Given a choice, other than your own, which country do you like to live in, and why? My answer: Still surfing through the list of countries in the world ... :-)
Either back home to Western Canada or New Zealand.

England. A once charming land which is now just full of sportsware-wearing, shaven-headed, gold-chain clad yobs. People on the street are generally impatient, thick and rude. Often drunk to the point to being a danger to themselves and those around them. A lot of people actually *watch* or even aspire to be on Big Brother. Combine that with a knackered economy and a dire Government and it's the perfect mix. Oh, and two weeks of sunshine a year.

NZ I have all the points I need, the chance to go and a job, then I can be fit and healthy, free from crowds and it is the most peaceful country on Earth. Unfortunately, my wife won't go!

I got little rain, no fog, no snow for my summer holidays there (three times).

Actually, a lot of snow made me change a bit the winter holiday plan and visit the Lake District instead. Another issue was the very short daylight (very long day light is, a big advantage for summer holidays).

Whisky, beer, muffins, fish & chips, Scottish breakfast, I love that all. :)

Thank you for the advice. The link is broken (or the site is down), anyway I think I'll find it [^]. :)

Everywhere. I have no comprehensive reason to choose anywhere but where I am, but I would like to see a bit of the world before I'm bloody 50. I'd probably choose the UK first, the the US.

I've recently looked at Canada but for some reason hadn't thought of NZ. Looks like I've got enough points to express an interest and would have even more once my OU degree is finished. I might have to do that later today. Any country that invents a new extreme sport each week is a place I ought to be living. It's got to be better than living in a "democracy" where almost everyone in the country votes against the government and they see that as a mandate to carry on as they were.

I WILL live in Hungary when I get older; retirement or near. My wife is Magyar and we intend to return there as that is our home now. We are in the UK to work and that is it. The weather is great, food and drink are superb, and my lil house by the lake wonderful.

Italy or China. I speak fluent Italian, and my wife is Chinese, so I won't have a problem with either.
