    Personally I'm thinking either Canada or the US state of Alaska.

    Long Term.. Canada or Oz.
    Short Term.. Asia.

    What he said.

    Being young and single in Asia makes for a pretty good life. Australia long term for the weather or Canada because I like the people.

    Hope to get back to Ireland before too long though.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,252 ✭✭✭Dr. Baltar


    In the Short Term: UK, Canada or one of the Asian Countries.
    Long Term: USA specifically California.

    Thats a strange coincidence thats exactly why I moved here from the UK :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,354 ✭✭✭smellslikeshoes


    Been thinking about going to Germany for a long time, starting to look more and more likely as things get worse here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Mars - I'd go there and set up a Oxygen-providing company while exploiting the lowly mutants.............only for it to all blow up in my face when a guy named Quaid comes along

    Either that or Britain.................though I'd probably get stabbed as soon as I'm off the boat. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 441 ✭✭godscop


    Anywhere that will give me great social welfare for sitting on my arse all day.
    My partner can get a house for having a baby, i can go home when i want and still claim social welfare. I can commit a crime and get free legal aid. I can cross a border and get 2 social welfare payments. I can get a card that pays my medical bills. ANY IDEAS ?

    Very difficult to get back once you leave if you weren't there legally. I've a mate that entered from Australia and lived in New York for 5 years. Never left after his 90 days. Came home for a funeral and got out with nothing said. Went to go back and his esta was refused for overstaying his visa. Ended up with a ban of some sorts.

    Probably Canada, Colombia or Mexico for me.

    No I was legal. I have a company willing to sponsor me but the H1B's are all gone.

    most of canada is bloody freezing this time of year, there is a reason most native canadians can be found in places like arizona and socal in winter ;)

    alaska might be nice to visit but to emigrate :confused:

    if i spoke spanish and had a green card miami would very appealing, buy me one of those highrise condos overlooking the american airlines arena, its a fine city, great nightlife in southbeach, you can lay on the beach in january and sunbath in 28 degrees, try that in calgary or winnipeg this time of year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,191 ✭✭✭Unpossible


    Myself and the missus are hoping to move back to Finland within a few years, or possibly norway, sweden or canada.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,130 ✭✭✭Azureus


    Wow, didnt think Canada was THAT popular.. always said Id prob go there myself, never actually been but my brother lived there for a bit and he made it sound so amazing!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,992 ✭✭✭✭gurramok


    Russia - suicide bombers
    Colombia - ongoing drugs wars
    Mexico - get your head chopped off by the local drug kingpin.
    Alaska - very cold in winter


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 518 ✭✭✭Ironman76
