    I'd go live with CA or Gore. Maybe Husar.

    I live in Maine, so a warm climate all the time would be nice. However, being in the cold for a good part of the year so it is a tough choice. I would love to live in the Oz or Nz plus they speak english, so i wouldn't have to learn a new langauge. If I were going to live in another state, i most likely be Colorado because of the abilty to ski 9 months out of the year.

    1) Japan- I'm rather interested in the country, and though I'd have to learn a new language, I've got a feeling it'd be well worth it. Plus, I've heard they're some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet.

    2) New Zealand- Just going off of 2nd hand sources that its very nice, and the benefit of not having to learn another language.

    3) Canada- Same language, close by, nothing too special, but wouldn't be bad by any means.

    4) Switzerland- The con of having to learn another language, but I had an absolute riot when I went there for a few days, beautiful landscape, a stable economy, and the people were pretty nice.

    5) Germany- Pretty similar to Switzerland, just didn't catch me as quite as enjoyable, though.

    The history of Germany is among some of the most interesting and influential in Europe.

    That and we don't "talk funny".

    Dude, you live in Virginia. How cold can it get, really? Talk to some canucks, or Minnesotans, or even us second-rate Wisconsinites before you go moaning about cold. What, did it dip below freezing for an hour?

    My first pick would be Narnia, since humans get to be kings and heros there, and there's lots of weird half-animal people to freak out my mind. Barring that, perhaps New Zealand, since my wife adores it and the people all seem to be insane and fond of risk. Also I could cheat by not having to learn another language.

    But Narnia would be cooler.

    If Narnia is a legitimate choice then I would pick somewhere west of Eriador close by the sea.

    Right on. Visit the Canadian Prairie Provinces, and then you shall know the meaning of cold.

    Indeed. Chuckle, you don't know what winter's really like unless/until you've lived within 200 miles of the U.S./Canadian border. Trust me.

    Personally, I'd go with Imladris, maybe Erebor.

    Well as I'm an American of half-Norwegian descent currently living in Minnesota, Norway would be one of my first choices. I know it's horrendously expensive to live there, but it's a beautiful country and the people there have a strong reputation for friendliness (especially towards us Minnesotans!). I also speak a little of the language (took it in high school), though I'm by no means fluent.

    My other main choice would probably be Britain. I've always been fascinated by the land and its history, and would love to live in the middle of all that. It's also a relatively short distance from Ireland, which is a plus as I'd want to visit there every now and then. The UK also seems to be a bit of a....quirky place, which appeals to me as well.

    I'd move to Canada.

    But nooo, we _had_ to move to Australia...

    I'd like to have gone to a country where the currency is stronger than the US dollar.

    And it ain't coming back down for at least some time. All you here on the news - Inflation this, inflation that, mortgage rates up, inflation that.... and it goes on like that. *sighs*
