Re: If you could choose to live in any country what would it be?How is it possible to live in a foreign country? Can anyone do it, or do you need some kind of qualification/reason?
I presume wanting to living in Thailand because it's hotter than the UK is not going to give you a Thai passport any time soon...
I would love to work in the hotel industry in Asia, have no idea how to go about doing this though...Last edited by Isambard Kingdom Brunel; 22-02-2012 at 15:45. -

Depending on the country, they'll let you in freely if you can prove you have a decent amount in your savings (for insurance and stuff) or in the case of a country like the US, you'd need to have a highly-skilled job waiting for you or be
'extraordinary' (i.e a celebrity or a diplomat) -

That I think it is hypocrite to talk about "when we win our freedom it is a great place".
You talk about as if you actually live in Iran, which you don`t. -

Re: If you could choose to live in any country what would it be?Ontario, Canada/ Munich, Germany/ Liverpool, UK (my hometown, where all my family are)
I really love Tokyo but i think it may be too much of a culture shock for myself! and the language is awfully difficult!
I hate London though....NEVER. -

Re: If you could choose to live in any country what would it be?One of the Nordic countries. They all score high in statistics, such as healthcare, and they all seem very wealthy countries (considering their populations). People I know from those countries also seem to be some of the most tolerant people in the world, and devout theism is almost non-existent in the Nordic countries which I also like. Sweden or Finland would be my first choices since I love their languages
But as much as people complain about the UK, when compared to other countries around the world, I'm pretty happy in the UK too I guess.Last edited by Lewk; 22-02-2012 at 17:04. -

Re: If you could choose to live in any country what would it be?There was a scene in top gears Vietnam special where they showed the islands.... They were so amazing, living a carefree life in there sounds absolutely amazing...I'm probably not realising the disadvantages but if there were none, it would be a dream to live somewhere like that... Forget the cities

Re: If you could choose to live in any country what would it be?Sweden is really cool, I prefer Germany because it has bigger cities.(Original post by Lewk)
Wow i just thought it was just me who loved the Nordic countries, looks like I was wrong... but anyway I too would chose to live in the one of the Nordic countries. (Sweden or Finland would be first choice since I love their languages )
I think Germany is one of the best countries in the world - I love Berlin and Munich.
