You must move to a country that borders your own, forever - which do you pick? Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NEXT | |
Well, I'm in Scotland now, so obviously England is totally out of the question :P. Probably France...there are other countries nearby but if I had to spend the rest of my life in one, I suppose I'd be better off picking one I had been to before at some point... | |
Mexico should be nice, but it so isn't. I guess I'd opt for Toronto, home of the brilliant and amazing performer known as Tonetta. | |
As a German who loves skiing and doesn't speak french, Austria is the only option. Switzerland just doesn't appeal to me very much. Damn, now I wanna go skiing again... | |
I'm a Texan and I've already moved to a foreign country by going to an out of state college. But if you want to get picky I'd move to Canada. Probably British Columbia. I hear you can smoke "green tobacco" there legally. I've never tried it but like Chef from South Park said "There's a time and place for everything and it's called 'college'". But don't expect me to show up on 'Girls Gone Wild'. I've got too much self respect for that! Sorry guys. | |
Living in Wales there's only one choice. France. Clearly. Somewhere in the South of France where you can actually see the sun and don't get wet all the time There would be nice rich rugby teams to watch some classy players play for/against. Also Disneyland Paris would be cheaper to get to, sure it may be the poor cousin Disney Park that hasn't had any new clothes or toys for a while, but it still has proper Pirates of the Caribbean ride (i.e. without the Captain Jack hideousness added to it) and that's enough for me. | |
Probably Toronto. I've been there before and enjoyed what I saw. | |
Wellington, New Zealand (from Australia) for me. Sure, it'll mean I'll probably be trapped in an earthquake at some point, but it beats the hell out of Indonesia. | |
Well, I've got a choice between Canada or Mexico. Canada. | |
Well, Ukraine is fucked, isn't it? We border like 15 of those, being a European country and all, but every single one of those is either incredibly poor (Belarus, Moldova, Georgia), terribly boring (Poland, Hungary, Slovakia), or Russia. In fact, I'm moving to St Petersburg for a few years when I've graduated, but live there my whole life? Oh dog. Am I at least allowed to go on holidays? Also, why do all of you Americans pick Canada over Mexico? I'd much rather live somewhere not terribly boring and annoying-accent infested. | |
Moving from Japan, It's a toss-up between South Korea and China (North Korea and Russia are right out). I have the job skills for a comfy life in either one, but China seems like it has more opportunity. The toxic fog and gov't censorship are a problem, though. SK just seems a little too insular. | |
As a Belgian, I'm fairly spoiled for choice. But since I can't speak German, I don't like speaking French and Luxembourg has a very weird language that makes no sense it would have to be the Netherlands. | |
I'm in Germany, and I'd go to Austria, because there's be no language barrier, and because Vienna rocks! | |
:/ | |
Your conception of Mexico is whats terribly poor. On a side note, not in 1 million years ill go live USA , i live in Mexico. Sorry dudes your country has the highest violence in all the continent, i dont feel like being shot point blank, killed by a sociopath serial killer, bullied by whatever clan has against my white skin and spanish native o r simply cuz im mexican, or get my kids killed in a school massacre cuz a kid decided he needed to shoot people. Or have 40 mortgages on my house to have the "appearance" to the neighbors im doing good. | |
I know I'm in America, but screw you guys, I'm moving to Japan. | |
I'd go to Mexico. Canada would be safer and offer better health care... but it's fucking cold up there and their Mexican food is probably shit compared to the actual Mexico. Besides, it's not like I couldn't get smuggled back into the USA somehow (oooooh!) | |
Seeing as I'm from Argentina and it's pretty much a photocopy of our country down to it's core... | |
As a Polishman (Pole, whatever, sounds stupid anyway) I can confirm that my country is, indeed, incredibly boring. And the weather is terrible. Food's good, though. OT: Well, the only logical place to run is Germany. In other countries I would either die of boredom, a bullet to the head, or starvation. | |
I really really don't want to move to Finland or Norway, like ever. I think I'd pick Germany or Denmark, since the borders in the sea should count too. Denmark might not be that bad, but I think I could love Germany, since they make great music at least. Rammstein, Oomph etc. I'd pick Germany, pretty easy choice. | |
Living in Estonia my options are: Russia Sweden here I come! | |
Norway, therer's no other option. Being freed of the oppressive EU is like a dream, Norway has a strong economy, beautiful nature, and I can understand the language (for most of the time). Piss of Sweden, Norway here I come. | |
Canada. Its the more Liberal America. Being Liberal I figure I would love it. | |
Since it is within a morning's walk to the border, the cold doesn't bother me and some relatives live there, I'm going to Canada! Is anyone else annoyed when they say "I'm from New York" and people assume New York City (statistically wrong)? Also, "upstate" is not anything north of NYC & Long Island and is certainly not Binghamton, NY! | |
The UK has 3 countries that it officially borders on lands, but lots more countries if you include the British Antarctic territory. Land borders excluding Antarctic territory: Land borders of the Antarctic territory: Out of these, I would probably pick New Zealand. | |
Canada. But what if you live in the Vatican? | |
I'm surprised the first Canadian poster referenced St-Pierre and Miquelon, and a little bit impressed. I mean, if you're only allowed to pick countries with which your country shares a contiguous border, than yeah, I'd be stuck with picking the U.S., but if you can pick countries that are only a stone's throw away across the water, then France it is! | |
Living in Finland, I have a choice between Sweden, Norway and Russia. I'll add Estonia by the sea. I guess it comes down between Norway and Estonia. I think I'll pick Estonia since I like Tallinn. OTOH Norway is rich. Can't make up my mind. | |
I choose Norway, It's like Sweden but with more oil. but Denmark and Finland are also good options. | |
Well, Canada actually borders France, St. Pierre de Miquelon, so... Frenchward ho! | |
From Canada. I'd happily go to the US. Ridiculous portions of cheap delicious food and jobs that pay decently? SOLD! | |
I would choose Denmark. Yes, I can do that. (Hans Island) | |
I suppose New Zealand is the only logical option. I'd be forced to learn new language(s) in all the other countries and I don't think their standard of living is quite what I'm used to. But then again I'd have to tolerate an extreme amount of (friendly) insults and banter from Australia's Sheep Loving little brother. But then again France could be nice...yes Australia technically borders France. Much in the same way Canada does. New Caledonia is a territory of France is off the East coast of Australia. | |
As a New Zealander...Australia I guess even if it means I have to associate with all those filthily convicts ;P. | |
Probably back to the Motherland, Wales. Somewhere by the coast. Also, this thread really has brought out the racist dick in a lot of people... | |

To Canada I go! I'll probably move to Vancouver, because at least there I will get mauled by a bear rather than a French-Canadian Hobo--I'll spare you the details by just saying Quebec am I right?--and it's nice and forested.
