    Default If you had to move out of your Country

    Just had to, where would you go? That is with the amount of money as a middle-class working person and no relatives anywhere else. Post where you live now and where you'd go.

    I live in Australia, and probably move to New Zealand, Canada, or the UK. With the latter I'd probably go more to the southern point of England. I picked these because they'd be the most "new" to me... And they all speak fluent English + Canada has chicks that speak French.

    I live in Australia now and would probably move to Canda if it were my choice. I know a few interwebs-people in Canada and they all seem like nice enough blokes. I wouldn't mind it there, though it would be a bit cold.

    Hmmm, tough call. The Netherlands could be a very interesting option because of the shared language. Maybe a Scandinavian country but then again why don't I go all out and name some sunny Island where i could open a Bed & Breakfast for the tourists.

    I'd move to the UK so I wouldn't have to learn a new language.

    Top of my list would be Oz, NZ or Canada if I was feeling lazy, anywhere hispanohablante if I was feeling more adventurous... (I'd be leaving the UK, btw...)

    The Netherlands (it's only 40 miles from here after all).

    Or New Zealand, which is doing very well in this inquiry it seems.

    Well I would make it difficult to move. I would move to the only Island province in Canada PEI and try to separate. If that didn't work then I would go anywhere with a moderate climate and learn a new language if required.

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Currently based in Belgium. I'd go Australia, USA or Canada. Actually Holland too.
    If on expatriate salary I'd go anywhere in South East Asia.

    Well, wife speaks Spanish, and we're in the US, so Mexico has to be the first choice. There's good work for tech skills, a reasonable quality of life, and it's not too far from the US if there's anything we need.

    If I were really going to just go and never look back, I'd go to Russia. Land of opportunity where you can go up as fast as your ability takes you, or down even faster if you screw up. I think it would be interesting to try to make a place in a society undergoing so much change and turbulence.

    Of course I don't speak a word of Russian, can't even read any, and even my French and Spanish are laughable, but I'd find a way to get along I suspect.

    The UK, for two reasons: I already know the language and the country's history is interesting. That's all I need.
    It's not easy being a man, you know. I had to get dressed today... And there are other pressures.

    Very true. Everyone says Germans are cold, not me. It's very easy to get along with them, at least from my experience.

    Germans are the most courtious and civilised people in the world, I don't belong there it would drive me mad, but I like them.

    First choice would be the US. Speaking the language and having fond memories of the place would be my main reasons.

    Canada. My girlfriend's from there, I lived there at some points in the past, and I speak excellent (accent-free!) English (if I may say so myself).
