A lot of people who are "from" a place say similar things about the place they're "from". You know ... growing up in a place can negatively affect your view of that place ... if you had bad memories or something, I mean. Like when sharks attacked your village or the typhoon sucked your first love out the window and carried her away into the dark, roiling sky never to be seen or heard from again. Stuff like that. Those things can sponsor a lot of negativity about a person's hometown. Is that a possible reason for his feelings?

For the most part, I think you are correct about some people having negative view of where they grew up. Everybody is always looking for something better, it's just human nature. I've noticed though people that come from Chicago, NYC, or the West Coast absolutely are in love with themselves and where they came from. Most of them will mock the midwest or smaller cities every chance they can get. I really have yet to hear any native Kansas Cityians go....I love it here and I never wish to move. I don't know why. I like Kansas City to be honest with you, and I liked Iowa. They both have unique differences and I'm proud of where I came from. What I don't understand is why people say there is nothing to do in Kansas City. There is nothing to do here compared to WHAT? We don't have beaches year round, that is about it.

Well apart from the fact that you hit the nail on the head, as those things all happened to him... Its sort of a dirty place from what ive heard and not a lot to do... Please forgive me as im no sure how old you are, but for us young, active aussis we need a bit of action...:)

The Netherlands.

America Jr. would be fine, also.

Abba-Dabba 08-15-2008 05:31 AM
The Netherlands would be my first choice. Preferably Noord-Holland. Distant second would be somewhere in the Andalucia region of Spain.

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.

damn-count me in! outside of Tonga, I would say a nice little Greek Island, or Spain.

ffs. I've been posting here for 3 years - where's my ZOMG an OzzZy chiefs fan?!?!

Clearly need to post more anal vids for cred.

When I think about this I'm always thinking "what am i gonna do for a living" - i.e I loved sinking piss at 11am on the beach of a Belizean Island but there didn't look to be a great deal of demand for Lawyers around there.

Same for - Mexico, Thailand, Guatamala - your strong (well, strongish, heh) currency is only useful if you're still making it.

I'd probably pick the US - or possibly France.

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.

The loaner Tonga girls have little holsters on their bikinis that are used to hold extra beers, too. If you wish, you can have several loaner Tonga girls so you'll have plenty of little bikini holsters and you don't have to return them until the next day or so.

While this sounds very nice Mr. FAX, perhaps you should check out Vanuatu. The arts are very much more alive there and the diving/snorkeling can't compare.
Not sure about the beer but I'm willing to bet the female contingent is nearly as oppressed as the Tongans.

Oh, anywhere Spanish-speaking. Probably Spain if I'm still concerned with making money at the time of the move but anywhere in Central or South America if I'm just checking out of the whole career-minded, build-a-retirement-nest-egg thing. Already I have connections that could get me jobs (not really careers) in probably 4 or 5 different countries. There is a part of me that could easily be satisfied living on a tropical beach teaching English or tending bar or acting as dive-master but there is a part of me that keeps thinking I might live past the age of 60 and need money to retire.

Hawaii, definately Hawaii...

Rausch 08-15-2008 09:34 AM

Interesting that I just found this thread. At work yesterday I talked with a customer who is moving with his wife and daughter (15 y.o.) from Columbus, Ohio to Moombasa(sp?). A very interesting guy, he looked like a little old Irish man with a long red beard, but his name was Muhamed Dahir born and raised in Chicago all his family lives in Moombasa, his wife is from Somalia and he married her in Ohio. He served 8 years in the Marines, then 17 in the Army, and served for 5 years at the UN embassy in Moombasa, he was a camp supervisor. He served in Vietnam for 2 years, was injured then deployed home, also served in the Gulf war, and was in Somalia to witness the actions later turned into the movie Blackhawk Down. Very interesting man. Anyways he loves Moombasa and said in a resort area, their hourse is a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath and they pay 400.00 dollars a month, their live in maid is 50 dollars a month, their security which is an actual soldier, but he only patrols as night is 25 dollars a month. He said it's beautiful all year round, food is very cheap, and just a great place too live. He said the main income for their economy is tourists, safari hunts, vacations etc.

Me personally, USA all the way, im never moving out of this country.
