I love Germany, it has its problems like everywhere but I have been here since 1981, 1990 as a civilian and still satisfied. Germany with warm weather the whole year round would be fucking hard to beat.

Ive only ever been to Berlin about half a dozen times,I have friends in East Berlin and I like it but just generally like the German way of life.

I think the German education system looks pretty good if you have kids too.

Pembrokshire Coast and in particular St Brides Bay.

 

Briancon - Ride the cols from May to October, a month off then skiiing from December to March. Bliss

 

Skye - I need to spend a lot more time there, a stunning place.

 

Italian Lakes. Somewhere like Stresa on Lake Maggiore would fit the bill perfectly. Bergamo seems to be getting a lot of attention and thats handy for Lake Como and not too far from Aprica and Passo San Marco for the bike riding so will have to investigate.

 

Paris just because its Paris.

 

I reckon I'll finish paying off the mortgage next year then start saving to make one of the above a reality.

Don't move to Australia unless you love the sound of bogans in Commodores doing burnouts at 3 in the morning.

Yeah and "chilled out" Cairns had a horrific murder last week when a "laid back" mum stabbed her six kids to death.

 

 

Sent from my iPhone which pisses over android motherfuckers. Merry Xmas.

The town I live (Carmel, IN) is usually in Forbes' top five places to live in America. This is especially true for families. Great schools. Low crime. Lots of work. Most people are university graduates and lots have postgraduate degrees. The standard of education and average household income is high. The price of property is very low compared to England. For the midwest of America it is very diverse - the elementary school where our kids attend has something like 50 nationalities amongst the kids, mostly due to people coming here to work in engineering, medical or pharmaceutical fields.

 

I don't like the long, cold winters, but you're not all that far away from warmer climes if you head south. Indianapolis is on the doorstep and that is a decent sized city, about tenth or so in America.

I took my wife to Liverpool last year, her first time in the city and she isn't biased by what goes on in L4, she couldn't believe how friendly people were and we as we stood and looked across the Mersey after a visit to The Beatles museum she said she would quite happily move there with me. I'd put it in my top 5, no problem.

I'd put where I live now in my top places to live ignoring the tourists Bournemouth And the surrounding area is a lovely place to live. For me although I have traveled a bit I woundnt particularly move to any of them in no particular order;

 

Bournemouth ( ideally in a nicer area like branksome park - although if need a shed load more cash)

 

Barbados (my favourite holiday with a chilled way of life, good food and people)

 

New York (impossible to get bored as with others it would have to be Manhattan)

 

Along the Dalmatian coast.

Its not ace. It would be ace if it had got stuck in the 70's and retained the music, clothes and movies. Unfortunately all they retained of the 70's was bigotry and xenophobia.

 

Nah, its not all that bad. Its just fucking dull. It used to be a massive tourist destination up until the 70's when international flight started getting cheap. Local government did fuck all to counter the exodus of tourism to sunnier climes, choosing instead to concentrate on the finance sector with low tax and good incentives etc. Looks like thats on the slide too now though, so they'll all be back to fishing and spud farming. Probably.

 

Makes me glad I now live in New Zealand. If I went any further away from the Isle of Man, I'd be on my way back.

 

If you don't mind me asking General, what do you do and how was the emigration process to NZ?

 

Me and the missus are thinking about possible emigration to NZ in the next couple of years as we this place go down the pit. Also have our little 'un to think of and her future.

yeah i love deutschland too, but the gold coast in aussie beats em' all for me, steady temperature summer and winter usually between 24/30 degs.,loads of bikini babes all year round, and ale selections from all over the world with english style theme pubs, talk about home from home, best curried prawns ever, then there's Jupiters casino which is a world in itself, too many attractions to mention, hoo roo.

My missus is from New Zealand (we met while she was working in the UK), so I got in on the strength of that. I don't have any special qualifications, so I wouldn't know about qualifying points or what skills you would need to get in. What I will say is that it took about 5 months after arriving here to get a work permit, Had to be here for two years to apply for residency, and then the residency application took about 8 months in all. I qualify for citizenship now, I think thats a fairly quick process, just need to do the paperwork, sing the national anthem and shell out another 500 bucks. Our boy will get dual nationality straight away as he was born here, lucky sod.

 

The NZ immigration site is here if you want to have a gander. All the best mate.
