    to live for a year or two. But, the stipulation is that you cant go to an English speaking country in the first world (Britain, USA, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the like). Where would you go? English speaking countrys in Africa like Nigeria, Ghana etc can be mentioned.

    I didnt put the post in the travel section as I'm not interested in travel info but posters opinions on other nationalities and countrys.


    For me I would have a hard time choosing between (1) Germany beacuse they are actually very friendly, have great beer and nighlife although their food is crap. (2) I'm Married. But If I wasnt I would go to Iceland and live there for the year (not sure about winter though). Been there twice. Weekend nights out are mad. (3) Lebanon Ive always wanted to go somewhere exotic

    Anway witha drunk Leader and a bankrupt economy everybody is going to be leaving soon - get that atlas out. Mongolia here we come!:(

    Everywhere, in any order. Want to travel the world. Preferably all in one go with a backpack and sandles but seem destined to see it all one piece at a time in 2 weeks a year intervals :( I hate real life!

    Not really, I love me.

    Pointless as alot of Germans speak English.

    Perhaps a country where the vast majority of the populace don't speak a word of English at all? France\Belgium I think would be the nearest.

    Lebanon is exotic and the women are stunners.
    I'd go to Morocco or China though.

    Would recommend Germany as the economy is picking up nicely here judging by the work I'm offered. Failing that, Scandanavia, although it is feckin' expensive.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
