Sounded good until you mentioned hippies. Amsterdam, along with Barca, NY, SF and so on is a city and that isn't what I'm looking for. Given the political climate the US and North America, Australia, and most of northern Europe are not places I'd choose to live now.

I know what you mean about the US though.....even a small number of gun totin' Bush-supportin' people would do my nut in.
You okay with the non gun totin' Bush supportin' people then? Or the gun totin' not supporting Bush people? I'm sure there's some lovely people and some lovely places in the US but it's not somewhere I'd choose to live now.

The thing is, unless you are one, you're unlikely to meet too many of those in the many parts of the States.
I don't recall meeting a single person who has expressed an admiration for Bush or a liking for guns since I moved here.
I'm living here 
Bristol is in my heart and my soul, it's home, always will be and wherever I go I will always take a little of the Bris away with me and leave a large chunk of my heart there...
If I had to leave - Scottish Highlands or for great cities to have fun in and relax, Melbourne and Cape Town

Nairobi Nairobi Nairobi. Was living there, been back foir 8 days and scheming about returning as soon as possible. It's the best place in the world (apart from the crime rate...) people are amazingly friendly, loved my job, great bars and clubs, bah, can someone lend me the money for a flight??
The first few days in the Philippines completely did my head in but after a couple of weeks i had grown to love the place. I can see myself living in asia at some point in my life.Pugwall7 said:
I've always fancied going to Hawaii too but not to live.
I love somerset though. i feel totally at home here even though i only came here when i was 9 and have moved loads of times since. the countryside is so green and lush here and as soon as i cross the county line i breathe a sigh of relief.

Tee he, you just can't stop. I promise it gets slightly more boring and frustrating after the initial excitement wears off.chico enrico said:

Hmmm... i'd gladly put it to the test . i stayed in edinburgh after leaving school which is ok but i wouldnt stay there again. have lived in london for 6 years which i think, next to tokyo, is the best city in the world. before i first went to tokyo i always thought new york would be next place on the agenda to move to but having been there twice now (second time just to check i hadn't gone to the wrong city by mistake!!) i think it's a dump and boring as fuck. london is a million times better. so, yes, at this point, if there was anywhere i could stay it would be tokyo.

New York is ok but yeah, I think I prefer London. Don't get me wrong Tokyo is great fun but I am a man of simple plesures these days and I know exactly where I want to go when I'm on tokyo which makes it less interesting than it was when I saw if for the first time.
I wouldn't mind living somewhere quiter, I have a soft spot for shimosanakayama in chiba which is only about 30 minutes on the JR to the center. I love the way there is no litter and there is an an eliment of respect for others.

I have chosen to live in Itacare Bahia Brasil, a small rural fishing and surfing village surrounded by Atlantic rain forest and rivers. I think that is it now for me, I love to visit the UK get mashed up with old friends and spend time with my family, but for the rest of the year its Itacare for me.
I have just come back from two weeks in London, which I really enjoyed.
The first things I noticed when I got back here a few days ago were:
The stunning tropical nature, shapes of the plants trees etc so different from the UK.
The Geography; hilly forests, rivers leading to beaches.
And of course the weather.
I feel less constrained and watched here, for example - no CCTV, no speed cameras, being able to (safely) over take a Police car whilst going over the speed limit even in a place the denotes no overtaking - without worrying about the Police stopping me on a principle of law.
The level of uncertainty inherent in everything in Brasil, means that if you are Brasilian or choose to live here – you have to develop a somewhat resilient happy go lucky attitude and self reliance. An uptight European/American would go mad trying to live here as they would at home.

After seeing David Attenborough's climate change doco NZ is looking pretty good. Got my eye on a cheap town near the beach, lakes and hot springs near by, and bit of gang violence to keep the NZ cunt cops busy so they won't nick me weed.
Edit: hmmm, near the beach with rising see levels.
