So, where would you emigrate to?

RachaelVO

I am curious if many boardsies have or are intending to emigrate. If so, where would you be most likely to go. Would you stick to the English speaking countries (UK, US, Australia...) or would you give yourself the challenge of a non English speaking country?

I ask as we are in The Netherlands, now I was lucky as my husband is Dutch, so we had a base to start with, but not everybody is that lucky (if truth be known, I would rather be in Ireland, nice big extended family and friends etc), so I am being curious (nosy is probably a better word), where have you gone/going to?

Northern Ireland.

Pauleta

Christmas Island, where it really is Christmas everyday.

Novella

If I was going to live anywhere else in the world, it'd have to be New York. I really love it there. I probably wouldn't leave Ireland though, I think I'd find it impossible to live without the people I am closest to here.

Would tend to agree, not to many people looking at it but has better job prospects than here but lower wages though........

Coriolanus

The US. and, I'm aware that this makes me a crypto fascist who supports baby rape and mass murder. At least according to some of ah. :roll:

Eric Cartman

thats the problem, Id go move to amsterdam but I love open spaces and cars too much , Id move to california but their meat/dairy is shíte , police are brutal and the FBI would arrest me all the time for making anti american / anti isreali comments, Id move to australia except for all the things that would kill me there, Id move to dubai except im an alcoholic and its too hot , so I think ill stay here

Honestly, I'd do everything in my power to remain in Ireland - work at whatever, where ever.
If there were absolutely NO jobs of any description anywhere on the island then I would probably head for the UK.

South Africa for me,might be a brutal violent dangrous country but in the area where some of family live I feel at home.
I'd definietly consider moving over there since I've spent summers there before and loved it.

Lot of bird sh*te there though!

Somewhere French speaking myself, not too fussy

I think I would go to Singapore. Although I can see the appeal of moving to a lesser developed country, with a slower pace of life. If I had the over heads and wasn't rearing a child I think I would consider the logistics of moving to Borneo perhaps, or maybe Indonesia, to teach scuba diving or to open a little café or B&B. It's something I will look into when I am older and have cut the cord with Ireland. I have travelled a lot, worked abroad and have family in America (and American citizenship) but I consider Ireland my home, I love Dublin and I love Irish people (for the most part). Also, my partner would never consider moving abroad, no matter how dire things were here. I wouldn't consider it as a means to get away from Ireland or find work etc, but I would as an exciting opportunity or a chance to broaden my mind and have an adventure.

If i had to pick one country to emigrate to it would be Japan but giving the current situation they are in its probably not such a good idea at the mo!:o

Poor Craythur

I guess I'd choose a Northern hemisphere Anglosphere country.

krudler

The States, in a heartbeat.

jay93

Meh i wouldn't like the states they are crazy over there :D

If i was going i would avoid New York anyways they are very ignorant there.
Maybe California,Miami,??
Feck New York everyone seems to go there and come back like a ignroant pig!!!:eek::o

One of the civilised parts of the US I guess, but I'd rather go to mainland europe if I had too.

Chicago without a doubt, a simply spectacular city
