...If you were forced to leave your home country and go elsewhere, where would you go? Someplace that's more or less the same or some place totally different?

I was thinking Australia. Different enough( southern hemisphere, outback, driving on the opposite side ), but the same where it counts (language, first world, western culture, food, etc...).

Discuss.

If we're talking flags, I'd have a hard time between Germany and Norway.

Providing that you like your home country, search for similar place where no one will be able to force you out.

Hi Tink,

Since I once spent 15 months there, France; in the south.

I'm from the US but have spent about 1/3 of my life in Australia, so my answer would be the same I suppose.

Having lived in another country, well, I'd be open to lots of places. If I were settling down permanently, it might be New Zealand (very nice, but very isolated), or somewhere in Europe (much more going on), or maybe in Brazil (lived there, it'd be easy).

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

The thought of a winter that long and deep is a deal breaker. Plus, any place that puts a Sarah Palin in office is off the table. Same applies to TX.

Im also 50 and learning a new language, it's no big deal, unless you want it to be.

Id either move to Catalunya Spain or the Southern USA

I was in Dominica last winter; it's like returning to the 1960's. If you really yearn for a time like that, I could think of worse places.

As a serious answer, I would want a country that was predominately English-speaking.

I lived in Japan, ages ago, and it was tough, language-wise. I'm older now, so it would be even harder to live somewhere I couldn't communicate easily. I could do NZ or Canada (Nova Scotia, specifically), being isolated doesn't bother me, and it's beautiful.

I don't talk a lot, but when I do, I like to think I'm being understood.

I could go near about anywhere really. Australia sounds kind of nice and is rated highly for quality of life. France might not be a bad choice either. I really liked Romania when I visited there. Japan could be nifty but it'd have to be out of the city. I think I'd do OK anywhere in eastern Europe.

I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?
