Where would you want to live?

Meiko · May 3rd, 2006, 01:32 PM

What your ideal place/location? In general, do you prefer big cities or the countryside? Being close to the sea or far from it? Hot or cold locations?
Being more specific, is there a place where you'd like to live? Not necessarily all your life. Changing is good too

Japan. Or the Moon. Or perhaps i'd live on the moon and have a holiday home in Japan. For during Sakura season.

I like hot temperatures and I like the sea! Australia is the best! I visited it once and fell in love!

Japan would be good to visit, but living there... I don't know. I'm afraid I woulnd't be able to get used all their habits. Especially living is smaller houses or being in very highly populated cities. I feel that would be hard for me. I like cities, but not when they are too crowded.

Countryside, on an island in a fairly protected bay, somewhere cold, so that the bay freezes over during the winter. A tower on the island.

Yeah, I'm a bit reclusive. And I like winter.

I tend to like bigger cities and I do not like the countryside because I'm currently living in one small dinky town and it literally drives me insane. So Japan would be number one for me...at least I would like to try to live there but like Hylas said, their customs and extreme balance of traditionalism and modernism can get rather hypocritical and annoying. Plus, Japan is contains a lot of male chauvinism, so being a woman over there would be like living in hell.

Second choice for me would be New York...variety, variety, variety.

A little pueblito in the mountains in Colombia. Please take me back...

_RED_ stuff

I really love New York, fell in love with the city some time ago they only problem is that I don't want to live in the US. So that's really not an option. When I'm retired I would like to live in a small village in the south of Italy and eat the great italian food, drink wine and talk about calcio all day with the locals. But I'm still young and got a lot to do so I don't want to leave the city for now. So I'll guess I'll stay put and just try to travel as much as possible(among the wishlist Tokyo, Hong Kong, Sydney(to visit relatives), LA, Florence, Milan, Barcelona, Moscow etc.).

Dude, you're so lucky if you can do that. I would love to travel too, but a) I'm a girl and b) I have no cash, hehe. Not that being a girl would prevent me as much, but there are some disadvantages. And since I would like to go backpacking throughout Europe (like some guys I've heard around campus have done...lucky), it could kinda risky.

Well, it might seem I'm some sort of world traveller but I haven't been to that many places

I would love to, but like you said the cash is the main problem. About the risks of travelling through Europe alone, it can be highly reduced by just being carefull and staying away from certain parts of cities/countries. But the best thing would be to travel with someone else girl/boy doesn't matter, as long as you travel to places where are a lot of other tourists are you'll be ok just watch your wallet when you go to Amsterdam and don't trust anyone who is being too nice and cooperative without him/her being asked something

Yeah, thanks for the tip.

I know I'm not that dumb and I will probably travel with a companion, but there is still some risk...or perhaps I'm just not a risk-taker, haha!

You have no idea how much this phrase puts me in the mind of Friends =) (That little story, when they were talking about backpacking to western europe)

Anyways.....

You and me both. I cannot stand hot weather. But I figured I'd probably want to go to a place like Alaska or something. 2nd option would probably be Aspen Colorado. I don't know why.... I heard that they don't get too hot during summertime..... I hope that's true.

Oh yeah! That's right, I remember that episode.

Piggle_humsy · May 14th, 2006, 09:43 AM

Definitely by the coast or at least near some water... like a river or a huge lake..
I prefer the cold to the hot... can't handle the heat.
The beautiful countryside.. with lots of wildlife.

As for a specific place, I would love to live in Canada.

TtTackler · May 14th, 2006, 11:17 PM

Somewhere in California. If not, in a nice, cozy place somewhere near where I currently live..but at the current rate of development in NJ..that won't be feasible for long I suppose.

Zebraman · May 15th, 2006, 02:21 PM

The Moon.

Daniel Legge · Jun 2nd, 2006, 04:38 PM

Been to New York once, last year, thought it was fantastic and would love to live there at some point.

However in contrast i would also like to live in a hot quiet place, no idea where, on a desert island maybe lol.
