Title: Top Five Places to Live
Post by: Penguin on March 12, 2012, 06:31:10 PM
Though we live where we do for many reasons, in every competition there are a second, third, fourth, fifth, and even sixth best.  If you were to pick a place outside your current continent on which to hopefully spend the rest of your days, where?  Be as detailed as you can, and pictures are even better.  Try to be original, but don't let realism hold you down- it only has to be on the third rock from the sun.

1.) Town next to CERN super-collider (Good work in my field of choice)
2.) Andes' observatory (Good work in a field of second choice)
3.) Gdansk, Poland (For mai feymilie, eet eez zee auld kowntry- a growing economy helps, too)
4.) Marseilles, France (Warm, and I speak French)
5.) Cornwall, England (London's social hierarchy is stagnant and I don't want a riot to torch my apartment)

Well it depends on the person, I like the city and the rush of it. Although I wouldn't mind living on a tropical island with a beach house with eveything I need.

If you are speaking about the USVI, it is St. John.  Common mistake but drives me nuts.  I lived in St John for 2 years and St Thomas for 3.  Both are very small islands, and you get the 'rock fever' quickly.  St John is the way better choice of the two, but both are extremely racist towards white people.  The BVI are very nice also.
