Where would you relocate to
Well maybe I'm just bored with my existence as is, but I am playing with the idea of perhaps relocating and starting new. So if you were going to relocate someplace where and why?
Or would you recommend where you are now and why?

Australia or New Zealand are probably the only two places that seem nicer than where I am now, mostly because of the weather. Actually, I've heard that Calgary and Edmonton are nice, but just as cold (if not moreso).

The Spring Green Wi area. Beautiful country and an eclectic mixure of artists and farmers.

I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

Northern California. I lived there from 1998-2001, and I've been wanting to move back ever since. Love the climate, the food, the proximity to the mountains. The traffic I could so without.

Which part? Northern Cal is geographically more than half the state.
The only place i can think of is South Lake Tahoe. I use to spend entire summers there growing up. I have a lot of fond memories of it. Yes, i've been back since, and it IS just like going home again.
Santa Monica's nice, too.

Montana. I love that sate. Western Montana is a lot like western Washington, only it doesn't rain as much, less traffic, it actually snows in the winter, and its actually hot in the summer. In other words, it actually has more than 2 seasons (Seattle, cold and rainy vs. warm and semi-rainy) and the quietness is what I love. Nice and layed back.

I lived in Pleasant Hill, and I really like that area. But if I were going to move back I'd probably prefer to live closer to the water where it's not so hot in the summers. I liked Marin County; not sure I'd ever be able to afford it, though.

Somewhere in B.C. Canada.
Beautifull land, liberal and laid back. I would move but my wife would never.

Somewhere in Japan. I've spent over half my life studying the language and culture, and now I think I'll die without ever having a chance to use it for anything but reading Japanese comic books.

I'd love to visit Germany and Japan before I die. But I'm only 20, so I probably have a while.

I'd go back to London in a heartbeat if I could afford it.
Otherwise, I love where I live, but I wouldn't recommend it to most people necessarily. I think it takes a special type of person to like living where I do, and one of the things I find most appealing is that there aren't millions of others in the area.

Try the JET program sponsored by the Ministry of Education. Contact your local consulate of Japan now. Competition is tough.

If I was able to function even a little in my own country I would have left ages ago, but I am a crazy man with a criminal record. It's not going to be easy for me to enter Japan. I'd probably have a better chance stowing away on a pirate ship.
