"Italy is losing its young, talented professionals, driven out by a stagnant domestic economy and an entrenched employment market riddled with patronage and nepotism. As the Prime Minister advocates marrying someone wealthy as a means to get ahead, more and more young Italians are choosing to find work, recognition and respect abroad."

You move to italy if you are rich..or the one that is on the upside of the corruption

""The more I saw, the more I realised that the society from which I came had shut itself off within very limited parameters. If you weren't the son of someone – perhaps a relative – then your boss was going to put someone ahead of you who was," he says."
""The big problem of the economy is a society that combines elements of the Indian caste system with that of the medieval guilds," says Enrico Letta, the PD's deputy leader and go-between in the talks that led to Tuesday's historic deal. "Our watchword is social mobility, particularly for the young, who suffer most if people are co-opted into jobs instead of gaining them by fair competition.""
