Where would you want to live if you could pick anywhere? And why?

I am a Indian by birth. And you know what? There is hardly anyone who disrespects his/her own mother land. If I choose any other's mother only because that my mother is not beautiful to look at and not smart enough to compete with others, would not the world laugh at me? Besides I follow the saying in Sanskrit - "Janani, Janmabhumi swargadapi Gariyashi" that connots -" mother and motherland both are far superior to heave". This is why I would not pick any other place even if I were paid a million dollar for this. The only thing I love my mother, and I love my motherland that fed me and helped me grow to this time as I am replying to your topic. thanks.

I was born in country of China, and moved to big city when I finished school in university. I like country thought the big city is well-ful, rich, convenient and in work. I like to live with my family, father, mother, and sister, of course, my wife. But my wife has her family,father and mother, I have my job and friends in city. I cann't be back to country and live there.

I agree Australia is a great place to live. However I've lived in Thailand for ten years and loved it also. You have to make the most of what you have. All places have plusses and minuses.

i wouldn't want to live anywhere eslse but right where i am. i hsvr lived in tennessee all my life & plan to die here.

Hello paula27661! I live and born here in the Philippines dor 22 years and now I got married. If I coud pick one place where I want to live right now, it would be in Florida. My husband is there now and we are still applying for a visa for me to go there. That's what I am really hoping at this moment.

Hello, I have never been to Australia. I live in the Seattle Washington area, about 16 minutes away driving time.I love this area. Mountains are close by,the Pacific ocean is close by. I consider it the best place, at least for me. The weather is not too hot and rarely get snow(tho this winter we got heavy snow fall) during the winter unless you go to the mountains which is about an hour away. it really doesn't rain as much as people are led to believe, we get less rainfall than New York City per year.I heard New Zeland is beautiful and has nice weather.I would like to see it.

i would probably stay in america, although i like Japan, i don't know if i could live there. I'd be a real toss up between Hawaii and California, my 2 homes. since i grew up in hawaii but i live in cali now because its just bigger and connected to land..haha. but the laid back, nice calm feel is always nice.

Either Michigan on the water or Ireland. I love the look of Ireland with it's castles. I also miss the water in Michigan...I'd love to move back there. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

At the moment I live just 22 miles outside of London in the UK I have to say that I have never been very happy living here even thou I have been here all my life. There is two places that I would like to live one would be Ireland as that is where my partner was born and bred. He still has a lot of family there. My youngest son was also born there. It has the most wonderful scenery and the people are very friendly. The other place would be the Isle of Wight it is a small island at the bottom of England. I have been there on holiday about 5 times now and am going back again this year. I have always had a sense of belonging there when I am visiting the island. It also has lovely sandy beaches as well.

I've never been anywhere else in my life except here in Philippines. I really do wish to live in New Zealand or Georgia US if only I could. Oh well, luck isn't much on my side. I think New Zealand would be a great place to race a family. It's civilation is not too crowded and most of all the scenery is just so peaceful. They still have so many untouched lands their that are just beautiful and breathtaking. I've browsed on the net some of the NZ places. Why Georgia USA, my mother in-law has been leaving there for that past 7 years, she's alone so we want to go there and be with her. And an even more appealing thing about it is, she's leaving far from the city so I think that's just wonderful.

I live here in the Philippines. I want to go to other countries but I think this is the best place for me because my family and friends are here. I want to be in Africa to see canivals,lol

Right now I live in the suburbs, which is a very nice, comfortable place to live. It's alright living here but if I had the choice I would much rather live in a city. To me the city would be much more fun. More people to see, more places to go. I enjoy the hustle and bustle of cities and I would enjoy living there. For a long time I had always wanted to live in New York City because my mother grew up there, but now they are saying NYC is losing its swagger. i have heard that places like Seattle are becoming much more trendy cities to live in.

I was born in the Philippines and although our country has a perfect balance of weather throughout the year, I dream of someday migrating to Australia.

I currently live in the U.S. Ohio. I love it. The summers are hot, the winters are cold. Makes for a great place to live really. Having a constant climate all year would drive me insane, not to mention I love right by Lake Erie.

Hello paula, I am from Philippines and I am very much happy staying in the Philippines, there is no place like home..

I would like to live somewhere in Europe.... I would like to try England or Ireland for certain though there's so much beauty in Europe I suppose I would have to tour Europe before I would make such a dramatic decision.... Provided hubby would even get on a plane *LOL* Otherwise I would like to check out New Zealand (seems popular on other posts as well). I used to have a pen pal there when I was a tween (late 80's) and she would send me pictures of where she lived, the beaches and how things were all within an hours reach like going skiing, then travel a few hours you are in the countryside, and a lil further back to the beach. Plus it's probably warmer there than here & hopefully a cheaper cost of living ;)

If given a chance i'd like to live somewhere in Europe.. I like the fact that you can travel to different countries by land, cool isn't? my aunt's been in Germany to visit my uncle and they went to Paris, France by driving for hours.. i don't know exactly how many hours but it amazes me, big time!

Hi paula! I have moved around quite a bit but I always end up in my home state. I have never thought about living in another country but I guess it would be somewhere in Europe..lol..That doesn't narrow it down very much does it? Take care.

I am living in india. I have tried many times to settle in singapore never happened. When we had a decision to migrate into australia that plan also droped because of the money investment problem during 1980s. Now I am married and settled in india. I don't know where I could be if that plan went successful. Now I am recalling that after reading your discussion.

i would definitely live in venice, italy..... well actually lido,italy (it's a small island off the coast of vanice).. i've traveled to many different countries in my life, but venice will always have my heart.
