    Spain - anywhere away from the "costas", esp. Galicia and Andalucia.
    OR
    Italy from Florence all the way to Sicily.
    ...food, drink, weather, scenery cutoms etc etc etc

    honestly i've never met a friendlier people then when i was in America. i'd love to set up residence there some day, but really with all their crazy PC-ness i don't think i'd be able to cope. i'm not a good catholic :(

    Germany shades it over France for me. Although anywhere on the continent is great because you can get anywhere by train, if you want to, and it's relatively cheap to do so.

    Hagar, where in South of France are you? I'm a regular visitor to Nice.

    Of all the countries I've visited, I have to be honest and say that I love good old Ireland.

    Everytime I sit sweltering in the sun in a resort somewhere, I dream of bring back at home in the pouring rain and the gales. I'm one of those weird people that actually likes Irish weather, and I miss it when I'm away.

    Not sure whats the best country but definitely my favourite city is San Diego

    Germany,worked there for two summers in my Uni years.

    Pros :-

    1) Public transport thats fast, reliable, clean and cheap
    2) Everywhere is clean and no knackers in sight asking for smokes or littering the streets or threatening me for "lookin ah" them, I was in Munich so cannot comment on other areas.
    3) Housing is far cheaper
    4) People in shops are friendly
    5) Climate - sunny and warm in the summer (with some kick ass thunderstorms) and cold and snowy in the winter - the way I like it.

    Cons

    They speak German not English..thats it.

    New Zealand here too - fantastic country.
    Safe to travel in, not too many people, good value for money, well set up for tourists, extraordinary landscape, and has the same 'little country beside a big country' sense of humour we have here.
    I loved it.

    Iceland. . . . 21 odd hours of daylight in Summer - unbelivable

    Beers a bit pricey but didnt care, wasnt there to drink, the sights are stunning.

    Ireland.
    The nature, the people, the weather... everything's great =D

    Got to be Australia....specifically Melbourne.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 955 ✭✭✭LovelyHurling


    If have to say New Zealand. Like Australia, but better.


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 12,615 Mod ✭✭✭✭Zascar


    Also have to say Australia. Got so much going for it. Natural beauty, beaches, Infrastructure, opportunity, English speaking, hot women, and best of all the weather!

    Mozambique, probably one of the most stunning places on earth, 2800km of Indian ocean paradise coastline. Primal forest and crazy mountains that just stick right up out of it. Add in the sweetest pineapples in the world and the exotic mix of Portugese, African, Indian and Chinese food (and women :) ) and you have one hell of a country. Lots of landmines though.
    All in all Bob Dylan was right "I like to spend some time in Mozambique
    The sunny sky is aqua blue"
