Where do you wanna live

[katchika]

If you had unlimited money, what country and area of the world would you choose to live in?

I would have several houses, one in London, one in Can Cacoot (countryside near Barcelona), one in Cape Town and one on a Carribean island. Oh, and a yacht <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

Hey, I can dream!

[Dan the Man]

*Dreams*

I would have a flat in Amsterdam <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> , a big house over looking a lake in Canada, maybe another pad in Australia. Chuck in a holiday home in Ibiza as well (and why not!)

Well i went to Canada in sixth year trip, and loved it so probably somewhere there. However i also would like to spend at least some part of my life living in the Mediterranean (spelling?) as i am a sun lover!!!!

[Smash]

Back on a farm in Ireland or one of those poncey high-tech flats just about anywhere really.

[Tashmania]

Mediterranean (spelling?)

Thats the right spelling by the way! Hmmm, where would I want to live???
*room goes fuzzy like it does when TV characters dream* Well I've been to Agra in India (the bit with the Taj Mahal) twice and it is amazing, so one house there. Also I have a dream to own my own island in the Caribbean like Richard Branson, that would just be amazing. Lastly I want a mahoosive (massive in the language of my area of Kent) mansion in Los Angeles!!!

Luv moi

[Whowhere]

I'd like one of those big loft flat conversion thingies. And for all my neighbours to be raging, gorgeous nymphomaniacs.

[ebb]

I'd stay in nottingham <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

Wouldn't mind a place in ibiza in addition <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

[onfire]

4. A very swish apartment at Gunwharf Quays (new shopping / leisure complex, near me) looking out over the harbour

3. A log cabin on the side of a mountain. Preferably a snow-covered one! <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

2. A mansion in Canada somewhere

1. A house like the one I stayed in when I was in Jamaica last year - absolute heaven !

[go_away]

1) Houses in Moscow and St Petersburg
2) House in Tuscany
3) House in the Dominican Republic or Cuba
4) and a flat in New York for the shops <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

[Sel Vicious]

Hmmm...
Florida
Holland
Wrexham

[SconeBeast]

ooooo...*rubs hands in glee at the thought of unlimited money* <IMG SRC="tongue.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

To be honest, I reckon I wouldn't like to be based in any particular place....maybe i'd just travel and if I liked a location i could stay a while...then move on....

But if the travelling hermit thing got boring, I'd most definitely return to dwell a hibernian and possible nude bohemian existence on one of the western hebridean isles. <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

Wouldnt we all- I mean Id live in Stoke if there was the guarantee of neighbours like that <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

No offence Stokeonians (Is that a word? Oh well it is now)

[Benjamin C]

First of all i would splash out on a luxery pad overlooking the alps in Switzerland.Then i would buy a mansion in Southern Ireland because its so beautiful there.I would get a villa in the carrabien as well. Why not you know,all that money you could get a pad in every country.(not that you would ever want to) <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

[beben]

Good question!!!

My boyfriend decided, he would live in Florida, especially Naples, near the Gulf of Mexico.
On the coast where dolphins swim free.
But I would live in Scotland, for it's nice and green!!!!!
I might go and visit him once in a while!!! (lol) <IMG SRC="cool.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

[NatiWati]

#takes a deep breath...and...#

Ok here goes....

1. Big House in Amsterdam...large large large back garden essential for my greenhouse!

2. Big House in Morrocco....gigantic back field once again essential to grow my 'herbs and vegetables'

3. Big House in Cuba....big field essential to successfully run my 'sugar' business

4. A few more scattered houses round the map to comply with my customer demand for sugar , herbs, vegetables and plants!

5. Several yaughts and private jets to avoid importing/exporting taxes for my business.

6. Several privately built ports and airports in order to have the best quality, speedy service for my customers, and once again avoid taxes!

I think that would be enough for the 1st month's business...after that i would consider going global.....

[Justin Sane]

Studio appartments in: Auckland, Blackpool, London, New York, Kurla Lumpar

... and a plane ticket to Northen Ireland <IMG SRC="tongue.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

[Dear Wendy]

If I could I would build a place every 200 metres, but I cant so I am just imagining of a...

1. Pent house in NY
2. Beach house in Malibu
3. Ski cabin in Norway
4. Ski Cabin in Schweiz (made out of chocolate) or France
5. House in Jerusalem, with a view over the mountains
6. House or apartment near where I live now
7. Farm in South Africa with giraffes.
8. Place in Australia where I can have KOALAS <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
9. House outside of Rome or Milan
10. Palace on the moon! Sounds KERAZEEEE but if I could I would defintely buy the moon and live there, or on some other planet.

[viridis]

I would like to and may eventually live in Costa Rico. Its a rather peaceful democracy. The land is relatively unexploited and the people friendly and crime low(at least on the gulf side). The surf is nice and every sizeable piece of property has streams and waterfalls in the jungle. They have wildlife like sloths, macaws, toucans, jaguars, caimens, eyelash vipers, and anteaters. The government encourages private investors to by rainforest and pays them to not develope them. Their are also numerous national parks. Tourist are know to visit and never return and its been compared to hawaii. I'd like to start a commune their and farm and guide tourists. Maybe one day

[Sa-ra-ra-ra]

notice how no-one wants to live in london?! Ok, here's mine...
I'd have a penthouse apartment in London and New York. A house in Barcelona (love that city), and a villa in somewhere hot, like, hmm... tuscany. So that when i get bored of the cities (like that's going to happen <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">) i can escape to my retreat.

[Minnie the Minx]

Erm.....
Apartment in christchurch, NZ
Penthouse in NY
Hotel in all the usual club 18-30 destinations
Beach in any carribean resort
Villa in the med


The list is endless

Dam, I just woke up....
<IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

[BigHairyFeet]

<IMG SRC="eek.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> Hamburg: what a beautiful city, with a lovely lake in the middle, and havin a spliff is no problem.
<IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> Barcelona: I going there in a few months, it looks beautiful.
<IMG SRC="cool.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> Alaska: what a place to go and have a stroll on a Sunday.

[happy bunny]

definetly gotta be the carribean! waking up every morning to pure water and white sand!!!
*dreams*

[Turtle]

Right.

Traditional Vaudasian chalet in Saas Fee, Switzerland.

Barbican flat in London

Lovely house down near Dufourplatz in Zurich that I pass every day.

Townhouse in Surrey Hills, Oz.

Villa in Vale do Lobo, Algarve.

And I think I'll move on to Tash's island in the sun. <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

[Chica II]

I'd want a Spanish villa near a quiet beach, I'd paint it white with blue swirly things... <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

[Toadborg]

Your all very greedy.....

I would like a house that is big enough for me and my girlfriend in a nice area near all my family and friends, NOT some foreign place where I don't know anyone and can't speak the lingo......

[Captain Slog]

I don't feel the need to have homes in exotic foreign locations, Britain is fine enough for me. <img src="http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/flags/uk.gif" alt="image">
I'd have a mansion in Devon on the south coast with its own private beach (great for swimming), with jetty for my own yacht (a Cornish pilot cutter or Fisher 31). It would have a big garage to house my (huge) collection of classic cars and would be close to the railway for trainspotting expeditions. <img src="http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/spotter.gif" alt="image">

[katchika]

Swimming? At the British seaside, maybe about once a year if you are lucky!

[Kit Kat]

Oz for sure although i'd have a fair few pads elsewhere too, perhpas Amsterdam, best city in Europe i reckon, another in ST Tropez and a nice little cottage up in bonny Scotland, i think 3's enough! <IMG SRC="redface.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

[Pepsi_104]

ummmmm *thinks hard* america.....florida i guess. but ive never visited. but if i could then id live in the florida keyes it loooks soooooo nice <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

Britains k...i mean theres absolutely no danger of anything realy..its so safe from anything natural anyway....

Kinda boring you may say :P

[mr turbo head]

Southampton's nice (except Totton), and Bradford seems OK, especially Bingley and Saltaire

[fanatic]

Dingle... no doubt about it <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

[rover]

New Zealand. <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

[wiwka]

I would have to have a few places, because the idea of settling down makes me really uncomfortable. My base would be in Montreal, because I'm from Canada and happy about it, and that's about the coolest place there is here. I'd have a place in London, Berlin and Moscow to enjoy the same kind of social scenes in different cultures, plus I want to learn German and Russian. I would also have a place in Beirut, because I like Islamic culture. My relax-and-do-nothing holiday spots would be either the island Brac, Croatia or Dubrovnik, and somewhere far away and exotic like Fiji - where I'd probably spend a reeeaally long time. For a weekend relaxing getaway I'd go to my friends converted windmill in Palmela, Portugal.

[Chirpy Cheryl]

Anywhere where it doesn't rain too much or is freezing. Probably sumwhere in Italy or in the South of France cuz it's gorgeous there and nice and warm too. I've never been to Italy but I'd love to go cuz I'm planning to do Italian at Uni. Also Australia sounds tempting :cool:

[Sary]

I would probably just take a place in Amsterdam. That's where my heart is, so I figure the rest of me should be there as well.


*sigh*

[Lizzafins]

A tropical island in Central America...noncommercialised.

[cats_eyes]

i would love to have a house by the beach in the carabeen some where.

[endofinfinity]

A palace in Marrakech or Fez (a small one, maybe only 4-5 servants, be reasonable), a Gaudi house in barcelona, a brownstone cornerhouse in NY if i had a family, a flat in rome and a VW camper van in good nick. Oh, and summat in the rockies to snowboard from.

Nice.

[One Nad Brad]

Several places- luxory house at each one. . .

Hawaii- Unbelievabely exotic. . .

New York City- the world is your oyster (if you have enough money)

Mombasa- on the beach - winter months are nice.

[Faith]

I'm gonna be really rich and I'll have lots of houses....

one in a very posh part of Bournemouth by the seaside, so that i can still spend time in my home town!

one in Hawaii - never been there but it'd be a nice house on the beach with palm trees and hammocks!

one in Australia - again never been there, but a posh apartment in Sydney harbour overlooking the water would be nice!

hmm...I'm sure there'll be loads more...all by the sea ofcourse! :D

[HipHopChick]

Americaaaaaaa :D

Id also have several houses so I dont get bored:rolleyes:
1) In Palm Springs CA ( wicked place for chilling out )
2) New York appartment for shopping!
3) Villa in Majorca
4) Nice pad in London!
5) ( hey im loaded! ):crazyeyes :p Somewhere like the Seychelles
