You are moving to a foreign country.

I'll have to go with the others who say Ireland. They've got a great quality of life there and most of the country is beautiful. The history is so in your face there (and many places in Europe from what I see). If my husband-to-be and I like it when we go in a couple weeks, we'll consider going back there again soon for another vacation and maybe eventually to live. You know, just for a change of scenery.

That's awsome. I'd love to have that opportunity.

I think more people should go live in another country for a few years. It would do a lot to break down the self-centered, narrow-mindedness that many Americans seem to have.

I know. We're just starting out, so I figure seeing the world is a good place to start! My parents aren't too happy, but considering I live in a town of about 10,000 people, I wouldn't expect them to understand.

If I could give you one word of advice it would be to take those chances and see the world. It's too bad your parents aren't more encouraging, my Mom was when I was in my teens/early 20s and that's part of the reason I moved across the country to try living in Los Angeles. That was almost 20 years ago and I still live here (from upstate NY originally).

The distance just makes the time you do spend together that much more special. :thumbsup:

Good luck!

Singapore: I lived there as a kid and haven't been back in 12 years.
Australia: Visited there as a kid and liked it. Hoping I can get a job with an American corporation that will relocate me there.
Great Britain/Ireland: I would like to live there for a year or two and see the history of my ancestors.

Europe??: I'm going to France and Germany this summer, so maybe I'll like it there.

Amsterdam.

 

[Finalnight]

Hong Kong, New Zealand, or Malaysia

 

[KMFJD]

Tasmania...

 

[Chaotic42]

Switzerland. Mountains, chocolate, snow bunnies, central location.

Im a big germanophile... but i must say it being in new york wouldnt be much different than new york w/ a different tongue.

nordic countries too sterile and boring.

british isles too boring.

france is too french.


it would be either spain for the late dinner, siesta, and drinking conviviality, or italy for their style, love of food, and love of life.

Probably Australia - my family actually had visa's to move there at one point.

 

[meltdown75]

USA - maybe Colorado or Seattle

 

[mjh]

Japan.

Along with having a citizenship in Japan, I understand the language well enough to not get completely lost and confused in the big cities. I also have half of my family over there, so free rent FTW!

Grand Caymans

No crime
No unemployment
No income taxes
One of the few Caribbean islands with an industry (banking)
Can't beat the weather, except for hurricane season
Former British colony, so few cultural differences

if you knew the caymans, you would know how much they hate foreigners invading their island.
tourists ok, foreign residents, not so much.
in fact, they have a 7 year law where you're not allowed to stay longer than 7 years unless youb ecome a citizen.

I've thought about moving to the UK, as I've visited there about 5 times.
- I have family already living there, so it would be easier for me to adjust.
- FishnChips, Pubs, BBC programming (Torchwood, Dr Who etc), mass transit, football

 

[RossMAN]

Australia because my wife is a citizen and has family there.

Aussie women 😛

 

[imported_Imp]

Probably United States... ya, that doesn't seem right, but it's the truth. Not sure which State, probably one in the east.

Been there, done that. I've been in Mexico (Cancun area) for about 12 years, but I may not end up staying here too much longer - it's getting too crowded here these days. Now to figure where I want to go next.

I would say Colombia's Northern Coast, but the gringos are already attempting to take it over.

Yeah, I've got a good friend from Colombia who lives here now. He's always telling me about his country. When I get more free time in a couple of years, Colombia's one of the places I plan to visit.

scopolamine = scary

Japan, I'd like to go to a culture completely different than the US's. More so East vs. West.
That and Japan has some of the best internet connections and some of the coolest tech stuff! Coupled with a rich and old culture.

Beware of the tentacles!
