If you had to choose one country to live in for the next ten years, which country would it be? Smile

Nauru

Steiner you have gone off the deep end.

Nauru is a small Pacific island in the North Pacific with a moonscape due to all of the phosphate mining. Phosphate dust is everywhere. When you put your meal on the table it is seasoned with phosphate within seconds.

The island has one 7 mile ring road around its perimiter. This is one desolate island brother.

However, the people drink fosters instead of water because there is no water. It never rains. There is no salt water desalinization.

Maybe it would be right for you?

Ten years!? What a sentence, CG! Shocked

OK-----: Luxembourg. It's close to Paris, London, Brussels and my maiden aunt in Oberpfaffenhaffen, Bavaria. The tax laws are favourable and the sauerkraut delicious. The beer is superb. Oh, I'm sorry, you don't drink, do you? I was going to ask you to come along. Wink

Snakey--yes, I know. My previous post was an attempt at droll, dry humor. But the forum thanks you for your explanation.

I'm one of the three or so non-drinkers on the forum, by the way.

Have you been to Nauru?

Hey, it's Ricky! Wink

Didn't think I'd see another TPB fan on here. What part of Canada are you from, Canuck2112?

I KNEW someone here would recognize Ricky!! Very Happy

I guess they film that show in Nova Scotia, so perhaps you've been unfortunate enough to run into a few Rickys and Bubbles in your travels. A friend of mine from Halifax told me that, in many parts of N.S., that show isn't a far stretch from the truth.

I'm from SW Ontario...we have our trailer park boys too but they're a bit less beligerant Smile

Given my limited experience, I'd choose Japan.

I speak the lanaguage, there are diversions aplenty, I have friends there, saving is a possibility, trips to mainland Asia are easily doable, there's a special tax rate for most EFL teacher types, etc etc.

However, my experence living in - or even visiting - other countries is limited to Canada, USA, Japan, and China.

In the end, I'm not sure where such a place might be.

I guess I must have missed the Ricky show. Confused

So much for my being a teacher of Western. Wink

Steiner - been there - done it - 3 days and I had to escape!

Some men from a far away land tried to outdrink and seduce some local women. At 11:00 a.m. the next morning the locals were still drinking strong while the foreign men has fallen asleep on the floor of the bar around 6:00 a.m.

Even the little kids run around with a Foster's in their little paws er hands.

The women are beautiful under 30 and then the witching hour and they all turn into pumpkins. The men are just born ugly.

It is a dry nasty place. Sort of like living in a strip coal mine.
