Where In The World.....

I love living here in Australia. I find it a great place to live. 6 months ago we moved to the country, to a small town. I am finding my feet here slowly, but i love the lifestyle and my kids are going great here. they have a lot more freedom than they had before. It wasnt a big move, only 4 hours, but i like it here. I have never travelled outside Australia, and dont know if i ever will. There is so much to i havent seen in this country that i want to see. But i think if i ever did venture out of Australia i would probably go to England and surronds.

Hello Darkwing. Hubby and I (and our animals too) emigrated to Australia around 12 years ago from the UK. I remember the day when my hubby came home from work and said "how do you feel about living in Australia?" I looked at him and burst into tears and said yes, let's go! We hadn't been to Oz before and we were originally going to settle in Sydney, but that got changed to Melbourne. Man were we disappointed, but having visited Sydney - i'm glad we live in Melbourne! We went on a one way ticket and it's the best thing we ever did, both for ourselves and our animal friends. lol

Hi there , I live in Central Scotland and I love it , I would never dream of living anywhere else , I have brilliant neighbours and my parents and my 2 married sons and their families all live within 5 miles of me , we can have all seasons in the one day but it is really beautiful , and thanks for the backup tonight , It was very much appreciated xx

I'm very much satisfied living here in my country the Philippines. I don't like to migrate to stay in any other country but of course I should like to visit other countries like the USA.

I have lived in London pretty much my whole life, aside from living in Calcutta, India, for 2 years between the ages of 8-10, which I really hated back then. I don't think I've ever seriously considered living anywhere but London as I consider it home and no matter how much I gripe about how much taxes we have to pay, the state of the health service, the fact that so many people waltz into this country and claim unemployment benefit and get free housing when so many pensioners who worked hard all of their lives are struggling on a meagre pension, etc, I still can't think of anywhere else I'd rather live. My parents live very close by to me and I have a good close circle of friends who are always there if I need them and I'm there for them. My husband is happy living here too and neither of us can even consider living elsewhere, although we talk of going on a world tour when we're retired, which we plan to do when we're 50 years old! BUT we will always have our home here in London as a place to come back to as our base home :)

I would like to be in a place where everyone lives in abundance, is happy and satisfied with life. There is no worries, no sorrows, no quarrels and no fights. People do not have to work and slog but there is still room for survival. Is there such a place? Where is this place? it does not matter. It can be in any country, any island or any part of the universe.

I have already made my choice and it is not in my native homeland (Maine, USA). After my retirement from government service I took a job out of Paris being a rep in Spain and Portugal. I had lived in Barcelona and spoke Spanish so naturally I thought I would live in Madrid. However, on my first trip to Portugal I met up with Cascais on the Atlantic Ocean and I fell in love. I chose to live in Portugal. The job did not work out because the Portuguese industries were not prepared for a jump into the computer world...it was just a year and a half after the Carnation Revolution and Portugal was just in the crawling stages to catch up with the rest of the world after so many years of living under a totalitarian government. So I resigned and decided to return to the States...Before I left a Portuguese family extended an invitation to live with them if I ever decided to return to Portugal. After only three months in Maine I took them up on their offer and have been here ever since 29 years. However, I bought my own apartment after selling my house in the states so I am an independent soul once again. Portugal is great...the people are pleasant, the food is great, the climate is good, and Portugal is the door to the rest of Europe and the Orient. The only drawback I have today is the monetary exchange rate...but that is not the fault of the Portuguese. I lose about 35% of my pension. But what the heck....it's only money.

I am quite happy here Darkwing as you know I have settled well here and you know I love it here very much so This is where I want to stay Well I might be on the Move next year again a bit further up lol but I will see

Although I so very often complain about the heat (or more so the humidity) here, I am quite happy to live here. We have everything we need. Having said that, I don't believe it is WHERE you live that is the most important factor. I could be happy living anywhere if that was where I was meant to be and my husband was with me. I would love to have my five sons and their families living closer, but since they are spread in all directions, my moving wouldn't really help. Two are only a four hour drive away, one is a two day drive and the other two are long and very long flights. I'm happy to stay where I am, but I would like to travel the Australian outback and I'd also like to see Scandinavia - and of course I'm planning on a garden party in England!

I have a feeling that going back and living where I was born will be where my roots are. Its just a feeling I have, but it may never happen so I'll just have to let life go on its merry way.

I would still stay here in the Philippines. Eventhough there are so many bad things about our country, I still love it here. The economy is not good, but we can still make ends meet. I like the weather even though our summer time is scorching hot. I love the people here. They are warm and very friendly. There is no place like home.

i like to make tajmahal as my home that was a wonderfull sigth which give us a love feeling and make us to wonder how the building was build in that olden days with out any advanced machines

If i could choose anywhere in the world to live. I would live in Arizona. i was born and raised there. I miss the sunshine. here in Oregon it rains so dang much. I get depressed. I think if i could go back to Arizona I would. I think i would be much healthier there than here. Whats stopping/? not enough money to go. I am trying to save but its not easy. Hopefully i can make it there by fall.

I will stay with my own country. There is no place like home. The culture is very different from other countries. Even though the places are very lovely you need a lot of adjustment to live there. Homesickness will always be your enemy.

Right where I am been here going on 8 years now. Never ever thought about living in another country but would like to visit some like there and Ireland

I don't know much about the world or cities but really I have dreamt about it. I have dreamet about it a lot. I have seen that I want to live in a place where there is peace and more than that friendliness. I want to stay in a place where people don't bother each other but stillcare for each other. People don't get jealous. I know that's not possible and such a place can only be in dreams but if not this no other place is much of any use and no amenities of any help. Ireally want to stay in a plce where people respect each other. Any ways Take Care MAy GOD Bless YOU And I hope someday what I wish for comes out of my dream to reality.

i always wanted to live in the philippines, in the countryside, baguio or tagaytay, as it's cold there most of the times, not as cold as in england though. but sometimes i'm thinking of staying here in england as well. still haven't made up my mind though, hehehe!!

for some 10-15 yrs i can live in u.s though i hv never been to but heard a lot about it. but permanent home i'd like to be in india only.i guess because i am an indian and don't wanna miss the indianness.

What a lovely discussion this was to read. Such wonderful replies. I would have started by saying that I would love to live in Canada. I even asked my husband about it but he was right about us being a long way from our friends and relations. I expect we will stay in Britain although might move to Wales rather than England as my husband was born there. I would like to live more in the country than we do at the moment but it would need to be near facilities now as we grow older. Perhaps I will just have to carry on day-dreaming. My daughter wants to start a horse-riding stables in New Zealand and me to help her!!! Perhaps that may still happen. LOL

i guess itsthe same for most of them.."home sweet home!" i wud luv to stay here permanently...but then raoming around the world for hols is a gud idea..to explorenew places..but nothn siuts u the best...my home country for me! INDIA....
