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 had to leave California and move to a foreign country, it would probably be the midwest section of the USA (I do need a passport for that don't I?).

I have a found spot in my heart for Scotland but I wouldn't look good in a kilt.
I would like to know what Geneva is like before I make my final call.

Geneva is a historian's paradise, full of rich Reformation history. The Calvin stuff alone could keep you busy. It is also situated on one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Unlike Basel, however, it is VERY French and quite expensive. The sticker shock compared to Basel and Bavaria was pretty stiff a few years back when I was there.

Is that not paradise on earth?

An Introduction to My Work by Simone Buob
Hello, my name is Simone Buob. I would like to introduce myself to you and tell you about my work at GPTS. I was born and raised in the German speaking part of Switzerland and lived there pretty much all my life.
The question that I am asked the most is, “Why did you come to to Greenville, SC?” To answer that question, I need to reach a little bit further back in time. I attended a teacher’s training college in Switzerland. The training lasted six years. The fifth year was set aside for different internships. My fourth internship brought me, in the spring of 2001, to a sheep and pig farm near Christchurch, New Zealand. The farmers there, Paul and Sally Davey, were used by God to introduce me to his mighty word. After having spent 3 months with daily Bible readings and long evening discussions, it was hard to return to a country like Switzerland, which is completely deserted when it comes to the Reformed Faith. Presbyterian churches are unknown; Zwingli and Calvin have been forgotten.
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.

In all honesty, I don't know where I would want to live. No matter where we would choose to live in the world there are problems.
I wouldn't want to live under Muslim rule, and I wouldn't want a Socialist/Marxist government, even though that is the direction America seems to be going these days..
Maybe Antarctica, granted it is one of the coldest places on earth, but with the 'global warming' it is supposed to be heating up pretty fast causing the ice to melt and things to warm up..
There would be no new language to learn, unless I could learn to speak penguin or polar bear, and I could build a green house to help grow some veggies to eat..
Why don't the polar bears eat the penguins?
Penguins are poisonous.
The reason they don't is because polar bears and penguins live a long distance apart. Polar bears live in Arctic regions of North America, Europe and Asia, whereas penguins live in the southern hemisphere. Some books imply that all penguins live in Antarctica. This is not true - in fact, only two species (the Adelie and emperor penguins) breed on Antarctica. Several species of penguins live around South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand and the Galapagos penguins live on the Galapgos islands (surprise!), which are on the equator. This is still a long way from the Arctic.
The problem about polar bears and penguins relates to many Christmas cards etc, which show polar animals living together, when, in fact, they don't.

hmmm..the true answer is..
