Where would you like to live?

[Midori]

I'd like to move to Belarus, or maybe Ukraine.

[StonyArabia]

Canada same place as here lol.

[Corvus]

Scandinavia in the countryside with a lot of money at my disposal to afford the high living maintenance costs.

[dralos]

i'm good here,love it

[Virtuous]

Alaska, alone in the forest in a wooden hut, just nature and me.

[Aces High]

Strange you should ask that.

On the Norfolk broads in a narrowboat.

[Siberyak]

Anywhere away from my mud race infested city.

[Contra Mundum]

Would like to move every few years. Staying in the same place gets boring.

[Lithium]

Northern Scotland or Iceland but I would not become an immigrant.

[ficuscarica]

I like it here. I only would like all the people from other parts of Germany and abroad to leave, because it is becoming over-crowded and our beautiful nature is destroyed. It would be perfect without all those people coming... I just hope it will stop somehow.

Countryside in Middle Sweden, Tuscany or Atlantic Ocean in Portugal would be nice, too.

[PetiteParisienne]

Hubby and I plan to move back to Edinburgh in a few years. It's our favourite city in the world, and he's part Scottish.

Good choice, if you like han chinese and south koreans. :D

[GeistFaust]

I might like to live in an area which might see a lot of big tropical storms and hurricanes, so I can do some storm chasing on frequent occasions. On the other hand I think I would find it tiring to live in a place like the Bahamas, Florida, or an island in the Caribbean for that long.

I think I would prefer to live on an island somewhere in the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, or near Russia. In a place with a cold, snowy/wet, and dreary area where only a few people live, and everything has a distant air about it.


I think the Faroe and Orkney Islands sound like a pleasant place to be, and the climate of those areas seem nice. In America in general I don't think there are many places I ideally want to live in, because its all become rather matter of fact.

[ficuscarica]

Good choice, if you like han chinese and south koreans. :D Of course I would want to live on a farm, as far away from civilization as possible. And I prefer Koreans over Turks any day.

[Albion]

Strange you should ask that.

On the Norfolk broads in a narrowboat.

Nice idea. :thumb001:

In the England I'd choose either the Isles of Scilly, Lundy, the Lake District or Western Shropshire.
Abroad I'd probably go somewhere in France (Normandy, Picardy, Loire-Atlantique or Alsace), or to Southern Germany (Baden-Wurtembourg, Bavaria) or Central Portugal somewhere.

http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8471/mapl.gif

I'd like to own a nice country house with an acre or two of land. In Southern Germany or the Lake District there'd be great places to see. In rural France or Portugal there'd be the relaxing, laid-back countryside in summer. In Scilly or Lundy they're small, quiet islands.

[Heart of Oak]

I guess I'm happy where I am, maybe a couple of streets over, so I'd have less noice from the night clubs at night.

[Leliana]

The place where I live is perfect. We have a great climate with nice summers and cold, snowy winters, we have lakes, we have forests, we have wide plains, we have developed cities and advanced infrastructure, we have nearby imposing mountains, rich culture and we have lots of smaller and larger rivers.

'Gott hatt die Welt nur einmal geküsst, genau an dieser Stelle wo jetzt Deutschland ist'. :cool:


If we would have a climate like Florida Keys or Boracay or El Nido in the Philippines I wouldn't want to move, man, except for maybe working abroad temporarily as an expat and seeing some new sights.
:eek: 80% to 90% of our people would die a wretched death in such unbearable hot and sticky climate! It might be that it's nice for vacations but 12 months a year? Seriously? :1099:

[Mraz]

Somewhere where it's Sunny all the year long, of course no Africa and no warzone.
Belgium is a nice place, but sometimes the weather is really depressive.

[Albion]

Yeah, like Leliana said - I suppose my area is quite nice too.
We have the Pennines to the east, Wales and the coast to the west, Manchester is a nearby city and there are plains, forests, moors, hills, caves and a nice history and heritage to the area. There are historic towns and villages with ver old buildings, busy areas and isolated areas away from people.

I'd like to live out of town though in one of the villages. As a kid I spent the summers in the villages at the lakes, rivers and in the woods building dens with my mates. It's a great environment that cannot be emulate in towns.
Whenever I have a family I'd prefer the kids to do that than grow up to be another pokemon generation.

[Stefan]

A not-so-large city in the Mid-Atlantic states (http://www.enchantedlearning.com/usa/statesbw/midatlantic/midatlanticbw.GIF) of the United States, but with close access to larger cities, an hour or two drive at most. That way I can live away from huge populations of non-European-descendants, yet still take advantage of the resources a large city would have to offer, if I must.

I wouldn't mind living in other places for a few years at a time, but only temporarily.

[Foxy]

I am ok where I am now. In VENETO! In the region the villas, of the elegance, of the art, of the history, of the fine wine and of the good cuisine.

[Coriolanus]

I would love to live in either the midwestern or the New England regions of the United States, or Atlantic Canada.

[Horseman]

I live in western Poland and I'm not going to move anywhere, though I have such opportunities. Do not dream about the palm trees and warm seas. I prefer that summer was the summer and the winter was winter. I prefer the Polish countryside and Polish food (on average, much better than in Western Europe). When I retired I probably will move to the countryside, but not more than 30 km from the town where I live.

[Hilda]

Switzerland then? I know how you feel, I'm worried that three towns around here will expand towards each other and become one horrible, huge monstrosity in the next few decades. :(

To the North is empty farmland though and it's a very nice part of the world, to the west there's not much neither and to the east there are high hills and moors. There's still places to escape to, they're just getting further out of town.
Personally I'd be happy in one of the little villages to the north, they're so quiet and laid back and the landscape is very beautiful.

Albion, Switzerland? It is even worse in terms of overpopulation, at least outside the mountains. The situation where you live sounds very similar to mine.

Similar to the northern villages you described there are some areas not too far away from where I live, that are hardly populated and have great landscape and are quite similar to my village...
For instance there are some areas in South-Eastern Palatinate that are hardly populated and only about 30mins away from where I live.

You have a beautiful homeland Ficus. When I need peace and quiet I just head out of town. There's a little village to the south where my family and the two other families we're closest related to owned most of it.
It's quite unremarkable but it's just very tranquil and quiet and has a lovely atmosphere to it. I'd want to live there.

Then to the North there's another little village, again with a distant relative of mine living there. It's in the the Pennines and always much cooler than here but has some great nature - lakes, streams, woods, cliffs and the place is alive with wildlife in summer.

I thought you lived in a nice village anyway?

Yeah, boats are good but I don't think I could ever afford a massive yacht, more like some trailer sailer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_sailer) to use on weekends.
Living on a boat would be nice for a while but unless I decided to take it around the Med, British Isles or around the world it'd probably get boring sitting in port all the time.

In two maritime counties of England (Devon and Cornwall) the people used to farm in summer and then take to the seas to fish in the winter. Their lives were split between these two seasonal occupations.
Some of them went as far as the Grand Banks and most of Newfoundland still has familial ties to South West England and Cork in Ireland.

That sounds better to me, quite a few people actually have boats around here and sail on weekends I've noticed.

It's not a question of putting a finger in our wound. Many Italian soldiers have died for that piece of soil. Why should we ignore the deaths of our soliders just to make a favour to Austria that on the contrary occupied Lombardy, Veneto, Triveneto (now Friuli-Venezia-Giulia) and Trentino for 4 centuries more or less? :confused:
What is a province compared to 4 regions?
And just to conclude, the German troops in the XVII century (Lanzichenetti) where so dirty that they brought the plague in Italy and have covered themselves of the worst acts soldiers could do. Add this to the many reasons for which Italy will NEVER give back South Tyrol.

[Foxy]

A random example of what German troops did in Italy:


Famosa anche la calata su Mantova del 1630, quando Ferdinando II inviò nella città virgiliana ben 36.000 lanzichenecchi. Dopo un lunghissimo assedio gli assediati cedettero. Gli imperiali si ritirarono nel 1631 con un bottino immenso, lasciando solo morte e distruzione. Si calcola che tra la peste e le uccisioni circa 130.000 abitanti del Ducato morirono in questo periodo.

TRANSLATION: Ferdinand II sent in 1630 36.000 Landsknechten to occupy the Dukedom of Mantua (a free Italian city). They retired in 1631 with an enormous war chest, leaving only death and destruction. It is estimated that for plague and killings 130.000 inhabitants of the dukedom died in this period (one year).

We Italians, on the contrary, are so good that are feeding South Tyrolers with money until their ears. They should only shut up.

South Tyrol was a native part of Tyrol and Austria, German Tyroleans made up more than 95% of the population in South Tyrol.

And you're talking about your soldiers and how they died for that piece of soil? I'm sorry for bringing bad messages to you but your soldiers were losing the mountain war in 1917/1918! Should I remember you about the battlelines?

Frontline 1915-1917:

Realise that your soldiers lost virtually all mountain territories to the Habsburg Empire and Central powers. Your troops were dozens of kilometers away from South Tyrol when war ended! Literally!

South Tyrol was given to Italy as an unfair armchair decision in the treaty of Saint-Germain. But Italy had no business in South Tyrol! Trentino belongs to Italy, yup affirmative, but South Tyrol is and was no Italian territory and is not Italian if we have a look at the people, culture, language and history. Fascist Mussolini tried to italianize South Tyrol but the pride of the people is still strong. Too strong!

Stop lying about South Tyrol, Detfri! Sincerely, what the fuck!? :stop00010:

What is a province compared to 4 regions?
Everything for the people who live there and who were split from their compatriots by force!

And just to conclude, the German troops in the XVII century (Lanzichenetti) where so dirty that they brought the plague in Italy and have covered themselves of the worst acts soldiers could do. Add this to the many reasons for which Italy will NEVER give back South Tyrol.
Is this a joke, Detfri? Do you try to offset occurrences of previous centuries with the South Tyrol question to have an argument? Wow cool, should I start with the Roman invasion of Germanic and Celtic territories!? http://images.wikia.com/runescape/images/1/1f/Emoticon-Facepalm.gif


We Italians, on the contrary, are so good that are feeding South Tyrolers with money until their ears. They should only shut up.
:lol00001: lol! Quello che ha bisogno di stare zitto voi è!

South Tyrol is a strong economy and the Italian state sucks the region dry. No wonder that South Tyrol cries for more and more autonomy and independence until it's back in Austria and makes Tyrol one and whole.

So what!? The battle didn't take place in South Tyrol but far away in the south near Gardasee/Lago di Garda and more in the east! :stop00010: South Tyrol was safe territory and it was given to Italy on the green table in Saint Germain against all common sense and against all facts of nature.

Our countries lost lots of good man, 'Alpini' and 'Kaiserjäger', but the mountain war was unnecessary. The Italian territories should be Italian and the Austrian-Tyrolean territories should be Austrian, period! The split of Tyrol is a scandal of history and it needs to be addressed!

I've had Pear Cider before, it was quite nice. It's been around as long as Cider made from Apples and when made from Pears is called "Perry", for some reason it was never as common as Apple Cider though. I think that's because Apples have always been slightly easier to grow than Pears in England.

Actually the last two graphics are exactly the opposite: last one after Caporetto, when asburgics conquered all Veneto, and the second one after the great battle of Vittorio Veneto.

South Tyrol was a native part of Tyrol and Austria, German Tyroleans made up more than 95% of the population in South Tyrol.

None is saying they are Italian. South Tyrol is even an autonomous province. I hate when Germans/Austrians speak of the condition of South Tyrol when they actually know nothing about it. :rolleyes2:


And you're talking about your soldiers and how they died for that piece of soil? I'm sorry for bringing bad messages to you but your soldiers were losing the mountain war in 1917/1918! Should I remember you about the battlelines?

Austrians lost 100.000 men in the FINAL BATTLE of Vittorio-Veneto. I was going to reply to you about this but I see that Joseph Capelli was faster. You know the said "You've won a battle but not the war?"... ehm... it's the case.
No matter that Vittorio-Veneto is in Veneto and not in Trentino, the front was there and on that front you lost.




Fascist Mussolini tried to italianize South Tyrol but the pride of the people is still strong. Too strong!


Mussolini, in accordance with Hitler, decided to move all the German families out to South Tyrol, to Austria. The ones who remained in Italy had to italianize themselves. What does it mean? It means only that during Fascism all the foreign words and names were translated in Italian. May I remeber you the difference between the Italian italianization and the German germanization of the slavic peoples in Eastern Europe, i.e. in their native lands? Massive exterminations, deportations to Lagers, and so on...



Everything for the people who live there and who were split from their compatriots by force!

Splitted from their compatriots? WTF?? With the Schengen Treaty they can jump from a side to an other without problems. They still speak German, where is the problem?
Italians had be splitted from their compatriots for centuries and without Schengen Treaties...
The 1st World War was for Italians the last war of reunification, so it is connected with the political situation of Italy before the reunification and with the oppressions and the abuses that Austrians did for centuries to Italians.
Northern Italians still hate Austrians.


Is this a joke, Detfri? Do you try to offset occurrences of previous centuries with the South Tyrol question to have an argument? Wow cool, should I start with the Roman invasion of Germanic and Celtic territories!?

Again, the Roman Empire has no connection with the 1st WW, while the 4 centuries of oppressions of Northern Italy by Austria has. Italians fought for Dalmatia and Istria. This is how Italy should be, + Corsica and Malta.

South Tyrol is a strong economy and the Italian state sucks the region dry.


The state sucks, but it's a fact that the province of Bozen receives a lot of funds as it is a region with speacial status.
If we speak of production btw Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia Romagna are the real motors of Italy.

I agree on this but meanwhile we have South Tyrol, Croats had the time to kill a lot of Italian families in Istria and Dalmatia, to the point that Italian-speakers are today less than the half there were at the begin. Many Italian families came back to Trieste as refugees. That's why Trieste is the Italian city that hates the most slavs. Yesterday I've read that a genius wrote that Trieste is the last Balkan colony in Italy. Yes, sure! :thumbs up

You know what the real problem of this country is: it's so fucking cold. If we would have a climate like Florida Keys or Boracay or El Nido in the Philippines I wouldn't want to move, man, except for maybe working abroad temporarily as an expat and seeing some new sights.

So when every beach becomes like this (with, of course, the typical Dutch golden dunes behind it) I am not going anywhere and just staying put in the Netherlands:

http://www.cheaphotelflight.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/boracay-condotel.jpg

I would then want to move close to the beach and build a house in the more classical Dutch-style but more adapted to the tropical climate (basically how the Dutch build their homes in the West and East Indies was using Dutch architecture as the blueprint but with local materials and adapted to the local climate):

Small country, small population, criminal is not prominent, english and italian speaking population, climate fits to me perfectly, just one minus is (as I heard) is missing of natural springs (water is important to me).

[Leliana]

None is saying they are Italian. South Tyrol is even an autonomous province. I hate when Germans/Austrians speak of the condition of South Tyrol when they actually know nothing about it. :rolleyes2:
Autonomous province is not enough and not acceptable! :stop00010: Everyone in Austria and Tyrol knows it. Go ahead and make a plebiscite in South Tyrol. Italy sent tons of Italians to South Tyrol to colonize the area but there's still a large majority who wants to get away from Rome and back to the rest of Tyrol. Colonization FAIL!

Austrians lost 100.000 men in the FINAL BATTLE of Vittorio-Veneto. I was going to reply to you about this but I see that Joseph Capelli was faster. You know the said "You've won a battle but not the war?"... ehm... it's the case.
No matter that Vittorio-Veneto is in Veneto and not in Trentino, the front was there and on that front you lost.
And what? :suspicious:They were fighting and falling for their country and South Tyrol was no war scene! Italians were fighting and attacking somewhere else. No fucking Italian soldier had his foot on South Tyrolean soil at the end of the war! The area was handed over to Italy in the treaty of Saint Germain by bureaucrats and betrayers of the Entente against all common sense.

Rephrase and listen to my mouth: I'm not talking about Trentino. I'm talking about South Tyrol!

http://www.urlaubsuedtirol.org/images/79.jpg

@Perduellio, that Italy has lost some of her territories like Carnia or Istria is not the problem of Austria! Go solve your problems with the nations who own these areas today. Croatia, France, Slovenia or Switzerland.

Do you want to justify Italian injustice against a group of people with injustice shown against Italy of other people? 'Other nations treat us unfairly so we can treat South Tyrol unfair'ly. WTF!? That's bullshit and immoral! I thought Italians had a better political conscience. :coffee:


Splitted from their compatriots? WTF?? With the Schengen Treaty they can jump from a side to an other without problems. They still speak German, where is the problem?
Italians could think the same about Istria but it's not enough, isn't it? :rolleyes2: A border is a border on a map and you know how it feels, don't you? We feel the same about our territory!

As long as South Tyrol is a political part of the nation of Italy the issue can't be shelved. Period!


The 1st World War was for Italians the last war of reunification, so it is connected with the political situation of Italy before the reunification and with the oppressions and the abuses that Austrians did for centuries to Italians.
Northern Italians still hate Austrians.
Austrians hate Italy for occupying South Tyrol against common sense and against history and blood. Give South Tyrol back and the hate dwindles.

That are true borders of the Austrian nation!

http://s14.directupload.net/images/120528/k3ahrmip.jpg


Italians fought for Dalmatia and Istria. This is how Italy should be, + Corsica and Malta.
Maximum surprise: I'd support your struggle for true Italy, Italy should receive Dalmatia and Istria back but Austria South Tyrol. South Tyrol is no fucking Italian territory and your people have no history there. Get real!

The state sucks, but it's a fact that the province of Bozen receives a lot of funds as it is a region with speacial status.
If we speak of production btw Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia Romagna are the real motors of Italy.

So i spent three years in the blazing sun and eventually it started to make me ill.

Not ill like i was puking up or curled up in a ball but i started to feel like my batteries were running out.........so for a few months i came back to England to rejuvinate,get some rain on my back....which did me a world of good.

Nevertheless, it´s a very beautiful region. Isn´t that where the fjords are? Maybe the nice scenery would make up for the wetness. :)

Yes its very pretty, but most southern people become depressed when they dont get sunshine often...so i would not recommend it for anyone who isnt used to rain like this..and just to put it into perspective, there are annually more rainy days then sunshine days here...but be sure to visit if you get the chance, its best in June, July and August... :thumbs up

The bold...... that I fancy. I always feel best when it is cool and rainy. I loved Tennessee but it gets hot and humid (just sticky feeling) which aggravates my asthmatic condition. I would think that cool and rainy would do similar but I always feel great when it's about 55-60 degrees with light to medium rainfall.

I'd love to live somewhere by the fjords in Norway

There are plenty of cheap houses there and probably allot of job opportunities, but dont expect too much sunshine....lots of rain + high mountains = very little sunshine...the cool thing about the in-fjord villages is that during the summer they become very hot, much hotter then the average Norwegian climate, that combined with high humidity = sticky clothes though...

Ok Germanics, we give you South Tyrol, but we want Istria and Albania.

OK, go and get it then.


I spent three years once in a perpetual summer,i was being sent round the world and by chance wherever i got sent it was summer.
So i spent three years in the blazing sun and eventually it started to make me ill.

Not ill like i was puking up or curled up in a ball but i started to feel like my batteries were running out.........so for a few months i came back to England to rejuvinate,get some rain on my back....which did me a world of good.


Although i soon got pissed off with it.....and headed back to sunnier climbs.

Yes, a hot climate is a drain on the body. The heat basically makes your body wok harder to keep cool when Europeans are adapted to keep warm.

When the air is very moist and it's also hot, what tends to happen is that sweat doesn't evaporate and sticks to the body, raising body temperature. This doesn't happen where I live but it did when I went to vacation in Florida in the summer months. I learned the hard way to dress in thin, light-colored clothing down there. There's a reason everything there is air conditioned.

I can say with confidence that it is not true for my body. I love to work in the heat as long as I have enough water with me. In summer, when I went for walks with friends when the temperature was between 35 and 40, they complained about the heat, whereas I love it to walk around in the sun when it´s 38 degrees and humid. :D July, 39 degrees, high humidity after a thunderstorm, burning sun, walk through the vineyard - Yeah baby!! :cool::D

Give me a big vineyard/orchard, sun and 40 degrees and I become a passionate workaholic.

Duuude... Antalya, Turkey. Or Istanbul, Turkey could be perfect for you. Which i hate their sun and heat(hehe i need cool with overcast). Istanbul's heat could be over 85 fahrenheit / 30 celcius, and Antalya's exceeds 100 F / 40 C .

I like the sun too but I don't think I'm fully adapted for it. I walk and work in it every day and it's just tiring - places where you'd go in our normal 10c weather and not think anything of it suddenly become a massive trek.

It's exhausting when it's too hot but these last few days at around 20c has been just nice. I'd love it at a big orchard too - but not a vineyard in the continent's baking heat.
I work best between 5c and 15c - it's comfortable and if it's slightly chilly it keeps you alert. 30c or more is siesta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siesta) weather. ;) :D

Baden is very wealthy and known for its good climate. We have steady immigration from abroad, but also a lot of immigration from other parts of Germany.
There are people from Germany that emmigrate, but those are usually people from more northern parts of Germany. People in Baden already often complain about the heat/humidity here. I am sure not many of them would want a warmer climate. ;)

Btw, this year I have noticed, that I can´t stand the heat anymore. More than 25 degrees is just annoying, especially because we have almost zero wind and usually high humidity.


To come back to topic. I could imagine to live in a less populated area, because over-population, immigration and over-industrialization are clearly the biggest problem here. My favourite places would be the Hungarian hills north of Lake Balaton, where they have both lovely vineyards and big, wild forests with lots of game to hunt. An alternative also could be the wide wilderness of Central Sweden or Southern New Zealand. Scotland looks nice, too, but I don´t know whether I could tolerate the rainy climate.

But I also could simply move 50km northwestwards to the less densely populated and industrialized agricultural regions of South-Eastern Palatinate.

This cottage in Dornie would do me just fine.

You know what the real problem of this country is: it's so fucking cold. If we would have a climate like Florida Keys or Boracay or El Nido in the Philippines I wouldn't want to move, man, except for maybe working abroad temporarily as an expat and seeing some new sights.

So when every beach becomes like this (with, of course, the typical Dutch golden dunes behind it) I am not going anywhere and just staying put in the Netherlands:

http://www.cheaphotelflight.com/travel/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/boracay-condotel.jpg

I would then want to move close to the beach and build a house in the more classical Dutch-style but more adapted to the tropical climate (basically how the Dutch build their homes in the West and East Indies was using Dutch architecture as the blueprint but with local materials and adapted to the local climate):

Well, the eastern parts of Austria are continental, but still much, much cooler in summer than the southern mediterranean regions. I know you had a heat wave in the last weeks, but the average summer temperatures in some parts of south Europe are about 5 degrees hotter, which means that even the warmest parts of Austria have summers that are much closer to England than for example parts of Andalucia.
And IM´s summers are just like in Bavaria, considerably cooler than in Baden and even Baden is miles away (thank God) from Southern Spain concerning summer temperatures.

I didnt meant that Austria "is too hot for me". I rather meant if i had to move it wouldnt be a southern place because i cant stand the heat. I dont see myself really in the extreme southern medittareanen like southern italy or greece, eventhough those are very beautiful places and they look like in a dream world (the beaches i mean) etc. but its just that i cant stand the extreme heat. not to talk about extra-euro places like africa or india

I can only speak of personal experience and as long as I remember all summers from early June to late Septemerber are like this one. There is one heat wave after the other only interrupted by major thunderstroms which bring maybe 1 or 2 days of sub 30° temp.

Two years ago I have been to London in July (I think I have posted pics already) for one week. I felt so comfortbale because it was very convenient with around 20-25° which is perfect for sightseeing and recuperation. When I returned on Vienna airport it was all the same again with blistering heat and humidity and it became even worse driving towards south. I had to readapt once again. And this conditions remained for a very long time :D

[dralos]

i want to live in bulgaria surrounded by my swarthy brothers:D

[ficuscarica]

Corvus, Villach has about the same average temperature in July/August as Baden, only with more rain, according to the climate diagrammes: a bit more than 20 degrees (average between day and night temperature), compared to 27(!!!) in parts of South Spain and around 17 degrees in London. Both Villach and Baden have summers that are more similar to London than to the hottest regions of Europe.
And yes, I know that these temperatures still can be hot in summer, especially with high humidity.

The Isle of Mann has some nice towns and villages. They should join either England or Scotland though, this semi-independent status afforded to a British Island in the Irish Sea is ridiculous.
IOM is warmed by the Gulf Stream and so has quite mild winters and is fairly sunny through summer. It's fairly rich and well run, a nice place really.
The native Manx are close ethnically to the Scottish and Irish and used to speak a form of Gaelic but now they number only around 30% of the population. Most of the islanders today are English and Scottish.


The Azores are nice too, they're some islands right in the middle of the North Atlantic owned by Portugal. They have quite a stable climate which is temperate throughout most of the year. I must say, I wish they were English. The Portuguese are good though, I'm just a bit jealous, we're stuck with worthless crap holes like Ascension or the Falklands instead. Portugal may have lost a good empire, but at least it's retained two gems in the form of the Azores and Madeira. The Azores are greatly warmed by the Gulf Stream too.
Maybe I'll retire there, it's a poor, relatively unknown region of Europe - it hasn't been spoilt so much by property developers and tourists yet and I hope it stays that way. If England gets ruined then that's where you'll find me sailing off to. ;)

Italy because you have: hot summers, cold winters, foggy autumns and green springs, climatically speaking everything is like it should be.
Some could argue that climate is ok in many parts of the world, but in Italy we have also: high mountains, sweet golden hills and a warm crystaline sea (not one, but 3 seas) and alpine lakes and green woods.
But also: history, castles, strongholds on the picks of mounts and hills.
An other reason: we have a good cuisine, long culinary traditions. Everything you eat is genuine. But also: do you like fashion and events? There is always something in the closest city, a concert, an exhibition, a fair.

When I think to my life in Italy I think to this:

[Tel Errant]

Bandol, Sanary, St Tropez, Cannes, Nice, Antibes, Monaco, Menton...
There's the landscape, the climate, the quality of life, the mediterranean sea calmer and warmer than the atlantic ocean, no bugs, no sharks, Montecarlo's casino, skiing resorts 50km inland, no need to learn foreign languages... I would not like to live anywhere else than the Côte d'Azur.

[Rouxinol]

At the moment in French Polynesia.

Menton is very nice and livable city, indeed!

My ex girlfriend's brother had an house there, very nice city. Not so far from here, btw.

By "Gypos", I assume that you mean Gypsies, IN MONTANA ? Are you out of your effing mind ? Or is there more than one Montana ? The one that Circassian Wine and I are referring to is in the northern United States, adjacent to the Canadian border. It contains the most scenic portion of the Rocky Mountains (except maybe for Colorado) and is otherwise mostly cattle country.

I have travelled extensively throughout the United States during the past 56 years and have yet to see one Gypsy. Actually, they're so rare that I doubt I'd recognise one if I saw one.They're strictly a European problem.


"ALLEGANS CONTRARIA NON EST AVDIENDVS"

I continue to wonder what my country would look like if it had a climate comparable to, let's say, the Florida Keys.

Like an organised version of Bangladesh - flat, tropical but with Dutch functioning infrastructure. :D


I can remember being a 17 year old lad and having to walk to work in knee deep snow. That was in '74.

So yeah the Netherlands were it comes to snow has been quit fortunate the last 30 years or so.

I'm told the same about England but I'm still quite new to this planet so don't know. I always remember winters being rainy as a kid, they've got more snow in recent years.


Fortunate ? I rather have MOUNTAINS of snow instead of the endless fog, overcast skies and rain we are getting now. When there is snow the sky seems to be clearer and the light seems to be less grey (and the view is less depressing).

Yeah, you say that but you'd soon tire of shovelling snow. ;) I think you're just thinking about skating on the rivers in Friesland.

[Albion]

Well.. I always notice that the air is clearer and easier to breath when it has been snowing. But it could be just me.


Give me the snow instead. :thumb001::D

The air is drier in winter, maybe that is why.

Not a bad place at all then. :D:thumb001:. I'll be out on the beach. :D:thumb001:

We have the municipal services for that. It puts them to work and do something useful for all the money that we have to fork over. :thumb001:

[Frigga]

I think that I live in the best place on earth, I don't see myself moving.

[Paluga]

Sometimes I think of moving to Uruguay. Seems like one of the best places outside Europe. It will be defenetly a good escape-place when the 3 world war starts.

[sturmwalkure]

I'd love to live in a European Europe finally liberated from the chains of international Jewry of Capitalism, of NATO, the UN, and the EU. I would love to live in a healthy Volkisch society free of the detrimental elements of the modern world. Free from Democracy, Liberalism, MTV, McDonalds, non-White immigrants, race-mixing and tolerance.

I'd love to live in a perfect society... a Nationalsocialist society. :thumb001: I want to leave America once and for all. I'd love to live in the beautiful world :)

Sorry but then you should stay on America because you shouldn't wish a tyrannical system (same shit as communism) upon the countries of Europe. You can leave your dreams at the door.

I am not going to stay in the US. :D I am going to do whatever I can do to help Hitler's dream come true and the sacrifices of Codreanu and other great martyrs not in vain. Hitler made a lot of mistakes like invading bordering nations and his anti Slavic policies but those mistakes would not reoccur. :)

Bla bla. You're not from around here, sturmwalkure. Let me make it even more clear: you're just another immigrant. Like those Morrocans or other Muslims that want us under Sharia law. You are an immigrant that wants us under tyranny. You're exactly the same as those immigrants and my message to you and them is the same: get lost.

Europe for the Europeans. The Netherlands for the Dutch.

Seriously are you comparing me to them? :eek: If anything relieving the masses of Democracy and Liberalism would be something of a welcome change. I have no desire whatsoever to stay in the United States and I made it clear I want to leave this evil country once and for all. I believe I have a purpose of a higher calling to change the world for the better for our people and what a better place to change but Europe. :thumb001:

By blood I am more European than those Moroccans by the way. I am not saying any 'White' American can be European since I would not want for most of my country men and women to be considered as such. :D But I am someone who has always felt alienated and out of place here in the states.

[The Lawspeaker]

You're exactly the same. 100 percent the same. If you would come here you would just be another f... invader.

You are both not from here. And the message should be exactly the same: get lost !
