If you were going to emigrate, where would you go?

Lucky bastard, I went to Boston and Cape Cod some years ago, loved every minute there

 

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it too. Going to be living in New Hampshire but probably commuting to work in Boston or Portland.

Melbourne always stands out even though I've not been anywhere near there. I almost annually look at jobs over there etc, usually during the Big Bash or the Christmas tests but then fades away again.

 

I'd live in Florida too.

New Zealand, so beautiful and peaceful.

Loved every minute I spent there.

Tried southern Italy, had the house and olive grove. Used to spend two solid months there every summer for 5 years with the expectation of one day staying there. The bastard place eventually ground us down, though it's a beautiful place it's still in the dark ages with pretty much everything.

I didn't realise how much how much I took the simple things for granted, I'd never want to move permanently now anywhere.

That's Italy for you mate.

I've got a very good friend in Portland. Are you single?!!

Hahaha, afraid not. Indeed, going from being single to not being so during my time in Korea is the reason I'm heading over there.

I do remember now. I'll still introduce you to Katie, she is very nice.

If friends weren't a factor, Hong Kong. Given I've got friends in Tokyo that probably promotes it from close second. If I hadn't dropped out of uni I genuinely think I'd be there now doing a Leicsmac. Alas.

In Europe, probably Bavaria. Great food, best beer, nice people, nice countryside, shit loads of quaint historic towns and Nuremberg are like the Leicester of German football.

Friends come and go. You make new ones and expand horizons.

Off to Australia from January for god knows how long, so there for now! I wouldn't mind living in the States, maybe California.

I start in Melbourne, I'll let you know what it's like :D

Having travelled in my working life I appreciate the UK so probably wouldn't emigrate.

If I did it would be to Mauritius. Tropical island, friendly people, English widely spoken. And the cost of living is lower so the pension goes a bit further.

I could see myself in Thailand or somewhere similar, nice relaxed culture, nice weather and cheap to live.

For the lady boys or ping pong ball shows?

Narh, that's just not who I am. I'm not extroverted enough to want to keep making new friends.

I like having a small circle of friends and I'm fiercely loyal to those people I let in.

I've a small handful of friends that I pretty much consider the family I never really had, as corny as that may be to some people, and one of the closest of those is now in Tokyo.

I've got a good core of friends that I barely need to keep in touch with. They've helped me out, and I'd help them out, no questions asked.

But it is tough starting over in new places.

Oh for sure. But I didn't mean "I wouldn't move to Hong Kong because I don't know anyone there" more "as a city I narrowly prefer Hong Kong to Tokyo but my friends in Tokyo just swing it."
