Well, I don't live in my native Mexico, however, if I couldn't live there, and didn't have to live here, I would live in...probably Italy. Or Spain.

Probably Russia, don't know why but it's a country that has always appealed to me.

Japan!!

I'd move to Osaka most likely, home of my favorite amp, Onkyo.

Sweden!! !

Because there, Leviticus 18:22 is considered hate speech. And laws like that signify a progressive culture, and in a place like that, one has a significantly higher shot at getting laid. :D :D :D

Somewhere in the UK. It has always appealed to me. If I could afford it, I would gladly move there.

At the moment, I'm quite intrigued by Canada. It has all the good points of the US without the insanity :lol: .

Having said that, I enjoy reading about the different US states on Wikipedia. Funnily enough, Alaska (the biggest state in terms of land mass) also has one of the smallest populations while a small state like Maryland has a median income of $68,000 per household.

Also, the UK has three times the population of Australia despite being only a fraction of its size. Figure that 8O .

Oh yes, there's a very good reason for that. You have no idea how often I've had to explain this.

Australia is comprised of a thin ring of inhabitable coastal land surrounding a vast interior of... nothing. Life needs water and most of Australia just doesn't have any. Yes, there is a farm here larger than the UK, owned by a single family, becuase that area is so arid that a single family's cattle farm is all it will support. Pre-colonisation, I think the population was less than 100,000.

Moving to New Zealand has frequently looked tempting. Less heat, less people, less pollution, prettier scenery, and active chapters of my special interest group for a pre-prepared social life. What's not to like?

France! Totally. Apparently the whole country goes on vacation at the same time for like a month. Awesome.
I have other reasons too, of course.. >__>

Probably somewhere in South America. I think it would be great to live with a reasonable distance from the rainforests, yet far enough away to not have to worry about the bugs and diseases that they contain. Also, I might end up being a cocaine 'kingpin' which wouldn't be too bad either. :lol:


:king:

Thank you, bdhkhsfgk, for making Norway uninhabitable! :hail: Now I can finally leave this outpost and go to civilisation!

I'd go to England, a country I've had an interest in since the age of 6, where I can have myself a zillion turtles, where games, DVDs and books are released ages before they are here - if they are released here.

I'd like to bring American prices along on the move. Books and other entertainment as well as food are sooo cheap over there.

I definitely wouldn't go anywhere terribly hot.

All scandinavian countries are in a quality of their own, with no competition from others, but if i couldn't live in a scandinavian country, it would probably be Germany or Austria.
