Where do you rather live?

[Bright Banana Beard]

My top list of where I rather live.

1. Singapore, Singapore
2. New York City, USA
3. Osaka, Japan
4. Toronto, Canada
5. London, UK

[Tomhet]

I don't know man, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, and Belgium would top my list.. Norweigan and Swiss B.A.S.E jumping is some of the worlds best if not the best, that's part of the reason..

[Wanted Man]

I honestly wouldn't mind living in Norway, not sure where exactly, probably as southerly as possible due to the cold. It looks like it may be one of the few places to go to escape the disastrous demolition of higher education in the Netherlands. The idea of not having to pay tuition sounds pretty attractive, really. It's also a prosperous place with lots of natural beauty. Scandinavian countries are also said to be desperately recruiting Dutch immigration for some reason.

[ed miliband]

Berlin, Utrecht, or somewhere in Belgium so I could eat moules frites and drink Duvel and Chimay every day.

[Pretty Flaco]

Siberia or Death Valley

[Sam_b]

I like where i'm living, but wouldn't mind more time in the Czech Republic.

[Il Medico]

Europe.


But more specifically....

France:Either in Paris or the South of France.

Spain: Northern Spain, near the Pyrenees, but not too far from the Med Coast (I like living near the Ocean)

Italy: Tuscany has always sounded nice. Lots of art and cultural stuff there, a person like me's wet dream so to say. Though honestly I think i would go South of Naples, into Calabria, where my family is from and live on some rustic vineyard.

England: If I did, I would live in London, mainly because it is a city and to be able to get to France easier. But visting the rest of the place wouldn't be horrible.


As for places in the US-
Maybe southern cali, near a beach.
Atalanta is the only place in the south I actually enjoyed living, unfortunately its been nearly a decade. :(
NYC is just awesome, but I think i'd still prefer the old world charm of European cities.

[Ele'ill]

Somewhere cold and in a house I've built myself.

http://planetsave.com/files/2008/09/hildecobinsnow.jpg


I am going to save up to buy land and build a house to live in such as that- the smell of woodstove good food and beer will always be present.

[Admiral Swagmeister G-Funk]

In the UK: London, Edinburgh or Glesgae.

Elsewhere: Barcelona, Spain; Athens, Greece; New York, US.

In fairness, anywhere would be better than the armpit of a town I currently live in.

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

id have to say Toronto, Finland, or Vancouver

[gorillafuck]

I'd like to live in Boston for at least some part of my life.

[Pirate Utopian]

I guess New York would be cool for a while. A year or two. Not permanently though.

[Kamerat]

Can't understand why people want to live in Norway, is so cold. Sure the welfare system is in a class of its own, the unemployment rate is low and education and health care is free. But its not worth it, so much snow and so cold and dark its so depressing, summers are great though.

I would like to live in Viñales, Cienfuegos or Trinidad in Cuba. Its not a workers paradise but, the climate is great and the scenery is nice.

[4 Leaf Clover]

BarcelonaBarcelona really sucks as a living place. I spent 2 days there and i already had enough of it. It's full of mugs , it's expensive , too noisy , too crowded , bad food , kiosks , lousy metro , too many suspicious characters , drug dealers. I guess football and beauty of the city are only virtues

i would live in :

Ljubljana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ljubljana) , Slovenia
Wuppertal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuppertal), Germany , for being so green , and for ultra-cool flying trams
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/49/Wuppertal_Schwebebahn_2005.jpg
I mean , this is just WOW !

Glasgow
Dublin , or some small town in Ireland
Some backwater in Sweden or Norway
Some backwater in Cuba
Some very sneaky but well supplied backwater in Vietnam , surrounded by jungle with shaded lake in the middle , where sun doesn't interrupt the peace and harmony of nature too much , full of cheerful warm and helpful citizens who only like to make love with each other , make tasty food , live modestly , playing simple but relaxing music and so and so ...... :unsure:

[Kamerat]

That almost looks a little futuristic. Would be cool to live in Wuppertal. Engels is from that city too.

[kitsune]

Kyoto would be my top pick. Then probably Hong Kong, right in Central, overlooking the harbor. The southeast coast of France would be nice, too. Villefranche-sur-Mer or Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, like that.

[4 Leaf Clover]

looks even more futuristic when one of these actually crosses over a street with all those cars under it

[kitsune]

I saw something about that Schwebebahn suspended monorail just a short time ago. I couldn't believe it started operating in 1901.

[Blackscare]

Gran Rojo, if you seriously want to live in Singapore, read this. (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/1.04/gibson.html)


Anyway, my answer is either 40-50 miles west of here, or Ukraine. Lovely place.

[Tifosi]

Iceland

France
Spain
Belize
Dominican Republic
Berlin

Aye youse all should come to Glasgow, it's mentallll

It becomes extremely tempting when one's own government is about to push through a €3,000 increase in tuition fees if you have any kind of delay in your study, or if you want to do a new study after graduation, as well as turning your student grants into a loan as soon as you have a delay. To go from that to fully subsidised uni with no tuition at all sounds like heaven.

Of course, they do say that people in Scandinavia are rather "closed" with regards to strangers, and attempting to settle there on your own can get pretty lonely. The most obvious solution is to study there for a year first and meet a beautiful blonde. Of course, the problem here is that once that's accomplished, I'll probably have incurred a gargantuan study debt back in Holland...

What are we going to do about that? Well, I'll probably earn my money as a whaler, giving a big finger to environmentalist whiners back home. A pretty attractive aspect of Norway, to be honest.

Chicago. NYC maybe, but I've never been, so I can't make a real solid call on it.

[Salyut]

USA and then Europe.

I like guns and this country isn't conductive to that. That and "liberals".

Plus the Alaskan bush would be sweet.

(if that ain't possible Haida Gwaii = awesome. Tlell sounds like the place.)

[Vendetta]

I dunno.

Back to the other coast of the US, I guess.

[Summerspeaker]

At this point, anywhere that's warm all year round.

Winter makes me a sad panda. :(

[The Fighting_Crusnik]

Somewhere in Norway or Sweden and maybe Germany... which I'm already learning German but my switch to Swedish or Norwegian since it is far easier to learn than German :p

[Magón]

San Fernando. And no, I'm not talking the San Fernando Valley, I'm talking San Fernando, VZ (Venezuela). Travelled there a couple years back, and loved it. I think it's much better than Caracas because the Capital is too noisy during the day, and exhaust from the cars give me a headache. Plus San Fernando is right there on a river, and between two national parks that are pretty sweet to mess around in too.

Other places


Madrid, Spain

Cordoba, Mexico (I would say Veracruz, but that place is too American/European Touristy for my taste.)

Papua New Guinea (because I'd probably be the first Mexican ever to touch New Guinea soil. :p)

And usually places either tropical or warm for most of the year. I turn to an ice cube when it's too cold.

[Tablo]

1. Birmingham, Alabama
2. Vancouver, Canada
3. San Diego, California
4. Seoul, South Korea
5. Berlin, Germany
6. Tokyo, Japan
7. Somewhere in England..
8 Somewhere in France..

[Il Medico]

1. Birmingham, Alabama

:blink:Why on earth would you want to live in that dump? One of the worse places I've ever been to.....and I live in Fl.

[Quail]

I'd like to live in Berlin again, although my German is terrible these days, or somewhere in France, maybe somewhere in the south.

Although to be fair, Sheffield is a fairly nice place and I like it here.

[Jazzratt]

Places I would like to live, in no particular order:


Still in England, but further north. There are many reasons, not only is it cheap but I've personal reasons for wanting to be there. Plus the accents are funny and I can wow the locals with simple technology :lol:
Amsterdam. I visited the city when my sister was living there and I love the place. The tram system, for whatever reason, was a particular highlight for me. There's also, obviously, the whole smoking thing but I'm not a huge stoner or anything so it's not the city's primary appeal. Of course I'd be one of those pricks who moves somewhere but doesn't speak a lick of the language, hopefully I'd pick it up.
One of the warmer parts of America. I've always wondered what living in the good ol' US of A was like and I hate the cold so... I'd probably end up in a state where being a bisexual anarchist wins one few friends, however.
Bandar Seri Begwan, Brunei. I remember it from my childhood, nice place although the government there has banned drinking - still it's a short hop over the border to get wasted and/or smuggle me back some hooch and my booze making skills would be handy too. I also spent some time learning the language, it's all but rusted off but I reckon I could get the lingo again if I tried.
Tokyo, Japan. Not for a long time, maybe six months to a year but I'd really like to see what all the fuss is about. Then again I hear they don't take kindly to foreigners so giving it a miss might be smart.

[NecroCommie]

If I had to choose according to my...

-future plans --> Turku, Finland
-dream Job --> London, England (Library of the british museum... :cool:)
- Awesome political and societal conditions ---> Stockholm, Sweden

[Tablo]

:blink:Why on earth would you want to live in that dump? One of the worse places I've ever been to.....and I live in Fl.
Be cause it is my home town and where all my friends and family live.

[BeerShaman]

Maybe Germany, Ireland or France. But if you asked me will you live your country to live somewhere else, I'd say no. 'Cause I want to change Greece, not just evade the situation.

[Quail]

(And for the record, I don't have a funny accent, but I do sometimes use weird Derbyshire-isms)

[Fawkes]

I can't envision myself living anywhere other than NYC for a long time, but if I ever happen upon a lot of money (unlikely) I would like to have a small second home in western/northern Ireland (ROI more likely than N. Ireland), possibly on an island off the coast.

Love Bruges but it'd get boring after a while I think. Antwerp is better.

Compared to many countries living in the US and UK is really good.

[Os Cangaceiros]

I was born in Alaska and I plan to die there. It's the best place I've ever lived, although definitely not for everyone.

I love to travel, though, and I hope to live in a lot of different places.

[Os Cangaceiros]

I can't speak for the UK, but I can easily see why people would want to visit and/or live in areas of the United States.

[Blackscare]

In the US, "warm" and "accepting of bisexual anarchists" are mutually-exclusive things. Unless you want to live in that shithole of a state they call California.

Don't listen to Esperanza's lies, LA is one giant sprawling canker sore. All the buildings are squat and ugly :( No thanks, I'll just go to Bellport, LI, for that.

[Os Cangaceiros]

If you're interested in a hot liberal enclave, then I'd recommend Austin TX.

Best bet is saving at lesat 3 months worth of rent beforehand so you don't get stuck without a job, and get roommates. Doesn't matter if you have friends who want to or not, there's always people looking for roommates in NYC. Brooklyn or Queens are the cheapest, Queens being best. Expect about 800 a month if you're renting a room in a suite with like 3-4 other people.


I'm renting a crawlspace in a suite in a few weeks, 400 a month! Downside is, it's about 4 feet hight, 5 feet wide, and 15 feet deep. So it's just a place to sleep basically. But Ima make it comfy, opium den style.

Fine, take the states with populations. I love Omaha (hometown), all the random cities in Iowa (Davenport, Iowa City, Des Moines) and Kansas City (the Missouri side is better...)

The badlands are so awesome, but I left out South Dakota for the mere smelliness that is Sioux Falls... actually, I may be thinking of Sioux City (IA). I forget, nor' do I want to remember that smell.

I haven't been to North Dakota.

[Ele'ill]

My only experience with Nebraska is when I passed through it sort of twice- spent the night and when I got up the next day it still smelled like sewage still. Yeah I know it's probably a great place but it reminded me of New Jersey post apocalypse.

...Stinkin' Lincoln? I grew up in clean ol' Omaha, so I'm sure some of the other cities with the meat-processing plants smell.

Omaha rules. There isn't much in Lincoln unless you like (american) football or DIY shows/music. You can forget the rest of the state (i.e. central and western NE). I mean, the sandhills are kind of cool, but for the drive through the state isnt much (just like most states...) Come visit Henry Doorly Zoo next time. I still have yet to ride the skyfari :(

8. Brussels, Belgium
9. Vienna, Austria
10. Helsinki, Finland

Unsure about the ranking... also Antwerp, Reyjkjavik, San Jose, Buenos Aires...

[Bright Banana Beard]

You could also just move back to Fl. But the worst thing in Singapore is anti-drug and DEATH PENALTY!

[kalu]

If I had no commitments, no family, and no one I needed to visit, probably somewhere in Alaska along the coast, a house with giant windows.

If I was obnoxiously rich and didn't care about privilege, a palace in Key Biscayne, Florida (with a speedboat landing, of course).

But, more practically speaking, I'm a big fan of colder rural areas, beaches, and mountains (a bit of an odd combination, I know). I generally am not a fan of "big" cities (SF and DC are exceptions). So: Minnesota or Wisconsin, San Diego or Santa Barbara, Vancouver or San Francisco. Oaxaca's very nice as well.

Yeah, just search on craigslist, there are tons of people advertising rooms or looking for a room. Generally speaking, the further you are from Manhattan, the cheaper it's gonna be.

[Devrim]

To me it is important to live somewhere with blue skies. Here in Ankara the sky is virtually always blue, even in the winter. When I go somewhere like London I find the 'grayness' very depressing, and wouldn't like to live there permanently (though I did in the 80s). I would also like to live near the sea, which I don't at the moment. I would prefer to live in a reasonably big city. Also language is a consideration as I am too old to be learning a new one, so I would choose somewhere with English or Arabic as the main language.

On those criterium I would consider Beirut, Alexandria, or Sydney. If I moved within Turkey, I would prefer to move to İstanbul, İzmir, Adana or possibly Mersin. Of course work is an important element.

Denmark and Sweden are shitawesome. That's pretty much it. Though Denmark is expensive as fuck. I'd guess Malmo would be one my overall favorite cities - a couple of cool leftist locations, a large supply of vegan food, actually far larger and more accessible than any other city I've been to, rather cheap all in all, big university population (counting in Lund), a beach, a nice park, very close to Copenhagen. All in all, pretty awesome, yes.

Of course that's only the infrastructural side...never lived there.

Aaah, then i see, however you should know that the region of Skåne (where Malmö and Lund are located) is a bit different then the rest of Sweden and they tend to have a much more younger population and many active leftiste scen, which means that they are not repressentative for the rest of the country. Anyway Copenhagen is awsome!

Aaah, then i see, however you should know that the region of Skåne (where Malmö and Lund are located) is a bit different then the rest of Sweden and they tend to have a much more younger population and many active leftiste scen, which means that they are not repressentative for the rest of the country. Anyway Copenhagen is awsome!

Heh. Well Stockholm shouldn't be too bad either. About the rest of Sweden...well... lol. I wouldn't want to live in mainland (North/East) Denmark either.

it isn't the water, lol. everything is grey and gloomy and wet - its depressing. plus there isn't a whole lot to do besides get wasted. i'm not really sure why anyone would want to visit, to be honest.

Also, everything in Hamburg is grey, gloomy and wet too. :s

As much as I would love to have another Left Com in this god forsaken hellhole, I wouldn't recommend. The beaches are nice and all but they last for bout half a mile in and then all Florida is is a mucky, wet, bug filled swamp.

My experience with Singapore is that it more or less epitomizes sterility in every negative sense.

I like industrial areas. They have some steampunk chic.

[NoOneIsIllegal]

I once went to the guide councilor in High School, and the talk eventually lead to her suggesting I move to Seattle. I almost took a swing at her.

Why would anyone want to live in London? I dread having to travel to the place - transport, overcrowded etc.

Just curious, what's the appeal...

I have never heard anything good from US people that have visited Paris.

That's New York.

That says that you have never been in cyprus!

Leo: Athens?2 reasons i can only think myself for anyone to want to move to that shithole, especially now... Good anti-authoritarian movement, and AEK


I would have said Miami personally but Il medico ruined it for me :tt2: I really dont know right now, anywhere outside of here would be great.Prague and Carlo vi Vari(something like that) were great when i went on vacations but that dont tells much as i know most tourists down here love cyprus...:rolleyes:

Also, some where in the Mediterranean sounds lovely as well. (like Southern Italy or some Greek island)

Had it not already been more or less the case, I'd probably go with 'in solitude in the mountains'. I would have to say near the Mediterranean as depicted in previous post.

anywhere warm right now its so cold in London

One thing i love about cyprus, right now the weather is what you would call summer there in UK.And as i love summer and fucking hate autumn and been cold, this is a great reason to stay around here.
Of course for us down here, 25 C, seems a bit cold, i can imagine that for you its pretty hot heh
I dont know what i am going to do next year if i come up in UK, i will probably buy some wallpapers of summer to put on the windows:lol:

[Leo]

That's New York.

As much as I like the food in New York and in the US in general (it is quite standard ain't it?), I wouldn't go as far to say it is the best in the world.


Leo: Athens?2 reasons i can only think myself for anyone to want to move to that shithole, especially now... Good anti-authoritarian movement, and AEK

Yeah, well, what can I say? I've been there and quite liked it.

[F9]

i dont think you would if you were staying permanently. :tt2:
Unless you were a student of course, cause there things change :p

No, NYC is kickass cause pretty much every food in the world can be found here.

Do you live in Seattle '9', , are you from there, or do you have another reason for this intense dislike?



I hear one can find the best food in the world there.That's New York.

People I know who have lived in both say London is a better place to eat than New York.

Well yes, London is the same but more so. As much as it may be a shock to Americans London is more cosmopolitan than New York.

Did you think that everyone in England ate boiled vegetables?

The advantage that New York has over London is that it is cheaper. This is good if you are a visitor, but if you are living in New York in a low wage economy, it probably balances out.

I like Athens too. It is a nice city.

I live in a port city about 30miles from seattle, and have lived in seattle briefly in the past. I'm originally from philadelphia, though.

I don't know, I actually prefer seattle to the city where I'm living now, but that isn't really saying anything. but the whole puget sound area is gloomy and grey all of the time, especially the industrial centers. I don't remember it ever bothering me that much in the past, but for some reason its really started getting to me lately; I just find it really depressing.

[Os Cangaceiros]

You can eat at a different resturaunt in New York every day for your entire life and never eat at the same place twice. The diversity of cuisine there is staggering.

I've never been there, but I've spent a lot of time in NYC. New York has a larger and more ethnically diverse population than London has (supposedly you can hear over 60 different languages being spoken in New York on any given day), so I'm skeptical about the notion that London is really a better place for food. The prices may be better, though.

You're right, its a subjective matter of taste. You asshole.

Anyways, i see alot of peoples here like Freetown Christiania, im actually going to visit that place soon so i hope it lives up to the anarcho-collectivism(yawn) its been known for and by people here.

[ed miliband]

London is the greatest city on Earth.

[ed miliband]

I've never been there, but I've spent a lot of time in NYC. New York has a larger and more ethnically diverse population than London has (supposedly you can hear over 60 different languages being spoken in New York on any given day), so I'm skeptical about the notion that London is really a better place for food. The prices may be better, though.

Over 300 languages are spoken in London and over 40% of London's population is from an 'ethnic minority' group.

[Fawkes]

We're bigger.

[Il Medico]

We're bigger.
Populations wise, by about half a million.

London is bigger in terms of area covered, with the greater London area covering 610 sq miles while New York City is about half that at 304.8 sq miles.

[Fawkes]

NYC Metro Area is over 20 mil. We're also wonderfully arrogant. And Earth's capital :D

[Devrim]

NYC Metro Area is over 20 mil.

I have just looked up how big that is. It is massive. If you took a similar area around London, I think you would come up with a slightly higher population depending where you draw the lines.


also wonderfully arrogant. And Earth's capital :D

At least you are right on this.

Devrim

[Fawkes]

Yeah, I've never actually even been to London, I'm just being an ass, though I would like to go there. NYC is really great for food though due to the total heterogeneous nature of the population.

[Apoi_Viitor]

I don't know: Milan, Venice, Paris, Vancouver, Barcelona, Ottawa, Montreal, Stockholm, San Francisco, Madrid, Tel-Aviv, Dublin, Beirut, Quebec City

[Jazzratt]

Yeah, I've never actually even been to London, I'm just being an ass, though I would like to go there. NYC is really great for food though due to the total homogenous nature of the population. I'm fairly sure you mean heterogeneous, homogeneous suggests total sameness which wouldn't lead to any food variety at all.


I dont know what i am going to do next year if i come up in UK, i will probably buy some wallpapers of summer to put on the windows:lol: One wall of my room is papered with a picture of a tropical beach. It has yet to warm me, unfortunately.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Over 300 languages are spoken in London and over 40% of London's population is from an 'ethnic minority' group.

Actually my data was outdated. I checked again and supposedly 800 languages are spoken in NY. :D

Anyway, about 40 percent of NY's population is foreign born, but even within it's 44 percent white population there's a large variation, with Italians, Irish, Germans, Russians, Poles, Hungarians, assorted Eastern Europeans etc. all having their own rich histories in the city. I'm not sure if it is the most diverse city or not, but it's certainly in the top 10.

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

Apparently Toronto (that's in Canada folks;)) is the most ethically diverse city in the world.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Doesn't suprise me.

[Fawkes]

I'm fairly sure you mean heterogeneous, homogeneous suggests total sameness which wouldn't lead to any food variety at all.


Ehem, yes, that is what I meant.

[F9]

The point is not to make you/me warm, the point is to not seeing that depressing gray sky and that shitty weather;)
