would you try out life in a foreign country?

lately i've been thinking quite a bit about it..africa
currently seems most appealing to me :)

you seem the type that hardly ever ventures outside his
house, let alone his continent.

i would like to live in lots of different countries...
africa doesn't really appeal to me so much, personally.
seems like it would be too hot and war-y.

North Africa might have nice spots, but the place does seem
dangerous in many different ways.

Yes, yes I would. It's good. It's different. You can swear
at people and they don't realise. There are other benefits,
too.

i would have to get used to lower standards in africa though
i suppose..it would take a while, but hell, how tough can it
be..this looks kinda alright to begin with..to help me
settle in..

i moved from germany to the uk. not a too great change since
both countries are european. but its refreshing to change
countries and stuff. id say: do it.

to answer your question: yes. i would love to try out every
country in the world. want to trade places? at the moment
i'm working my way out of africa. the south is a good
starting place before venturing north. i'm not quite sure
why though. i think i may have heard a drunk mention it to
me one night. but ja, be verrry careful in africa. whatever
you do, make sure you find the tourist boards and organise
yourself a trusty guide. you don't want to go wandering into
any dangerous slums. they'll rob you. my friend's dad was
shot during a hi-jacking in namibia last week. personally, i
want to go where the sun shines and things are relatively
safe. a place where i can raise my children in comfort. not
having to worry about them running off and playing in some
dodgy spot where they'll be attacked by some madman who
thinks raping a virgin child will cure them of the aids
disease.

yeah, im quite aware of all that..if i really deceided to
move i would make sure about the place i would move
to..wouldn't want to go somewhere blindly..im way too much
of a pussy for something like that.

It would be cool to be displaced but I'm too scared and too
comfortable. I'm content to just observe and imagine what it
would be like in (insert place here). Live vicariously
through music, movies, stories, internets, photographs,
video game missions, etc.

If you feel you want to vamoose I'd say you should get on it
and start figuring out where to go. You're here for a good
time, not a long time, yo.

"You're here for a good time, not a long time, yo. "

it.

all 3 are great places. tuh-ronno is lovely. ive been in U
of T twice too (wanted to do geology there)

if i ever moved to canada it would be some obscure place in
the prairies like Drumheller or something. completely
different to what im used to.
