    New Zealand, without a doubt.

    Best country I was ever in, and I fell in love with the place when I was there last may and June.

    Beautiful scenery, lovely, friendly, down to earth people.

    Excellent beers.

    Coogee in Sydney. Had the best time there and would go back if I could. Once I win the lotto tomorrow I'm gone.

    Ha!

    I used to live there too.

    Right behind the CBH on Vicar Street. Where did you live?

    Aw man, I loved it there, great beach, and the CBH is a deadly night out, and of course accross in the Aquarium.

    All them little cafés on the road leading from the beach up to Woolworth's. I miss that place a lot.

    Sydney is a great city, but I much preferred Melbourne.

    Sydney is Australia's 'American' city, Melbourne is more 'European'

    I was up on Carrington road was actually closer to Clovelly but Coogee was my home especially the CBH. I dont remember the Aquarium. The palace bar was good for sunday sessions. The cafes were good alre. I lived in Melbourne well St.Kilda for a few months as well. Loved the city, but I had a better time in Sydney could have been because I knew more people. When where you there?

    That is what I did. Here about 8-9 months now. Wow, time flies.
    Looking at staying for another year.

    The Palace Bar is the Aquarium. Same place. Yeah, the aul Sunday afternoons over the the Palace were super alright.

    But where I lived was literally a half minute walk from the back entrance to the CBH Beer Garden. Sweet as, bro.

    I lived in Coogee from Aug 2005 until Feb 2006.

    I actually lived in St Kilda aswell, from Feb to May 2006, well, Inkerman Street, one tram stop further out from the city than St Kilda, I'd say about the same distance from Coogee as you lived. If you know what I mean.

    Living right on Queen Street in Auckland and work in the viaduct.
    Loving it here. Great people, having fun and enjoying work for the first time.

    Only thing, it is winter now. Rains a few days a week. Two weeks ago there was a mini hurricaine, last week part of the north land flooded to the depth of 1m. Tens of thousands went with out power for a day or two during the week when wind speeds hit 160-180km in some areas.

    That is just on hte north island. The south is getting loads of snow and skiing season is kicking off.

    Roll on summer time again :D

    I never really liked Auckland all that much, not that it's a bad place at all, I just preferred the towns on the South Island. ChCh being my favourite. I was on the SI for last winter. Nothing like the Southern Alps in the wintertime. Beautiful place.

    An unusual choice! I was there for a couple of weeks a few years back. Nice place but very small and quiet and in the middle of nowhere. 6 months of darkness and cold pretty much all year round. Have you thought this through!?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    Three actually.

    This unscheduled Winter we're having now.

    The Winter coming up starting around Mid September.

    And the Winter you'll be flying into in NZ!

    Although, yes, it is a great, fantastic place. I'm jealous of you.

    Rome - fell in love with the city when I visited it.

    Bilbao - same. People are friendly and the city is so modern and clean. Nightlife until the small hours. Lovely place.

    Paris was great too....could easily see myself living there. Just need to brush up on the language.

    Aside from that I'd like to try Canada or New Zealand......just need to save some cash for that though. :)

    not a fan of paris, very impersonal, many rude people and quite an expensive city.

    Wherever it was in Japan, that Takeshi's Castle was filmed. I would live in the castle and work for Count Takeshi, oh the hilarity. :)

    Haha, brilliant. Oh I havent seen that show in ages.

    If I was to live anywhere, it'd be somewhere in the south or south-west of France, in one of those small villages. For a non-small village place there it'd be Biarritz though. I love France, and after I head to Berlin, I'll be heading there once or twice to visit a friend, so at least I get to go a bit in the future.

    I loved Rome and if I were to leave the Emerald Isle to set up home elsewhere, that would be my first choice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    I'm really happy here, but were I to leave it would probably be southern australia or Sweden.
