If you were to live in another country, what would it be?

And why?

This isn't for vacationing for the rest of your life; I mean this to be a situation in which you would be living in real life. Now, as to whether that means raising a family, preaching, working, or something else, I'll let you decide.
 
Blah! Would a mod please adjust the title to compensate for my typo error? Please insert the word "you" as you feel necessary.

Thank you.
 
America. I miss it. ;)

Actually, I wouldn't mind living in Okinawa again. Great place for a family. Very safe.
 
Someone would have to shanghai me to move me out of the States. If they were successful in doing so I would want to be taken to one of the British Virgin Islands so I can become a boat person and slip back into the country.
 
Okay, a serious answer. Australia. If I couldn't live here that is where I would live.

Are you kidding? New Zealand has much more scenery and has the All Blacks. One of your country men told me that NZ has the best of the world's best scenery jammed packed into one Island (she was talking about the South Island which is the most beautiful NZ Island)

:p
 
I would live in the United States. I would then be able to join the military there. If not in the military then I should go somewhere with more social welfare like the UK or Europe.
 
If I could LIVE there and live there PEACEFULLY I would choose Saudi, Brunei or the hidden kingdom of Bhutan. But access is sort of a problem right now.....

I would love to vacation in New Zealand, Ausralia and back in the US.

My number one choice right now is the beautiful country of Indonesia.
 
I have a found spot in my heart for Scotland but I wouldn't look good in a kilt.
 
Even with the problems we have I'd choose to stay in the USA. But if I had to choose another country these would be some possibilities: Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, I suppose anywhere in the UK...maybe a few others.

My problem is this: I want to benefits of a city while living in an isolated area. Hard to pull off.
 
I've lived in many places across the world. Some have been the most beautiful geographically (Hawaii) and others have been the most heinous geographically (Ft. Polk, LA). And what I've discovered is that the best place to live is not the beauty of the geography, but the relationships you have developed. My choice to live is where I am surrounded with all my friends and family.
 
Despite their political climate, I'd probably choose Canada since I'd still work in the US potentially. If that's equivocating then I'd probably choose a British Isle for the language factor. This all assumes I could find a compatible church, of course.
 
We would move to China. We adopted our daughter from there last year, and we went back for the entire month of March this year to visit an orphanage and begin learning the language.

Our tentative plan is to go back for at least a month every year starting in 2010 (Lord willing). We don't know what God has for us there...we don't have any desire or "burden" to be missionaries in the traditional sense (i.e. church-planting, evangelizing, or the like). But, the desire to help the orphaned children there is too great to deny that it is God's calling for us to do so.
