    If I had a choice?

    it'd be the US...people are so friendly when you have a well-pronounced British accent...when I was in Salt Lake I got a free coke just cos "we're allies"..

    free food aside, I love the US!
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    5. San Cristóbal de La Habana (though it's too hot there)

    However I'm a happy man, since I'm lucky to be Russian (but a little bit tired to be Muscovite) so right now me seriously thinx of moving from the Muscovy Maelstrom to Vladivostok or Sankt-Petersburg

    That doesn't seem like much of a contest; I'd pick St. Petersburg, hands down!

    Why would you want to move a zillion miles over to the Pacific coast, anyway? Isn't Vladivostok mostly just a Navy town?

    If I was forced to leave the US I think I could only fill the emptiness by going to Africa and joining the Rhodesian Army.

    Don't get me wrong, I would love to travel the world someday and see all those other amazing countries...

    But only to visit.

    Back in my day, it would go above -30 fahrenheit once a year, _if_ we were lucky! And even then you're not taking into account windchill!

    Russia is #3 on the top suicide rate list. That tells.

    UK. I love the place and want to retire there. Plus, I'm already a British citizen, so it makes the entire process extremely simple.

    Germany and France are also on my list, but slightly further down.

    That is why I live in a village (well 100.000 people, officially a town but it is not), highly recommend it

    I would probably move to US or Canada. Thats countries where i don't need to learn a new language and would just like to live normally with a family. If your talking lottery win and a custom villa anywhere in the world, then maybe Red sea or Carribbean. I don't mind big cities, but i do live in the murder capital of Europe. (Glasgow)

    Even if Japan's suicide rate is low, I just don't think I could handle a public Seppuku.

    Belgium is a very likely candidate, shared language and all. Germany and England come next.
    Australia, Canada and parts of the USA are all good picks: no language problem, not sure if I can stand the Australian sun for consecutive months, though.
    If language wasn't a problem at all, I might have gone for a mediterranean country. Italy would be the foremost choice of those.

    I can't really put them in order, but there are quite a few places I'd like to live in.

    Germany - It just feels.. right.
    Canada - Its Canada.
    India - The women.
    Gibraltar - What's this? A pub.. with monkeys!? I'm there, sir!
    Anywhere in Scandinavia - Why not?

    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    Definitely Gibraltar.

    Maybe France.
    Maybe Germany.

    Japan, my second home.

    The Netherlands: great music/arts community.

    Perth, Aus: familiar climate to my hometown. They speak a language related to English.

    Perth isn't that great, now that I think about it, it's rather small. (Despite me living here/there). =D
    It's amazing after living in a moderate sized city your life, and then going to one of the most densely populated cities in the world, just how massive it seems. Probably goes the same for rural folk moving to the city. This happened to me when I went to visit Jakarta, Indonesia. They had a rollercoaster in a shopping centre. A rollercoaster! With loops and all sorts!
