If you had to move to a new country.....
If for some reason you could no longer live in the United States where would you want to go? I've never been there, my first choice would be Portugal. I like the food, wine and the lifestyle based on what I've read -and drank.
Another choice would be Guatemala. From what I know the American dollar goes a long way, the cost of living is low and the women are hot. We have a family friend who retired in Mexico on the Pacific coast. She lives in a mostly American community and is very happy there. Apparently her money goes a long way and the health care is cheap. Where would you guys go and why? |

Great question, Mr. RJ. Did Mr. Rain Man provide you with any counsel before you posted this?
Of all the countries in the world, I think I would choose Tonga. They have beautiful beaches and palm trees and the weather is nice and it's not too far from places like New Zealand. I would like to open a little blues club on the beach in Tonga and serve spirits and TexMex. I think it would go over well. FAX |

While Rain man wasn't a consultant I certainly thought of him before I started the thread. I knew he'd be a guy who could offer firsthand input. The African trip thread is one of the Planet's best ever. I don't know anything about Tonga other than it has a cool name.....which, frankly, is good enough for me. I would love to have a beer in a bar on a Tongan beach with a warm Tongan breeze blowing across my bald head. |

Probably Italy. Spent some time in the countryside there and didn't want to leave.

In Tonga, wives don't get angry or upset, Mr. RJ. About anything. Ever. They are always and forever supportive, affectionate, and understanding. For example, in Tonga, wives actually encourage their husbands to demonstrate interest in a van Gogh even though he may already possess a Matisse (if you catch my meaning). It's something in the water.

Girls from Brazil love American men + nice beaches.
Girls from Australia love American men + nice beaches. Girls from England have `summer-teeth.` I'd go to Brazil or Australia if I had to select another country to reside in. |

Germany.
I have a cousin that lives there now and from what I hear from her the schools are good and there are plenty of things to do that would interest me. As far as that goes it is also the land of my great grandparents. |

You're excluding Lucern, right? Don't get me wrong, it's a great city, but I felt a lot safer in Seattle compared to Lucern and Paris.

If you ever say that to a New Yorker, they're going to beat the living daylights out of you.

In Germany, the girls wear lots of clothes on account of the weather. In Tonga, they mostly wear bikinis if anything.
Ergo, Tonga beats Germany. FAX |
