If I could go to any country for a vacation, it would be Spain... if nothing else, to get some paella. If I could move to any country, it would be Canada... the politics around here scare me (but let's leave it at that, I'm probably not even supposed to say that with the politics rule this board has)

In no particular order:

USA- I was born and raised here, go figure. Love the high tech stuff. Fits my powerhungry personality.

Japan- the Japanese seem to share a vision of the future that I can identify with. They produce some good movies and consoles.

Bahrain- the arabian culture there is just so damned cool. I must say that my two years on the little desert island were some of the best years of my life.

Denmark- cause the original creater of LEGO came from there.

Canada. I mean, what other place has craploads of maple syrup, people running around saying "eh?", and mounties? Its quite possibly the coolest place on earth (I know those are all stereotypes and whatnot, but its still pretty nifty). Oh yeah, and Canada also has the best looking and nicest girls...(in my experience). I guess the US ain't that bad either, though.

We don't all have accents like that!

Try the "Geordie" accent from Newcastle upon Tyne in England: "How man make 'is a cup o' tea ya useless b*st*rd! And get yer lazy a*se the chippy 'coz am f***ing starving. Get is tail-end and chips."

Female Geordie accents I find particularly repulsive (I was born and grew up in Newcastle.) I dunno what it is, but I just can't stand it. My wife has a more Northumberland/Scottish borders accent.

My favorite countries:
1. Germany (very nice people and Berlin is particularly nice)
2. Holland (Not so much Amsterdam though as it seems to be full of stoned Brits, more the countryside)
3. Sweden (I'm part Scandinavian and apparently I look like a viking! I have a big ginger beard)

Basically anywhere where there isn't loads of Brits complaining about how nobody speaks English or how "this tea isn't done in the English way" or how nobody serves fish and chips (Spain is particularly full of Brits like this). Jeez! I thought the whole point of going to another country was to experience another culture, not to complain about how it's not like England!

USA: Born here and besides I like the fact that I can make a climate change without crossing any boarders.

Hong Kong: Dirt cheap electronics and a huge variety of them (unlike here in the US where you can only find "trendy" stuff). Sir Games-a-lot in HK: I'll take that one and that one and some of those and what does this one do...... blinks oh good i'll take twenty....

China: Kick-butt robot kits that Vex or Mindstorms can barely shake a stick at.

Anywhere that has good skiiiiiiing (to many i's?) is fine with me. (switzerland, germany, etc)

Japan sounds really great. My friends dad used ot be stationed down there, he can talk japanese and evrything. He makes it sound really great. Not that I didn't already think it was great before that mind you. It just sounds like a great place for a techy like me.

I don't know what you mean, dear boy. Pull your socks up man, what what. Anyway, must put on my pinstripe suit and bowler hat and drive the Bentley to Ascot. Look lively!

Yeah, I suppose England's ok really, could be worse.

funny its making climate changes across our borders LOL. its not USas fault but more of an impression that they have no choice but continue on a corse of curption. Plus you guys need to over throw your government... and tell them not to drill in wild life refuges.
