If you had to move, where would you go? - Page 3

Looking towards Leith with the Forth and Fife beyond.

Taken from Calton Hill, it's a nice place during the day, even nicer at night - particularly if you have a fondness for mugging and male prositutes (my chosen path back to my car had me to wading knee-deep through used condoms and packets of anal lube).

The photo also shows that, contrary to popular belief, that it doesn't always rain in Scotland. It's raining now though!

I've always loved Scotland.

Nice photo Rhia

Why all the buggery? Is that very common?

I was living in Seattle when I visited Scotland. So I wouldn't have noticed a difference. As I recall, though, we had fairly nice weather -- and this was the first week of December.

Thanks for the pic.

Bahamas, if I had to bring my wife.

Alaska, if I was by myself.

Montana or Alaska. Or my own island, rest of the world is too crazy and full of foreigners.

If you had your own island, wouldn't everyone be a foreigner by definition?

Oh, and here's the visa application you'll need. It's $50 for processing."

Toronto seems like a nice place.

It's funny. All my life I've been trying to get away from the city, believing that happiness = lots of room. Now I find myself really missing it. I miss the neighbors (I hear that some are actually nice though I haven't met many of these theoretical characters), being able to bike or walk to what you need, cultural events, diversity, and just, well, being around interesting people.

But it would have to be a really *great* city. I'm afraid that Dayton and Cincinnati don't really qualify.

I've heard that Cleveland rocks.

Rhianne, the buildings in the foreground seem to have a huge enclosed courtyard. Is that the backyard for the people that live in the buildings surrounding it, or is there a way for the public to access it, like a park?

naw, just a difference in our ideas of paradise. She likes it warm and naked.

It won't be a public area Bruce. From experience, they vary between tatty and well kept gardens and are usually subdivided between the properties. Despite their appearance only a small percentage of the properties are actually homes with most (certainly the part facing us) being 'executive offices' and the like.
