i am from the philippines and my boyfriend is from sweden. so, i'll surely choose sweden. i will soon move to his place within this year! and i really want to go there for a few months first before staying there forever. atleast, get an idea on what is life in sweden, know the people around, meet my boyfriend's family and friends. then go back to the philippines after a few months and buy the necessary things i need to bring to sweden and buy gifts to the poeple i knew from the vacation i had there. might be really good.

I never had given that much thought. Could I choose a cruise ship and visit several Mediterranean ports? I think I would like that. I would really like to see Greece. I am thinking of the warmth of Italy as well. Wishing for spring.

Bora Bora. I want to stay there for months, get to know all the locals, go diving...find my own secret coves, map all the good reefs, fish for my own food and so on! I'll probably bring a lot of wasabe and eat half the seafood raw; especially the crustaceans! Then I will come back to Malaysia, so that I can pig-out with you! lol

I would pretty definitely want to go to London, or at least some part of Britain. I've been in love with their culture my entire life. I find that I am more drawn to their music, comedy and television (and radio, since they have great radio comedy shows, too, which we don't really have much left of here in America) and that I even care more about their news, their politics, and other things that I just can't get that motivated to care passionately about when it comes to the United States. I do love where I live, don't get me wrong, but it would be wonderful to have an extended stay in London or some part of Britain.

I think....New Zealand.
I had an uncle who went there in 1916 and had two children who are around my age and I have never seen them.
I have been in touch with them for a number of years and from what they say its a lovely place.
I have also had friends who have been and they said it is a beautiful place too.
So my choice...New Zealand!

Well no great surprise but I guess the first place I would like to stay for months is Ireland just because I feel so at home there. My Mother was born in the house where I go to stay and we all go back there during the year but only for about 2-3 weeks at a time. Other than that I'd love to stay in India as the country fascinates me, I'd love to see all the countries around the himalayas as well. Well, I can dream!!!

Hi, Well thats a toughy! I think I would go to America for a few months as there's loads of places that I would like to visit and feel that I would probably need a few months to see everything that I want to see!

If I had to choose a place then it would definetely be Costa Rica. My dad is from there and all of his family currently resides there as well. I have only been there a couple of times in my life but would really enjoy a longer visit instead of just two weeks. There is so much to do there that it is like paradise. Always beautiful weather,beautiful mountains,lakes,beaches and cool volcanos where you can see the acid and lava inside. Also, because nobody has noticed, the cr in crsoccerplayer6 stands for costa rica:)

I guess I would wanna go somewhere far away, somewhere I have never been. Already lived in ireland and turkey so I guess somewhere in Asia - or maybe australia would be something to think about and dream about.
Always wanted to visit asia - not just china but japan and Vietnam as well =)
