    Yessir. And that place is Danger. (See that capital "D"?)

    My brother had to go there for business. His company hired him two "translators". He said only one seemed to be able to understand anything.
    Both were armed very well though.

    He told me that "translator" was code for "body guard" in this case.

    Brazil? No thanks.

    Half the hot women from Brazil and Columbia now reside in Costa Rica...they work in the errrr..."entertainment" industry, the fishing is pretty good there so I hear. ;)

    I wasn't talking about violent tendencies. My "drift" was more of a "gender reassignment" based **** in the wind.

    That's why I agreed and said "and Dangerous".

    I actually hope to retire to the south of France or the north of Spain, and spend the rest of my days riding the French Alps and the Pyrenees. The great food and Mediterranean beaches would just be gravy at that point.

    I figured "The Netherlands" was self explanatory.

    Beautiful women, liberal society... whats not to like? In a perfect world, I could afford to live there and would.

    Oh, for all you stoners saying "Amsterdam"... that's not a country it's a city... in the Netherlands. :rolleyes:

    Which one of the Netherlands? Please be more specific. :D:D

    The North Holland would be a great second choice.

    From Wikipedia:

    "The Netherlands is often called Holland, which is formally incorrect as North and South Holland are actually two of its twelve provinces."

    I had to look it up yesterday, as I too thought it was Holland. I'm no smarter than anyone else, I just know how to use a search. ;)

    Russia namely Siberia because of the oppurtunties there versus here, I have worked with jewelry and gemstones most of my adult life and some of the worlds finest Diamonds and alexandrite comes from there.

    I would like to see Alaska buy Siberia with the money that is in the APFD program and it become part of our state.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    I live in Gods Country, why would I want to live anywhere else? But if I had to choose it would be our passive neighbors to the north, Canada...
    Most of them only hear how loud it sounds, and the rest of us hear everything else - :rolleyes:
