    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.

    I live in Germany*hints at flag in signature people seem to miss often* and would move to the United States of America. They wouldn't even have to force me, I consider to move there anyway.

    Though I love Italy, I couldn't live there I think, so perhaps I'll take my chances with the Dutch, or the axe-wielding Canadians...

    If forced to move elsewhere, I'd probably move to Mexico. The political changes occurring there are especially interesting to me (it was my area of study in college) and I already speak Spanish.

    New Hampshire. Or Maine. Loved it there, if I were to move anywhere it would be the US and the aforementioned states.

    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.

    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.
