    Also a good choice. I didn't get it in my classification but I rather like it. Bits of it anyway: living in a canalside flat in Utrecht is great, but from the look of things I saw when I got on the wrong train somewhere in the southern area of Amsterdam, not everywhere is so appealing.

      Wot, no Ireland?

      At least the constant rain, 5 euro pints and 25% unemployment are keeping the immigrants out.....

        B) Club Med
        Italy

        Portugal

        C) New World Latin
        Chile
        Ecuador
        Brazil
        Argentina
        Uruguay

        D) The Dominions
        Canada
        Australia
        New Zealand

        I'd live in any of them, but my partner is really keen on only one of them so I guess that's my exit plan fixed.
        Why no love for the argies? I would happily live there.

          It is on the list.

          I'd have it nearer the top though, but like most of South America I'm only choosing to think of the romantic version.
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            And no Iceland either.

            great economies, lots of jobs, I don't know why it's not on the list

              As I said, so would I. But as I said, out of the 14 that I listed, my partner is really only interested in 1. She doesn't necessarily have a problem with the people from the others, she just doesn't want to live there.

                Yeah, but behind Brazil and Chile. Number 1 destination in S America for me, loved it there.

                  Benefits of 204 Euro per week might have something to do with that!

                    Bolivia at number 1 for me. Crossed the border into Chile and immediately felt the cold, snobbish European attitude and the Spanish there is incomprehensible.
