    Move to Paris, become a snob and live on basically no money and then in about ten years come back here an emaciated prick. That is my plan.

    The country may have been ran into the ground by a few gob****es, but if you take away all the political bull**** we actually have a hell of a country. A quaint little community that are known all around the world for being fun and lively, with half the world trying to claim Irish lineage...

    I've emigrated and you know I'm sorry I didn't travel more of Ireland. When I get back home I'll be taking 3 weeks to drive from top to bottom.

    Politicians and the IMF will never be able to take away the Cliffs of Moher or the ring of Kerry lads. Irelands a beautiful country with good people, so no matter where you go be Irish and proud!.

    i think Overflow's suggestion of emigrating to Norway is great, i've always wanted to live there and after a visit to the country last year i'm convinced that it's the place for me, and now seems to be the time to go! is it difficult to find work there? i'm a sheetmetal worker by trade.

    New Zealand is a great place to emigrate to. Which is why I'm doing it in a couple of months :)

    Ireland is class when you've been living away for a few years.

    True story.

    Ive no experience with that industry, I'm in IT myself, plenty of work there.

    There are a ton of engineering, ship building and off-shore companies, i don't know if thats any use to you.

    try this website, use Google translate unless you can speak Norwegian:

    Which part is true?

    OP, you'll feel at home in NZ and as anyone will tell you, the NZs love their sheep and a new face is always welcomed.

    All suggestions are welcome. If you had the option to emigrate, where would you go?

    Bermuda, Trinidad, Barbados, The Bahamas, St. Martin, Cayman Islands, Maldives, Koh Samui, Bali, Tahiti, Polynesia. Gotta be a job in a bar in ONE of these paradises.

    It's almost like you are all incapable of being able to write responses to this thread that are not horrible failed abortion attempts at being funny (apart from sollar who actually wrote a genuine response). The question in the OP was a serious one.
    You honestly didn't think you'd get serious responses in AH?
    Did you not see the responses for the last thread in July.
    There's a current one in Living Abroad with serious answers for your consideration.

    Maldives is a Muslim country. There are no bars except in the resorts and they are normally worked by Indians for a pittance.

    If you are serious on emigrating you need to take a number of factors into account.

    - Your age.
    - Skill set.
    - Cost of living in that country.
    - Do you plan to come back?
    - Weather
    - Education/Religion.
    - Other culture differences.

    All I can say is, NOT London. Expensive, stressful and the weather is just as crap as home. Not as if you'll gain any massive, life changing cultural experience over here either. My advice would be to take the plunge and go somewhere with a different way of life, even a different language. It will definitely stand to you in the long run.

    Oh, and wherever you do end up, do yourself a favour and try to avoid spending all your time living, working and socialising with other Irish people. Nothing wrong with staying in touch with your fellow countrymen, and it can definitely help with homesickness. But I know far too many people who've gone to the other side of the world and spent their whole time hanging out with red faced muckers in Mayo jerseys, the kind of people they would actively avoid back home.

    Three pages and only one person has said the US (well they said "America", but I'm assuming they meant the US).

    AH has impressed me today.
