If you would be able to move to another country...?

SEATTLE BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....oh hell yah........

Yeah, but why?
+Good snowboard spots!
+Great music scene!
-Rain!?

I'll put it in consideration, tough!

San Diego, for the weather. Or, Italy, because it's the most amazing place ever.

Moscow, Russia. Just do it.

well, i've never been overseas, but i'm going to london in the spring, does that count???....i wanna study classical guitar in italy......and i have this fascination with jrockers, so yah, um JAPAN......i'm done now......

Slovenia. For serious, even. Ljubljana, Slovenia fucking rocks my socks.... *AND* It's not too far from Zagreb, Croatia - another city that rocked.

I'm in Oz just now and it's pretty cool, but there's a ton of other places I wanna to go to. I know it's cliche, but I'd love to vist Oregon, and I wanted to go before I'd even heard of Chuck, honest! (The Goonies may have had a hand though...) New Mexico fascinates me too. The rock formations are pretty amazing - a road trip around that area would be fab.

I loved New York when I went there last year (too expensive to live though), Vancouver was great too (cept for the weather), but I really fancy New Zealand. I spent a few days in Auckland on the way to Sydney from the UK, and the people were great. I'm definately going back. The scenery looks stunning - kinda like home but on a far greater scale.

I guess you could say I've got the travel bug.

Germany's beautiful. The people are great. There's the alps for snowboarding. The trains...you're never too far from somewhere else. festivals. I loved it. Then theres Austria. but you know, I'd like to learn a little more about the way the government works and laws and other important things like that.

Australia.

Not entirely sure what part, though Bondi Beach seems lovely and i've heard nice things both about Perth and Sydney.

For instance... after moving to Sydney, I'll likely not sing any more ABBA songs. Not even "Dancing Queen"...

Barcelona.

Japan.

as for me, I should move back to France, but America's cheap fast internet keeps me here.

I want to go somewhere in Italy, Greece, India or Egypt. Something with ancient culture like that just amazes me. Why does America have no culture? Or at least a good one, ours seems so superficial. I feel left out.

Gomorrah? Sounds like an STD.

As soon as possible I want to move to Ireland. Ive never been there but the films and pictures have convinced me to travel blind.Reasons: constant cool weather(i hate sunny weather), cool accents, beautiful countryside and land, and part of my hertiage is there.

Ahhh!!! Yes, I so wanted to move to Canada after I saw that movie. Soooo good. I still do. It seems very nice.

The Netherlands.
It's a great European country, and everyone speaks English.

Or Finland wouldnt be bad. Santa Clause lives there. And no joke(im serious) Santa's real. He bathes naked at his cave filled with reindeer pelts. I read it in a book.

Finland, Finland, Finland, it's the country where I want to be...

Canada because I can be a Lumber Tycoon and then down some Molson Blue with Bob & Doug McKeenzie.

Living in a place where humans have had recorded history for a long time does not make you cultured.

EDIT: America does have a culture, it's just that all these white English and black Africans came and kinda put it on hold.

Culture tends to be invisible to natives. And on an unrelated note, I'd like to visit....everywhere. Though Galway is a priority at the moment. More ambitiously, I'd love to see New Zealand, which is apparently quite Ireland-like in its intricacies. And of course I'd like to go to America, buy a stupidly large car and go on a stupidly stupid road trip. Trail of destruction stylee.

I highly recomment San Diego, 'cuz I live here. Hehe. I would also like to go to Italy, mostly in part because of the food, the culture [there's culture everywhere], and the girls. They're always naked overthere.

Being a hispanic [probably the only one here] and an Italian, no one has mentioned Mexico. Mexico City, Guadalarjara, Tecate, Tijuana, and others are a reason to go there. TJ maybe, not for the scenery but a place to have fun. The beaches are awesome.

Personally, I'm all about Scotland. Hand me a plaid skirt and an annoying "instrument" any day of the week and I'm a happy lad. Plus they have a sweet accent. And then there's the land. And the literary history. And the history in general. And all sorts of other cool stuff. Yeah. Scotland.

If you know how to play the pipes I believe Penn State will give you a hefty scholarship. If I had any musical inclination I would love to play the pipes.

Galway! That is where my great grandfather emmigrated(or is immigrated?) from. I watched a documentary on it awhile back. Very interesting because the Irish fisherman from around that area basically invented the sweater.

Damn. I actually do play the pipes (well, kind of. I can play the practice chanter, but have never actually tried the bagpipes.) Why exactly would Penn State be so keen on giving me money?

IMHO, no matter where you go to you're still the same person, which is often disappointing. a change in location doesn't necessarily mean a change in your personality.

I doubt there are many bag pipers out there. Especially young 18 yr. olds. They probably need them for their marching band or something.

Another odd scholarship is Standford supposedly will give you a free ride or close to if you can fence. My friend had to take fencing lessons for two years. Finally his mom stopped making him since he hated it.

New Zealand

MG - nope, you're not the only hispanic 'round these parts. I am on my mom's side, but don't really look it or identify with it so I don't say too much about it.

twosmokingbarre makes me bummed out i didn't work harder on my fencing. it's fairly boring to watch, but great fun when you've got a good opponent

go to Estonia/Finland/Iceland or Brasil.

Iceland, mmmh!? I'll be an unemployed engineer when I finish next year, do you think they need people to clean the toilets in studio's over there???

:hat

If Alexander wants to leave Amsterdam because its a modern "gomorrha" he will rarely go to moscow...
*lol*

I´d like to go to Canada. I saw "Bowling for Columbine" and yesterday I talked to a fellow who has some friends in Canada. It is a great country, really georgeous...
[/B][/QUOTE]

First of all gomorrha means sinfullness of the people. Which could be the way Alexander meant it, but Moscow, Russia is a practicly crime-free city. And never, ever talk shit about Russia. Asshole. (if I miss interpreted anything you said, just tell me. And if I feel I should, I will appolagize, untill then your an asshole.) And what does "Bowling for Columbine" have to do with Canada (I love it there)? And no one should listen to that Moore (he directed the film) because he (he even said so) made up most of the information in the movie. He said that he was an entertainer, and that was what he was doing: entertaining with lies that intriuged people.

"As soon as possible I want to move to Ireland. Ive never been there but the films and pictures have convinced me to travel blind.Reasons: constant cool weather(i hate sunny weather), cool accents, beautiful countryside and land, and part of my hertiage is there."

Yeah, absolutely Ireland. I love everything Irish. The 'look' of the people, the accent, the landscape, the cool & dreary weather. And yeah, I'm part Irish, too, but I'm part lots of things. Heh.

Wasn't the conclusion of 'Bowling for Columbine' that fear leads to violence, media shows violence only creating fear...black people are portrayed as scapegoat and thus the media are the 'liars' twisting around the footage to change the society's way of looking at eachother...resulting in the problem that the number of deaths by bullits is so high in the states.

..I guess he (Moore) is doing the same thing with his film...wich I couldn't say I enjoyed, let's say it still makes me think.

ps. this is all just theory...don't call me asshole, please! hehehe

I didn't call you an asshole. I was talking to Wolfsbane. And this is your thread, I won't make fun of you in your own thread.

I'm nearly where I want to live... nearly. I'm in waterford, I want to be in Dublin. Such a cool city. I love that place.

Hey XChuck, I love to qoute you...this shit is funny as Hell!!!

I'd move to Japan in a heartbeat. Especially if I knew Japanese.

I would move back to England. I love England. Cant wait to visit this summer. I miss seeing the football matches.

Dublin? Nah. Galway sounds much better. I used to like Dublin but I think that's just because I only visited it every now and then.

Not to be unnecessarily belligerent, but anyone who mentions Ireland and says they love 'the accent' doesn't know what they're talking about. There's a ridiculous number of different accents running loose around the country. Bloody Kerryfolk...confuse me, will they? We do, however, eat a stupid amount of potatoes. Yes indeed.

I never new that about Ireland, other than the gypsies , but I knew England had many. You always have people saying there doing a British accent when they're really just doing a cockney one.

About the only accent that doens't exist here is the Oirish one you get in films. Never, NEVER have I heard anyone who wasn't American saying "Faith and begorrah".

Oops! Sorry, I thought you were american.

Nobody's said this yet, but I totally want to go to Okinawa and Belize. Okinawa because I used to study a martial art with a long history there (Shorin Ryu) and would love to learn from some of the old folks there. Also, the World War II history would be fascinating. Belize because it seems to be a relatively out-of-the-way, untouched sort of place and sounds absolutely beautiful. I could be one of the early waves of tourists there, seeing before all of us Western tourists fuck it up. :-P

I've been to Belize it really is pretty nice, at least the parts of it I saw. Definitely a good place to get 'away from things'... I also went to Ecuador, and my memories of the two places overlap a lot, so I forget which is which, sometimes, heh... I went to both when I was fairly young. They're both gorgeous countries, though.

I guess, I should just do a world trip and visit every one of you all!

There's just so many places I like to go, first another Dutch summer, I hope it's a long and hot one!
