I always wanted to move to Portland, and I made it happen. Now I get to live in one of America's finest cities.

That being said, if I had to move again, and could move wherever, I'd move to any one of these French cities: Grenoble, Lyon, Avignon, Toulouse, and Bordeaux. But not Paris-the city's just too goddamn big. In Canada I'd move to Vancouver or Montreal, and if I had to choose a city in the US Midwest, I'd choose either Madison, WI or St. Louis, MO. I'd also live in England if I could afford it.

where did you move from?, was it hard, is portland an exspensive place to live?

Germany. Almost anywhere in Germany. I love the Cologne region, Frankfurt, Munich. I'd even be happy living not in those big cities, but in some small German village or town in those areas.

Or Belgium or Switzerland.

Here in the states, I'm not so sure--possibly Virginia, the Hampton Roads area, or Williamsburg.

Maybe Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Possibly Minneapolis.

I think Madison, Wisc., is all right, too.

[Iowa City is THE only decent place to live in Iowa, by the way.]

I would like to either live somewhere that was always warm, like a small town in mid-Mexico, or somewhere that was always cold, like Nova Scotia or something. I'm a very mood-oriented person, and I like the idea of a place having a sort of constant mood.

dont come to england then!

Paris. Nowhere else.

[gmku]

In any case, I'd have to do some research first--find out if there are any record/CD stores in the area, what the local music and arts scene is like, local brews, nearest Hot Topic store, and that kind of thing. The priorities, you know?

Yep for a couple of days. Everything was just so cool, I can't even explain it. It's a hell of alot better than Nice.

Wining and dining in Paris is great, but are the record stores any good? That's the real question.

The record stores were ok.. I didn't get to go in that many. I did the touristy stuff cause I only had like 2 days there.

i dobt tokyo is the most expensive place in the world, im constantly broke here but thats because i dont work very much. so it does seem kind of xpensive to me.... but its all the things you dont bank on being expensive. food is pretty cheap, booze is a bit more pricey than england. fags are cheap, travelling round the country is very expensive.
nyc is my favorite place ive spent any real amount of time in so far, i always feel right at home there.
birmingham sucks.
id love to go to vietnam-ho chi min city and a little bit of time in hanoi. i plan on living in london next year. id like to go to morocco, turkey, india---glasgow! id also really like to go deep into some tribe in africa or south america.
brazil, mexico, new orleans. italy, spain ..... paris.
berlin always makes me wanna spend more time there but i have something against the german language (sorry to any germans--i cant help it, maybe my own ignorance or whatever but i just cant hack it)
korea....south to live for a bit and north would be interesting to visit for a few days maybe.
i have no intrest in canada and australia though.

can never get settled anywhere so far.

in the words of brian potter....
"the world's your lobster."

No its not. Rain 68% of the time, 22% is crappy clammy weather and 10% is nice ok weather. That's all you need to know.

[screamingskull]

I'd also like to try living in a commune in california or somewhere in america for a few years. that would be a fantastic 'life experience'.

[static-harmony]

New York, London, San Francisco, and Spain.

[jon boy]

i always wanted to live in berlin, so i did it and i am here now. now i want to live somewhere else and settle there for a while maybe LA or america somewhere. my life for the last few years has been quite hectic and i havnt really settled anywhere.

Maybe Siberia, near Lake Baikal.

Otherwise, Manchester quite appeals to me. Not very cold, but at least it rains and it's a nice place.

Manchester!?

It is such a dreary example of bad 1960s architecture.
