Just about any-where, right? I couldn't agree more. But if I could adopt a new country, or have it adopt me, it would be (anywhere in) Great Britain.

Reason: I love history, particularly western, post-Roman Empire. And I have an affinity for GB because of my heritage...I'm about as Anglo-Saxon as an American can be (and some of my bloodlines have been here almost 400 years). There is NO bloodline that goes outside that category, which might explain the troublesome gene pool.

Hmm... Ireland, Scotland, England, Australia, New Zealand or USA.

Does it show I have a thing for English languaged countries?

'your country' as in Taiwan? Definitely back to the states. Maryland. Cause that's where my love lies waiting silently for me...

...well, maybe not silently...

'your country' as in the US? Sweden or the UK. Or Austrailia.

i still have to see new york. but in terms of having to live somewhere. if i didnt have to worry about language or cost of living id say florence italy. or if i didnt have to worry about alcohol poisoning, it would be queenstown NZ.

Does anyone actually live in Queenstown? Actually, I know they do. I suppose it's like asking if anyone actually lives in Las Vegas.

Seeing as I don't really mind living in England I'd say Australia, which seems to be basically the same as England... only on Prozac...

That's probably just because they don't have bad weather to complain about like we do.

I wouldn't leave my country...I know, I know, it's all hypothetical "what if you had to" etc, etc...I don't have to...and I won't have to. I'm staying put.

I Tend to think about a coast town in central america ( any country will do , as long as the cops are EASY to PAY OFF ) , Crasy Senyor Zip , liveing in the jungle , near the coast , owning the land from the jungle to the beach , just don't bother him , all is good unless you mess with him !!!

So I wouldn't mind getting back to the scene of the crime...particularly Wales. Only problem there is the rain..........I'd be a perpetual prune suffering from seasonal affective disorder. Not a pretty picture. Ok, so maybe the Italian Alps...at least I could get to GB for frequent visits.
