    Presuming that most posters here live in Ireland -

    Which country would you like to live in, other than Ireland ?

    - And why would you like to live there ?


    You answers can be either actual experiences of other countries, or just from what you have read/heard (or seen on TV).

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 211 ✭✭[Iramus]


    i can see it now...

    we becomes porn stars in the sleesy japanese porn industry and slowly make our way up in the world, of course fighting our drug and saki addictions, to become leaders of a cool martial arts gang that will eventually get destroyed by a lone man from hong kong called tang long. In the final battle his uncle will turn on him though, sticking a knife in his back. (thus allowing our escape)
    to return in the sequel

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 211 ✭✭[Iramus]


    yea, we'll hire an american ninja (chuck norris) to protect us in our fortress under mount fuji.
    I never knew living in japan would be so much fun


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,455 ✭✭✭weemcd


    and a night club, with a fight to the death ring below, and prostitutes, and some cool angry dogs and fast motor bikes, and be friends with jet-lei, with dmx popping in every so often for tea??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 211 ✭✭[Iramus]


    ..you know it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman

    some where the weather is hot and the people are not asshòles.

    maybe japan or usa.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 451 ✭✭Zukustious


    It's gotta be Japan, everything is just so portable there. And the ROBOTS! You just have to love all the robots. Soon, they will be our masters. But for now, they are our bitches. Also, I'm sure there are other things in Japan that are good.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 211 ✭✭[Iramus]


    the toilet recommended you all come over here to japan and join in our high tech nonsense

    Somewhere up North. Preferably Finland. Australia/New Zealand could also be pretty cool.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 958 ✭✭✭Mark


    Iceland


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,216 ✭✭✭phreak


    Switzerland


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,455 ✭✭✭weemcd


    Right so me [Iramus], tman and Zukustious are gonna start a porn star agency, then a street gang employ chuck norris, be friends with jet lei, make at least two movies, deal drugs, live in a fortress, play with robots, kick jean claud van damms ass, **** in some computerised toilets, street race and basically run tokyo. Anyone else want to join our gang, the quicker you jump on the band wagon, the quicker you get to be in a japanese porno!!!!!!!:) :)
    and thats just what society makes us believe, we havnt even been ther yet


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 965 ✭✭✭DriftingRain


    Seeing that I am in America and I have made such great friends in Ireland...I would have to choose Ireland :D

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,025 ✭✭✭yellum


    Iceland or Japan

    I've been talking to a lot of people in Japan lately and they all love it.

    Just need to find me a skill so I can look for a job out there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Curious - so many people wanting to be in Japan. I may need to check that place out some day.

    I would live in Greece.

    Yeah, Japan would be cool. I wouldn't mind living somewhere else in Europe either, like Germany. Anywhere that has a much better internet service than ours..

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,835 ✭✭✭BoB_BoT


    Canada - Great weather. for winter nice and snowy, for summer nice and hot. it's america without the angry gun people. saying that i'm told by some american friends that san fran is really!!! nice


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,033 ✭✭✭Silvera


    I can understand why people would choose Australia, Canada, Switzerland and Iceland (?) - but what is the fascination with Japan, seriously ?

    My first choice would be Australia (or New Zealand) BTW.

    :)

    seriously?
    asian chicks.
    (from what i've seen they could mostly do with a quick shave tho)
    tbh anywhere in asia would do me.

    when's this takeover going to happen then weemcd?
    we need to start booking flights, employing chuck norris etc pretty soon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 491 ✭✭Silent Bob


    Maui

How do you feel about gettin my friend bail involved, hes a laugh and knows loadsa japanese film plots, meaning we could use those to our advantage. He thought of a name earlier but i canne remember.

    Botswana or South Africa forever.

    Japan for awhile.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,414 ✭✭✭LoneGunM@n


    Grand Cayman, Biarritz [France] or New Zealand


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,443 ✭✭✭✭bonkey


    I quite like Switzerland. I could stay here. All its really missing is ocean.

    Failing that...possibly somewhere in the remoter parts of Scotland would be nice if I had the right opportunity.

    I think I'd like to live on that island with all the carved heads. Rapa Nui is it called? Anyway I'd pick that cos it's bang in the middle of the Pacific and about as far as you can get from anywhere. If they didn't have TV, newspapers or tourists either then that'd be even better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,330 ✭✭✭✭Amz


    I'd like to live somewhere like Alaska, I don't like hot weather plus winter/snow sports are something I'd enjoy. Plus surviving the winters would be a nice challenge. I don't like too many people around so if you've seen me you'd know how easy it'd be for me to go off and hide in the snow away from people if they were becoming too much for me.

    Oh and I want some huskies....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 265 ✭✭Nitrox


    Australia for the adventure.
    Netherlands for the fun of it!
    Sweden for the girls and short distance to Copenhagen!
    UK....well, maybe for a cool job..
    Germany...again Job, Beer and fast Internet! :D
    Italy...For the food!!
    France....had to be for a women, but dont think so!
    Any of the Eastern countries...would be cool if not for crime rates.
    USA....no bloddy way!
    Canada...i dont see no reason why not except unemployment rates.
    Iceland...very cool, very expensive, very nice girls....but i would expect even worse weather than Ireland...ohh yeah, and a few speak Danish up there, good thing ;o)
    Japan...sounds cool, but i think i would be the odd one out beeing 6 foot 6 and blond..

    I simply dont know, so i think i will stick around for a while, or at least untill the smelly stuff hits the fan
    :ninja:

    you do know in winter it is dark like 23 hours a day, and in summer it's light 23 hours. sounds fooked up to me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,330 ✭✭✭✭Amz


    If you knew my "sleep" patterns you'd understand why that wouldn't be a problem for me in the slightest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,455 ✭✭✭weemcd


    i'd keep you warm on cold nights- ie. everynight


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 211 ✭✭[Iramus]


    thats what i like to hear weemcd. You'd make a great addition to the japanese porn industry:D

    yeah, bail seems just about crazy enough to join our gang:)
    if there are any more new members we're going to have to set up some kind of initiation ceremony (japaneese style of course)
    heh, we should call ourselves the yakiza, that'd piss the yakuza off!
    i'll take care of the "they disrespected my family, now they will pay" side of things, my plot involves the deflowering of some lovely maidens...

    hes brilliant at mercy, he nearly made this guy (trimble) in our school cry. he loves anime, i thought of something though, ill be busy between satisfying Amz and being head of a gang. o think bails task should be to infiltrate a temple steal the queen, and leave without being detected- with his trousers round his ankles.

    My boy chuck wont return my calls i ma have to get all cable guy jim carey if hes not carefull. peace out yakiza members

    lol,
    ill give my contacts in the porn industry the heads up, and set some elaborate 70's style traps that the shrewd lone kung fu master can disarm only to face mr Norris in an underground cave. where we will of course capture the infadel and torture him, while telling him our plans of course, then he'll escape and foil us. .......doh!:ninja:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,455 ✭✭✭weemcd


    he already knows too much, i sent a death squad after him only to have their penises mailed back to me by mr. norris, me thinks its time for jet lei, and if the time machine works bruice lei. oh **** now this thread knows too much (note to self dont give away plan) well it was nice knowing ya the deat squads are on the way
