If you could move anywhere in the world... - Page 2

Hands down, Brussels. I could die fat, happy and very very intoxicated there.

But more realistically, I don't think I'll ever be happy settling down in one place. No matter how wonderful my "dream place" could be, in about 2-4 years, I'd be itchin' to get the hell out of Dodge. It's ingrained in me. I enjoy the freedom to move around too much to give it up.

*cowabunga14* · 05-28-2006, 04:09 PM

I'd probably wanna live in a city area like NYC or somethin'. Mainly cuz I know they got good skateboard spots at those types of places. I see New York on movies like Home Alone and it makes me wonder if it would be fun to live there. There's always France, Indonesia, or Greece. I'd probably have a good time living in a foreign country. French is the only other language I know besides English, so I figure I could get around with that. I picked Indonesia and Greece cuz those seem like intresting places and I learned about 'em in seventh grade. I could spend time in the outdoors in Indonesia and island hop a lot. I dunno what I would do in Greece. Maybe I'd just hang out by the Aegean Sea and skate in Athens and keep myself busy there.

eh, once you get past the whole "It's New York" thing. It's not that great

OA · 05-28-2006, 11:13 PM

Back to Puerto Rico for sure (if they can fix that whole poilitcal mess)...

The weather is perfect year round, people are nice, just overall fantastic (except for the seeming shortage of decent jobs)...

Anywhere but my crappy town

*Sewer Bull* · 05-30-2006, 12:09 PM

I'm with damnhooligan. Brussels all the way, I could move there anytime.

But I'm with Barkworm as well. I've spent almost all my life in my hometown and I really love it.

*iris* · 05-30-2006, 12:56 PM

What's so great about Brussels? (I'm always looking for interesting places to visit.)

05-30-2006, 01:26 PM

To be honest, I really wouldn't want to live anywhere else than the city I live in right now. Toronto has everything and it's just too damn awesome. Many say it's like a slightly smaller version of New York city which I can believe.
I especially like where I live in the city (which is practicly the heart of the city) where I have everything I need within walking distance. I couldn't live in a better place.

*Dr. Doom* · 05-30-2006, 03:18 PM

Oddly enough I'm with Ryo on this one to an extent. At the risk of sounding unpatriotic, I always thought it'd be cool to move to Canada because it's pretty much just like America without like 99.9% of the bullsh*t (you know what I mean). And Toronto, as well as Vancouver both always seemed like really nice places to live. Of course, as soon as I left, I'd probably find several things I missed about America, but I guess that's bound to happen in most cases.

*iris* · 05-30-2006, 03:53 PM

I used to think I wanted to live in Canada; I usually feel very at home there. I have spent a lot of time in Ottawa (with family), and I've visited other places there. Their government (and general attitude) is slightly more progressive than that of the US, but they've got their own problems too.

Peanut · 05-30-2006, 04:35 PM

We have no problems here! Canada is God's Country! I'd never want to leave Canada. I've been out of the country once, and that was just over the boarder in Buffalo. Never leaving.

*iris* · 05-30-2006, 04:41 PM

LOL! Okay, I concede, Canadia makes every day a special day, and I like it just the way it is.

For me, the great appeal lies with the fact that my favourite style of beer, Lambic is brewed exclusively just outside of Brussels. Not to mention all the other awesome alcoholic beverages. Belgium is a beer geek's wet dream.

But all liver-complicating aside: waffles, very foreigner-friendly, mussels, a nice working metro system, the best french fries you've ever had, culture out the ass. It's definitely worth a stop if you're in the general European metro area.

*Hannah* · 05-30-2006, 07:20 PM

NYC. The only bad things are tourists and cockroaches. >_>

*Dr. Doom* · 05-30-2006, 07:22 PM

She's lying. She wants to move to Doomstadt.

*iris* · 05-30-2006, 08:53 PM

That sounds awesome! (But not better than teh Canada, of course.)
