If you had to live in another country...

1300 Class · 10-27-2005, 04:28 PM

Ok, for whatever reason you are forced out of your country and can never come back. But, your former nation will set you up in any other country you like. What would be your top 3 choices?

Mine...

1. UK.
2. Ireland
3. New Zealand.

loves2laugh · 10-27-2005, 04:36 PM

1-canada
2-romania
3-italy

Jay West Coast · 10-27-2005, 04:54 PM

1- Venezuela
2- the Netherlands
3- Chile

...I think...those last two are variable with a lot of other places, I'm sure...

Theatrmuse/Kara · 10-27-2005, 04:59 PM

1. Ireland
2. Canada
3. Scotland

Interesting question! Kara

Totmacher · 10-27-2005, 05:22 PM

By, "set you up" you mean, financial security, right? My first choice is kinda expensive.
1. Japan
2. Germany
3. Jamaica

You're still allowed to visit other countries, right? Just not the one you came from.

Jes · 10-27-2005, 05:52 PM

I'm going to break the rules and say
The Netherlands
The Netherlands
The Netherlands

but I guess
The Netherlands
England
Maybe Canada b/c it'd be fairly familiar?

Michelle · 10-27-2005, 06:02 PM

1) Switzerland (most beautiful place I've ever been, place where my first experience with an FA happened, and I have a lifelong friend in an adjacent country)

2) Canada (it's right across the river/lake from home, family and friends)

3) Some place exotic like Tahiti, Bali or Madagascar

Took me a long time to figure it out.

fatgirl33 · 10-27-2005, 06:04 PM

I travel a lot for work, so I've seen some mighty nice places, but I always like coming home to Canada and wouldn't want to roost anywhere else...

Although Hawaii would be nice from January-April! Or Australia!

Zoom · 10-27-2005, 06:07 PM

1. Fatland
2. Oz
3. Narnia

TallFatSue · 10-27-2005, 06:13 PM

Decisions, decisions. Well, if I had to live somewhere besides the good old USA...

1. Australia (beautiful country, friendly people, delicious food and wine, and those wallabies are soooo cute)
2. Chile (beautiful country, friendly people, delicious food and wine, and those penguins are soooo cute)
3. France or Germany (it's a tie: great countries and culture, and I can order dinner in both languages)

Kimberleigh · 10-27-2005, 06:26 PM

1. Scotland
2. Germany
3. New Zealand

I've visited Scotland extensively, I would look for an old manor house in the Clyde Valley and raise sheep.
Germany - I loved living there, and would do so again in a heartbeat.
New Zealand - wherever it was they built BagEnd - that's where I want a house!

dreamer72fem · 10-27-2005, 06:46 PM

Well I would have to say....
1. Germany
2. UK
3. Ireland

ConnieLynn · 10-27-2005, 06:54 PM

Italy
Canada

SocialbFly · 10-28-2005, 01:52 AM

jamie · 10-28-2005, 03:05 AM

1. India
2. Ireland
3. Canada, specifically Nova Scotia

Honorable Mention: Morroco - This is definitely on the list in an ideal world. But it is not so safe there right now..so I will stick to the simple places.

LillyBBBW · 10-28-2005, 03:11 AM

1. Germany
2. UK
3. Italy

BBW Betty · 10-28-2005, 04:35 AM

1. Canada--most familiar, probably, and I have relatives in British Columbia
2. Australia--similar language, lots of open spaces/rural areas for this farm girl
3. Germany maybe--find distant cousins?

Gala Hammond · 10-28-2005, 04:43 AM

1. Canada
2. Australia
3. Spain (Mallorca)

EtobicokeFA · 10-28-2005, 06:36 AM

Yah, I see Canada showed up in a couple of lists!

Well, since Canada is where I live now, I guess my list would be.

1) US (Because It's so familar)
2) Australia
3) UK (You know we British TV, almost as much as we get Canadian TV here.)

Zoe · 10-28-2005, 07:21 AM

First I thought this as a mission impossible, there are too many interesting countries in the world...

But this is what I came up with:

1. France (Provence)
2. Switzerland
3. New Zealand

Why these countries? For many reasons... Mainly because I like the Provence region, stayed there for 2 months a couple of years ago, Switzerland has the Alps (I know, so does France, Austria etc.) and I love to ski and snowboard, and New Zealand has always fascinated me. Plus I speak the languages needed in those countries.
