[Rain Man]

I couldn't go to a beach country like Tonga. I hate tracking sand into the house.

The honest answer is probably Canada. It's basically just the U.S. with a lower sun.

If not Canada, Australia would seem high, though their food is just enough different that it's a little freaky. I actually would probably pick France over Australia, assuming that I could find a job where I could speak English. France is cool.

I'll also throw out an unusual one: Nepal. Most gorgeous country I've ever seen, and you can live there cheap. Just don't burst an appendix or you die.

I was surprised at how similar to America South Africa was. Any of us could live there and not even have to make an adjustment. However, the opinion of a fair number of South Africans was a strong concern that the country is headed on a long downhill journey, which is very sad. Their new president is apparently some tribal loon who is either stupid or completely ignorant of the world. I'm hoping it doesn't slowly slide toward Zimbabwe.
