The 2 places where I'd most like to live:

1. Gunkanjima island



2. Pripyat, Ukraine  (aka Prypiat)





Isn't Pripyat the city abandoned after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986?

I can see the interest in visiting but you say that you would like to live there!! As you know-much better than I-that is not possible!

Don't take D Minor's bait - he has a habit of being 'funny'. ::) ;D

Oh....thanks!! When one has only relatively recently joined a forum it takes time to work out the little idiosynchrosies of members :)

Norway is the most beautiful country I have visited. Every time I have toured(and sometimes camped) there the weather has been either glorious or ok, never prolonged rain, but I guess that I have been lucky?

Favourite part-so far-the Lofoten Islands: absolutely magical chain of incredibly shaped mountains.

I would live there if I could afford it(and spoke Norwegian!).

Thank you (from a Francophile!). The Lofoten island range is fabulous yes!

Snowdonia. Could spend all my spare time in the mountains...
Yes, we have no bananas

I wish I could say the Faeroe Islands, but I've never been there.

Which side?
Favourite place to visit - Plitvice Lakes
Favourite place to live - Ambleside, Cumbria
A day may be a destiny; for life
Lives in but little—but that little teems
With some one chance, the balance of all time:
A look—a word—and we are wholly changed.

Lofoten...looks beautiful. I assume the winters are seriously cold. I am off today to Edinburgh, so am very happy, as long as the weather is good. Rain, wind and that city are regular partners and then it is best to find a good watering hole.

See you folks when I get back.

I liked London and wouldn't mind going back, but I can usually be found vacationing in hot, hot Arizona.

If I could visit anyplace I wanted that I have never been to for a month, it would be Lake Como, Italy.  But I'd have to have an interpreter with me.

Other than that, I like it here in Albuquerque.
