besides from where you are living now, which country or
city would you most like to live in, and why?

I'd like to live in London cuz the people are great, the
atmosphere is great, the buildings, the history, the shops,
the clubs [so who cares if the food tastes like shit].

I would give my life 2 live back in Minneapolis, where we used 2 live before we returned back to the UK!!

Minneapolis had EVERYTHING for me!!!

The UK Sucks!!!

I want to live in my own place, in a better part of my city
where I am around my own kind so I can feel comfortable.

Amen

Hmmm...there are so many places! I'd have to say Detroit. It'd be great to be back with my bro!

I like BIG cities, or shores.

Some place green, moderate, and beautiful -- with not too many people, but enough that I can interact with some and hide among most. Also, an ocean shore would be nice, but not necessary. Where I'm at now is nothing like that, but I have a purpose here for now. The day will come.

Wherever the movie "A River Runs Through It" was filmed...

The scenes when Brad Pitt was Fly Fishing, were absolutely beautiful... I'd like 2 b in a country setting like that (with a helicopter pad in the distance, Lord knows I needs my city life 2!)

Oh well, maybe when I win the Lotto!

Paisley park, o'course!

failing that...sydney. It may just be the image, but it seems to have offer the green, moderate and beautiful thang with big city stuff. and the chance of being bitten by a hideously poisonous snake would spice ur life up too.

One of the following in no perticular order...

Amsterdam
London
Berlin
Paris
New York City
Seattle

Sandiego
Hawaii
mexico city
argentina
chile
London
Spain(barcelona)
France
Italy

Sydney, Australia is an excellent place to live.

Good thing I already live here.

I'd definetely choose London, despite the fact that the food and the weather suck. I love the atmosphere, all the markets and that you can look like whatever you want and noone will stare at you as there are so many people there that look "different". The only problem is that it is an extremely expensive city.
I'd also like to live in Brussels, not many people seem to like it, but IMO it's a beatiful town with a lot of atmosphere (especially in summer)

Oh wait, it has to be somewhere you don't already live... stupid me...

...well, I recently visited the gold coast, also in australia but a lot further north...and i must say i really liked it there a lot and would consider moving there maybe someday.

parts of oregon, US, where my girlfriend currently lives are beautiful, too...quite visually different to AUS, but very lush and green which i also like...just a bit too much rain for me though.

cornwall england is nice also in the lush department and for the history, but i'd rather live there when i'm old than young.

verdict for me: australia is probably the best country in which to live.

England...(because it's my second home, basically, already)...

France...(it is a romantic place, in my experience...I especially enjoyed it during this one time I got lost for a few hours while in the city when I couldn't remember the name of my hotel to be able to get back to it so, I just strolled around for a while and I remember feeling really good and smiling alot...then later my friends came looking for me and found me, thankfully, so I was fine---they had an idea of where to look, and everything turned out okay in the end...but, while I was lost France seemed like the greatest place on earth.. )...

Canada...(it's so beautiful there...and clean!!)...

Canada IS nice, too. And the people are similar to folk here in Aus.

Iceland is a wicked place to go and live:

1. only white people live there
2. they have those natural sauna things
3. the entire island is an actice volcano
4. its relatively peaceful
5. super high taxes (wait that sux!!!)

Yet you refused my spare bedroom.

LoL

Puerto Rico cuz the men there r fine

Either Baltimore MD or London England are the only places I could ever live in permanently besides NY

april u know u wanna be in Adelaide...
more specifically...in my bed


nah Sydney is beautiful...i would live there instead of boring adelaide.

I'm with your APril.

Baltimore, MD is an excellent place. Not too county, not too city. In reasonable driving distance to NY, Philly.

I loved it there.

However, if I could afford it I'd love to live in NY. Not one of the boroughs, the actual island of Manhattan.

I know that's a pipe dream. I can hardly afford to live in New Jersey.

I'd consider Boston (my birth city) or New York City (specifically, Manhattan). But the cost of living in both of these cities can be sky-high, and having a car in either one can be impractical. While I have no problem using the subway for day-to-day transportation, my Miata is very special to me, and I'd hate to give it up.

I've enjoyed my visits to Chicago and Minneapolis, so I'd consider them as well. I've actually considered making a move to Chicago on multiple occasions in the past--I almost went to law school there. And from what little I've seen of Atlanta, it also seems like a possible candidate.

As for outside the US--Paris would be an obvious choice, since I've been there and loved it. (Too bad my French is extremely rusty.) And I like Canada as a country, although I'm not sure where in Canada I'd want to live.

All of the above is hypothetical, though. I am where I am (Indianapolis) by choice, and on balance, I think it offers a great combination: 1) urban amenities; 2) low cost of living; 3) automobile-friendly (we keep three cars at our downtown apartment complex); 4) good safety and cleanliness by urban standards; and 5) the general feeling of living in an up-and-coming city.

Also, my work (attorney) requires a professional license issued by the state. If I were to move to another state, there's the possibility that I'd have to take their bar exam to get licensed there. (One bar exam was enough, thanks.) And moving to another country would probably force me to do some law studies in that country (or find a new line of work altogether).

Update: I forgot to mention... I've never traveled anywhere west of Chanhassen, Minnesota. I'm sure there are some nice places to live out west, perhaps on the West Coast, but I haven't been able to get out there yet.

Aww. Thanks Ian. I would love that too. It's really hard having you so far away. And Detroit just keeps getting better and better with time, don't it?

U guys have the coolest sibling relationship outside of mine and my brother's! It's cool that u both hook up here, what better way 2 keep in touch when living situations dictate otherwise.

If my brother were more computer literate, or even knew how 2 turn it on, I'm sure we'd b posting back & forth 2...

Keep it up
