Dubai, Puerto Banos, Monaco, Buenos Aires, Ankara, Sydney, Kuala Lumpur.

Out of the above, most realistic is Dubai. We've got sprawling family businesses and my grandpa has a few residential properties. With an American education and good english-speaking skills it would be easy to get a job and then work toward a masters in finance from American University Dubai.

I never want to leave Southern California forever though, never ever. I love where I live and I love the US, and there's no way I'd consider turning into some piece of ***** sellout coward who runs away if the president isn't perfectly aligned with his political views.

eritrea? now that's really lowering the bar.

Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I want to be
Pony trekking or camping
Or just watching TV
Finland, Finland, Finland
It's the country for me

You're so near to Russia
So far from Japan
Quite a long way from Cairo
Lots of miles from Vietnam

Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I want to be
Eating breakfast or dinner
Or snack lunch in the hall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all

You're so sadly neglected
And often ignored
A poor second to Belgium
When going abroad

Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I quite want to be
Your mountains so lofty
Your treetops so tall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all

Finland, Finland, Finland
The country where I quite want to be
Your mountains so lofty
Your treetops so tall
Finland, Finland, Finland
Finland has it all

Finland has it all


Or I could just go back to Florence, the Cotswolds, or my family roots in Switzerland.

During a long & varied working life, I have had the good fortune to live abroad a number of times, usually for a year or two. Really makes one appreciate the more subtle qualities of our freedom and democracy here in the good old USA.

Have made a home in Singapore, Brasil, Chile, Canada, and spent much time working between Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, and Germany, Ireland and the UK, if I were to go anywhere to live out of here (which I surely won't for a LOT of reasons) I would try very hard to ensconse myself in the wine country of central Chile, hopefully within 100 miles or so of Santiago. Best kept secret place on earth, that I have found.

"I never want to leave Southern California forever though, never ever."

- Calif. would be great if it had about 30 million fewer people. Especially if I can pick the ones to get rid of.

I was born and raised in the Philippines, very true of what you said...:)

Yup. Friend of mine retired to Bagiuo. Cool. In the mountains. Some nice Spanish colonial architecture. Bought a nice house, and now claims he has trouble spending more than $1000.- per month.

:) yes, bagiuo is nice, we visited the PI couple of years ago after 23 years in Ca. could not recognize anyting, and went to Bagiuo a bit crowded...

But then you have to learn to speak spanish.

twenty five women that looks like Imelda Marcos is no paradise. Think about all the shoes you will have to buy.
