If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you go?

MothBalls · 10-02-09, 03:21 PM

If you had the opportunity and the means to do it, where would you live?

I'm not talking about vacation spots. Not some little island in the Bahamas to retire on. But seriously, where would you relocate to and why? Would you stay where you are?

Dowly · 10-02-09, 03:22 PM

I would stay where I am. Love it here.

Kapitan · 10-02-09, 03:38 PM

i would move to fair banksjust so i could drive the dalton highway in the winter season and be an ice road trucker.

GoldenRivet · 10-02-09, 03:42 PM

I would buy a piper cub

and a Stearman

throw in a custom log home

and a nice hangar

And i would put them all on a private grass strip surrounded by wooded acreage

located in the piny woods of East Texas about 20-30 minutes drive in any direction to the nearest sign of civilization.

why?

It would only be my family, my dog, myself, a few howling coyotes and a million stars every night.

No traffic, no noise, no nosy neighbors, no headaches that i didnt create for myself.

I reckon this place would do nicely:

Dowly's. I hear he loves it where he is.

Sledgehammer427 · 10-02-09, 04:09 PM

I dunno why, but I always see myself living in one of those monotone apartments in New York City, with floor to ceiling glass windows....and drapes

But If I got the chance to I'd live life out like a mountain man, living in a cottage in northeastern U.S. with nothing but a muzzle-loader, bowie knife, and a trusty German Shepard

I know where I'd like people to go straight to.

Either some place in Bavaria, in the green, a small farm or blockhouse with nearby forests and meadows and mountains and as few people around as possible, or, more likely nowadays, a "Ganghaus" in my beloved Lübeck - no way to live "gemütlicher" than there.

The tourism bureau advertises with the fact that in Lübeck there is more historic buildings and historic architecture from the 13th-15th century than in all other old cities in Northern Germany alltogether. That's for me, since modern city design and modern architecture is not my thing. The so-called Gänge (corridors) are very typical for Lübeck. These corridors are tight and narrow and branch off from the main streets, where they break through the house fronts in often extremely small, tight, low gates. The Ganghäuser ("Corridor houses") houses are very small, often consist of only one room per floor, meaning they are essentially two or three rooms put one over the other. By description this may sound terrible, but if you have seen these places from inside and lived there (I have spend christmas holidays in several different ones), you know how gemütlich they are. Plus the charming old town of Lübeck, finding a perfect balance between old houses and modern city life in the centre of the old town, plenty of harbour pubs and bistros, the old town is an island, adding to the somewhat isolationist, protected character of the place. That's what i call living quality.

There are also bigger houses, of course, and villas in more modern parts of the city around the oldtown, in very idyllic places at the two rivers embracing the old town. When I was a small boy, we lived there for several years.

Christmas night in the oldtown is something you would not forget, in a very narrow place there are five churches with seven towers, all of them equippped with extremely well-sounding bells, let the air vibrate in all the oldtown, when you walk at night while the bells are ringing, you feel the sound giving a gentle massage to all your body, filling your inside with a sound as if made of accustic gold. I still spend christmas with my parents there, occasionally.

Vermont or NH always seemed nice. I would like to visit Maine, I hear that is a beautiful state.

I want to live where there are mountains, lakes, trees, and few people.

antikristuseke · 10-02-09, 05:06 PM

Right here, except I would have a racing circuit and a drag strip built nearby.

SgtPotato · 10-02-09, 06:18 PM

Any place that are safe from zombies, I will live there.

Task Force · 10-02-09, 06:26 PM
