I plan to hit up Ireland and Japan, not in that order, within the next 10 years.

I'm considering moving to New England within the next 5, we'll see what happens, but the chances of me staying in St. Louis are about 50/50 right now. I might go career in sports service after I finish college, and I could move to pretty much any major city (Read as: Any city with a sports team Sportservice has the contract for) in America.

Studying in Japan for the next 3 years starting next year; if that works out, I might look for means to stay there after I get my degree and brush up on the language. Before I do that though, I definetley want to visit Holland. I have family there, and after seeing pictures I remember why Europe is the most beautiful of places in the world.

I understand wanting to get out of your country. I mean, I absoutly love Oregon, I'm a native, lived here all my life and I love having everything you want to do within a days drive (ie. Ocean, mountains, lakes, mountain biking, cities, middle of nowhere...) its amazing and I don't think I could ever leave it for too long. And yet, at the same time, all I want to do is get out of this country and go somewhere thats....well...not so "cushy" I want to travel all over the world and hopefully end up somewhere without any spiders (ew. *shudder* ) and that is relatively warm all the time...

In the meantime, I can't wait to go to England! I leave in 25 days! woo!

I would love to go back to Japan (I lived there for two years.) It was like a virtual mecca of video games and even though I lived in Kyoto I never went to see the Nintendo building. I have got to do that some day.

I visited Cambridge, England once, and I have to say it's been my favorite vacation so far. It felt more like home than lonely little Arkansas does.....

Wyoming would be nice, too, mainly because it's pretty and there are no people there.

California is way too flashy and crowded for me. The only reason I'd go would be to buy a sweet car.

Hahaha those were my thoughts exactly! As if you would want to leave the beautiful city of Athens, Greece. You're very lucky to live there GreenDay. I learnt about Greece in Ancient History last year lol. Lucky me..

Anywho, I don't really want to leave the state of Queensland just yet to go somewhere else. If I did, I would love to go to.. Rome! I have always wanted to go there. It seems to be a very beautiful place. I would also like to move to Scotland or something, another beautiful place! There are a lot of nice places over in Europe.

Going to Japan would be awesome too! ^_^

Oh and Greenday, how can you say Athens is boring? You guys have a lot of interesting stuff! Your history isn't boring at all.

Damn it, I am going to Georgia next year or my name isn't *real name omitted (stalkers)* for college.

And i'm excited. Savannah is a really nice place, but i'll miss Florida. I know the states touch and all, but.... I have meeeeemories here.

The weather is pretty much the same, which is nice. I love heat. I love when its 86 and sunny outside, and the ocean beckons to you like a waiting lover.

..... I love that I just got all Nora Roberts on the ocean.

I think some of you have been missinformed as far as greece goes. I've visited Crete and Athens and I can say it's not the "beautiful" city you see it as on postcards. Look out at the ocean from a beach and it's amazing, turn around and prepare to see some nasty stuff. The majority of the large towns are PACKED with things for tourists, a lot of little kiosks selling postcards/drinks/sunglasses. Then you've got the area where the large majority of the population lives and it's pretty run down. Sort of like mexico, you've got some beautiful resorts and historical sites but the rest is a little dreary.

To hell with travelling.

Florida has everything I could ask for - careers in History, girls, beaches, fixed voting, and hurricanes. Name one other place that can give me all of those and I might consider it.

When I lived in California, I didn't think it was that great. It was overcrowded, brown (the land and sky...and water, not the people) and full of traffic jams.

Now that I live in Minnesota, I still think it's crowded, brown, and full of traffic jam, but I miss it!

I guess it's the old, "The grass is always greener in the other pasture."

As for traveling, yes, I'd LOVE to travel the world. It's a huge place with lots of things to see and do. Why deny yourself the world?

Tiffany · 06-13-2006, 05:45 AM

I'm going to break the trend here, because while I would love to vist other places, there's no other place I'd rather live than in Canada.

ha ha ha. Seriously. I've been to places in the States, and they were nice! But there was just a different feeling to them, not at all like there is up where I am from. It could very well be because I am from here, so therefore I am comfortable here. But whatever reasons they are, I would never want to call any other place home than somewhere in Canada.

On that note, I'd love to go to Greece. Even if not to just see Athens and whatever. I want to go where a place has centuries of history. You know, stuff that can be traced back to biblical times. To me, that's interesting. It's too new over here.

But I'd never want to live there.

PunkyGirl · 06-13-2006, 09:14 AM

Well thank you very much for everything!!!
Now i would like to ask you if california is nice to go for studies!!
I want so much to see your opinions!

Secret Azn Man · 06-13-2006, 09:16 AM

Of course California is a good place to go study. But not during high school, though. High school sucks. Wait for college.

PunkyGirl · 06-14-2006, 04:22 AM

Thanks i want to go there for the
university! in Oaklad or in Berkley?

Deicide · 06-14-2006, 04:55 AM

Dream nothing, I already DID that. *lmao*

And, not content with already being a British gal living with my one true love in Texas, I already have plans to go and visit Australia, Japan, and quite likely Germany. I have to wait a few years to do that, of course, but in the meantime I'm trying to harrass Anomaly into taking me to see some of the other States here in this strange strange land called 'America'. I love travel, I only have one rule - At the end of the day you have to have somewhere comfortable and familiar to hang your hat and relax with your loved ones. *nods decisivly*

O. And of course I plan to visit England too, probably London because, in all the years I lived over there, I never ONCE visited the capital. O_o
