    Same as that except in Amsterdam.

    Home is wherever my husband and son are but I supose either Paris, somewhere on Lake Garda or somewhere along the North of Portual...the latter is probably the most realistic, I love the non-touristy parts of Portugal.

    New York has always looked like a cool place to me, but only spent a few days there when I was 7 years old. Would love to go back and experience living there. Ditto Montmarte!

    Buenos Aires. Great people. Great bars. Great food. Good weather (dry at least), plenty for a cub to do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,508 ✭✭✭ElaElaElano


    Alesund, Norway or Quebec City, Canada.

    The colder the better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    New York, without a doubt. I love that city more than anywhere. An apartment up really high, with a proper American diner underneath.

    Not much wrong with where I live, but if I had to change I'd give Argentina a shot.
    Paris, though - why would anyone want to live there?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,737 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    Kerry. OH and I borrowed a house there a couple of months back. Stunning place. You can walk miles without bumping into another person. I'd have been in heaven when I was little.

    For me Paris has the River Seine, the cool science museum, the food, the Eifel tower...you can even see Rodin's Kiss and what about the great metro...would love to go back but it is not good for very young children.

    London.. it feels more like home to me than anywhere. I just click with the rhythm of the city and the mindset of the people. Organised, polite but laid back and it's clean! So much to see and do, so much culture. You could have a great time in the fanciest most cosmopolitan bar in Picadilly or the dingiest kip in Camden.

    But I do love living in Dublin city centre.

    It's not a particularly nice river.
    the cool science museum,
    Fair enough to pass an hour or two, but as a reason to live there.
    the food,
    Not the best place in the country for food, but a decent enough reason.
    the Eifel tower... you can even see Rodin's Kiss
    Again, grand for half an hour
    and what about the great metro...
    It's just like a big, underground LUAS

    I don't mean to pick on your post (I just feel like being mean to Paris).

    Any small remote beach, preferably very small population. Happy with a shack and a sexy woman with me, in fact my gf would do. Simple, uncomplicated and utterly peaceful, but with some good parties too. If anyone knows where that is let me know.

    Liverpool has Rodin's Kiss as well, but fewer croissants.

    Marrakech, especially around Jemaa el Fna... or the train journey between there and Casablance; and Rome of course!!!

    After a rethink. I want to live with my Mammy again.

    It is fair enough, I just have some great memories of the place myself - my dad worked in the fashion industry and they have fairs there around my birthday in March so my daddy was never home for my birthday but he would tell me great stories about the place...the only time I got to choose where we were going I took him there, I felt like I already knew the place and subsequent times there have been with my husband (he even proposed at the Eifel tower) and I went there on my pre-surgery holiday (still waiting on my honeymoon, we were suposed to be going to Florence and Lake Garda this year but I was happily pregnant last year)...it has great memories for me...

    I just love Paris, although I come from a french family, they dont come from Paris, but Provence. But I feel like i have this amazing cultural connection with it!...I do know some people who have absolutely hated the Parisians and their laizze faire attitude, my french grandmother for one!!:p

    Terenure. I was born there, I grew up there. I met my husband there. He bought me a Peggy's Leg.

    We brought our children up in Terenure. I have my bank account there. I have some savings in it - my "running away money", I like to call it.

    But I will never run away from Terenure.

    I was born here & I will die here, having done nothing, seen nothing & having lived a banal, unfulfilled & ultimately pointless life, except for that one time when I made an advert for AIB & became a minor celebrity.... in Terenure.

    Let me see, it's;

    1. Unoriginal
    2. Unfunny
    3. Pointless
    4. A thanks whore attempt, and
    5. A thanks whore fail

    So yeah, it's pretty much, a run of the mill AH response. Well done.

    Starbelgrade was making a humerous reference to an ad you may have seen on the telly box, oh and Brian O'Drisscol was neither born nor lived in terenure but sure why let that get in the way of your bad joke.
