Share where you think is the best place to live, work, study etc. For now my favourites are Vienna and the Netherlands. I'm totally inlove with Vienna, this country is so amazingly awesome it makes me sad I don't speak German.

and only cause of the really good friends I have there. The setting could always be changed with little impact the characters can't.
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

My favorite place to visit would be England, though it's been a while.

Not sure I'd want to live there, though.  The best place to live is Tucson.  It's paradise.

Austin.

Liberal oasis with plenty of southern hospitality. World's largest urban bat colony. Gay cowboy bars. 6th street. Lots of parks and lakes that make you almost forget you're in the middle of a major city. Kayaking on the river downtown. Local folk hero is a homeless transvestite named Leslie.

I love this place.

Leslie is still wandering?  how old is that guy now?

San Diego is not bad for the weather, if you like 70'F pretty much year-round.  Not that hard to find a job here, either.  Housing is pretty much ok, atmosphere, it's what you make it.  I haven't really  had a city in CA that said YOU MUST LIVE HERE other than Santa Barbara.  But it's $$$ there, so I wouldn't say it's "the best," I just REALLY like it.

I like Lyon, France, too.

Lyon is terrible to travel to and from, though.  Unless you like endless toll roads charging you a small pittance each, but as a group bleeding you dry.  It's no cheaper travelling there by train, either.

St. Thomas.

It combines all the best aspects of a tropical island (great beaches, great weather, hot girls, great beaches) with all of the "best" aspects of a banana republic port city (massive amounts of crime, drugs, corruption, political intrigue, racial tension, and crime), subsidized by America's federal government and using America's currency (which really just adds a whole new sleazy dimension to the corruption and intrigue).

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

I had a Eurail pass at the time, so yeah, my knowledge of that place is sorta limited.  But I LOVED the week I spent there way back when.

Yeah, he's still around. He's in his 60's, I think.

In a similar vein to ECH, I suggested Ciudad del Este.  Second largest city in Paraguay, on the border with Argentina and Brazil, has a sizeable immigrant population from Asia and the Middle East, and is the third largest tax-free commerce zone in the world.  Due to its location and economic importance, it is the site of much corruption and intrigue, with groups as diverse as Hezbollah and the PLA's 2nd Dept having a large presence in the area.

I would like to live abroad sometime while my kiddos are young.  i wonder what some good places for that would be...

wow...  that's a rough 60, cause he looked like late sixties when i was there ten years ago.

the tu-tu doesn't really cover up his age, though, i guess...
