Where would you like to live?

That's a misconception. 99%+ of Iceland is below the Arctic Circle. So, while the days are long in summer and short in winter, it not months of sun/dark at a time.

Another misconception is the cold. In the average winter temperature is colder in Chicago than Reykjavík for example.

In a Clancy book I read (Red Storm Rising) the sun would never go completely down in Iceland, it would become almost dark but not all the way.


After thinking about it, Trinidad would be a nice place to live, I love the hot weather and all the people are pretty cool. Though I'm pretty sure I'll never find my way down there permenantly.

I would love to live in Spain. I went there once sightseeing for a week, and it was beautiful. The air was fresh, the people aren't allowed to litter, the streets are cobblestone and you have to walk, and that everything is pretty cheap there. The only bad things are the gypsies, not the ooh-I-think-you-are-so-exotic gypsies....these ones are old and will rob you and gut your ass. They travel in packs, and you never know where you will find them. The tour guides told us the schemes that the gyps would come up with, pretending to be tourists so they could go back to the tour bus and steal cameras, and whatever else they could find. And an event that happened with us, is when this stupid girl, who was warned not to wear any flashy or easily grab-able bags or purses, did. And while we were all headed out for late night omelettes and drinks, we were attacked by gypsies who tried to grab her bag, and when yelled at and almost hit, a whole bunch of other gyps came out of nowhere from other alleyways. The situation was alleviated by the fact that we made a commotion by yelling for the police. Well, I guess...what city isn't a little dangerous? Maybe New York is a better choice....at least you know you might be jumped at all times.

Used to live in the best place in the world, then moved 20 miles west to the most stuckup, snobbed and silverspooned place in the world...or quebec.....

Elaborate...

(where'd you live before, btw?)

It's not that hard to find what you need when you're in Bergen County. Not everyone goes to the Gap.

You just need to realise that some people look for different things. Maybe everything you and your friends and family is available there, but plenty of people do a lot of shopping in Manhattan, obviously. It's quite famous for that .... I'm not saying it to be negitive either. I loved growing up in Bergen County. It's a great place and the very best part of NJ in my opinion.

In the north it's somewhat like that. But in Reykjavík you get a nighttime even in summer. I was there in August and you'd have a few hours of night a night. It was really cool because I saw the Aurora Borealis for the first time in my life.

West Island eh? I have not been in MTL that long but I have not gotten a very favourable opinion of it. It seems like you say and like many residents think they live in Toronto or the States. Speaking of which, what's up with the "miles" and where'd you used to live?

I'd love to live in San Francisco. My girlfriend goes to school there, so I visit frequently, and it's just the ultimate city ever. Big buildings, busy, narrow streets, crazy people everywhere, a black man tap dancing downtown, and awesome public transportation.

Here are some pictures of our Halloween weekend in the city. Just look how awesome it is: http://www.jadedgamefans.com/pics/halloween/

I'd also like to live in Seattle again someday (I just moved from Seattle to Sacramento in July). It's a pretty nice city, despite the rain. Or maybe because of the rain. It's so clean, and soooooo damned green everywhere. Everywhere there's not bulidings, of course. Good people there, too.

Thanks for that SF street picture - its very fucking cool, as I said in my earlier post, SF was my hometown, its definitly the place I feel connnected to but unfortunatley I've lived in Houston, TX for over 15 yrs... well not unfortunatley in all aspects but there are some. I have a really cool pic of that same building you might appreciate though.

Apologies for bumping the thread, had to answer brisco.
before - saint laurent, montreal
now - kirkland montreal. [at least its not westmount]

[Brisco Bold]

Ah! It's that bad in Kirkland?

[Rocca]

no no, it's fine, just when i used to work at the gas station i would get nothing but luxury cars, men with cell phones glued to both ears, and soccer moms....NOTHING BUT GOD DAMN SOCCER MOMS... The region is nice, it's very nice, i just liked my old home better. Personal reasons [friends, surroundings] i guess...

Thanks for answering so quickly
