    Good choices.

    I love Croatia...

    And England...

    And New Zealand...

    They only like sexy people there -- We should move, Minty.

    It has the added benefit of being the closest place to Oregon I've ever visited. I love NZ.

    That being said, I think I'd move to Australia.

    That's what I meant. I can remember driving from Auckland to Wellington and thinking I had flown 7,000 miles to basically visit home.

    Hmm, honestly, I find the New Zealand and Australia climate to be completely different. I guess that's because I was in a hotter area of Australia and a Southern (more cool) area in NZ.

    Is this your reasoning too Shape? I'm no expert but Switzerland sounds like a boring place...but I have no knowledge of it what so ever.

    A place that always has sound interesting to me has been Australia. I'm debating whether or not to study abroad there actually.

    No. Not a gun guy at all. I do have a shotgun though.

    Switzerland is hardly boring. What gave you that impression?

    Greek Islands are vastly over rated. Perhaps if all the tourists and greeks were removed first.

    For me either New Zealand (Far from everyone, economic and social freedom high, nice environment, gorgeous).
    or Canada, specifically British Columbia somewhere. I would do either of these moves yesterday if I had the resources to do so. I've been wanting to move for at least 10 years now.

    I'm just not familiar with Switzerland. What are some attractions there? What language do they speak (Swedish isn't a language is it?)?
