    Prague or the Czech Republic German border. I've been there three times and I just love prague because of the history and the architecture where even the most mundane building looks great. The Czech German border because the countryside was amazing. Now obviously this is Day dreaming but with a bit of actually having been there.

    Tartu in Estonia.

    Beautiful university city, give it a google. Loads to do and see. Not too busy but not dead either.

    Estonia has declared internet to be a human right. English widely spoken (most dissertations in the university are written in English apparently). Really modern, high tech economy about to explode there.

    Everything is cheap, weather is lovely in summer (very cold in winter - but thats a positive for me)

    And the most attractive women of any country i have been to by a long shot. Its so noticeable how good looking everyone is. Honestly the average woman there is stunning. They are good craic too the Estonians.

    I see you've probably ruled out Nepal. I was there in 1998 and it had internet. I'd imagine it would be pretty decent in the cities still. Fantastic scenery and the friendliest people - it's completely different to the chaos of India and much more chilled.

    What I remember of the Czech-German border is gnomes. House after house selling them.

    The Stans always interested me too. I looked into going to college in Astana, Kazakhstan about ten years ago as they have two English speaking universities and plans to make it a major English business hub in the region.

    I was put off by the fact that one in ten people there have tuberculosis and you have to submit a chest x ray before being allowed attend university.
