If you had to move to a new country.....

[RJ]

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?

Your desire to inflict that watered-down culinary bastard known as TexMex upon the innocent people of Tonga is most distressing Mr. Fax.

Yes, I was thinking more like Lausanne... and ive been to both of those cities you mention, and I feel alot safer than being in Buenos Aires where I have lived...

England is full of a bunch of bloody prats. Ireland is the same. Australia is full of blowhards, and I'm not living in ****ing New Zealand.

Looks like Canada

If I could perfect my German, I'd definitely go to Austria

I love Australians. Maybe it's because we were visiting my wife's relatives, but I've never laughed so hard, lived life so fully, and been treated with such hospitality as in Australia.

Swiss girls are more than likely to eat real Meat if you know what im saying...

Shit...what was I thinking? Well, apparently not about why someone might not feel safe in New York. I'll change that to Seattle...my trip there felt very safe, too.

I take that back about the hospitality:

Coolest hospitality story I have is when my wife and I were on our honeymoon in Jamaica. We were hanging out pool side after dinner at Jake's and were approached by a much older (retirement age) couple who started talking to us. They were down at Jake's having dinner and drinks, but lived in the area. Next thing we know, they invited us to their house for dinner the following evening. The husband came and picked us up in the early afternoon, took us to a bunch of local sights, then to their house. They basically threw a party for us, with a 6 course dinner of local fare. It was one of those very cool experiences that happen when you travel.

Greek islands. I lived in Greece for 2 years and like the food and pretty much know the way things work, and still remember a good bit of the language. The greek isles remind me alot of the florida keys with the laid-back and often simple lifestyle. I could dig it.

Ya su and efcharisto was about the extent of my Greek, but I got by for a month backpacking around Crete. It was a very, very cool experience. Went down the Sumerian Gorge area, then hiked along the beaches headed west on the island. I'd hike into a village, pick up food for the day and evening, then hike out and spend the night on a beach. Then hike to the next village the following day. Just me and the shepherds. It was a very cool experience, and I'll always love Greece.

Love their womens accent to boot.

My place of choice would be Muenchen, Germany. Wonderful people, the best beer hall in all the world, great women both before and after drinking, and they use the auf bau principle. SPITZE!
