My first choice would be Japan, there seems a great spark and a huge individual streak with the Japanese. I feel the Japanese have a good sense of humour.

They're a very interesting people and I'd like to visit their country. But I do wish they'd stop whale-hunting.:( They have an ancient and wise indigenous culture. If you ever go there, check out the standing stones and prehistoric monuments all over the place.
I like living in England, even though I'm Welsh! I like living here because it could become so much better if we build it into something better.

But Haggie, the Japenese have been isoloated from the rest of the world since the 1800's I think. the culture, the language and the customs are good. As for the whalehunting:( it is a food stuff for them cos they are fish eaters.
Do you speak welsh, I always see news reports of Prince Charles talking in the language, but then again haggie he acts as if he owns the place.

I can speak it a bit, better than Prince Charles I hope! But I'm not very good these days because I've lost touch with my Welsh family. The worst one of all is John Redwood, the Welsh Secretary in John Major's govt. He tried to sing Land of My Fathers and he was pathetic!
I know that in a way killing whales is not different to killing anything else, but I can't help feeling there's something irrationally abhorant about it. Japanese history is interesting because they never went through the Industrial Revolution and still had a medieval, pastoral society until the late 19th Century. Then they went through a massive and sudden change into a modern society to become one of the world's great industrial powers almost overnight! I guess that if this hadn't happened then the War in the Pacific in WWII would never have taken place because America would have been dominent. You need two evenly-matched sides for a world war.
Are you kidding, Prince Charles knows a few words for the cameras and thats it. Prince of Wales, my arse......

Whales and dolphins are not fish. They are mammals.
This is one of the most disgusting and inhumane things I have ever seen.

Japan sounds like a good, lush place, I love the look of it and the chicks, BUT, it looks as though it's gonna sink.

I agree, but I won't be watching that vid I'm afraid. There are some things I can't face.

What about Canada, Holland and some parts of africa as well as japan.
Somewhere that this US cultral imperialism isn't infesting the character of the nation.
Russia, I've been there the folks are great and friendly. They have there own identity. Not like others would think.

Some people speak very highly of the small farming communities in the Himalayas. These are some of the few people left in the world who have yet to be drugged up with the modern world. They get so few visitors that when the handful of determined backpackers do arrive at their village they are treated like members of the tribe. There are no hotels in the village; the people just put their guests up in someone's house. Caduceus Magazine is a good place to read travel articles about these kinds of places.

I don't want to live in any nation.
The whole concept of the nation-state is an illuminati/zionist one.
They have arbitrary boarders that totally ignore natural, cultural, climatic and geographic catchment zones, thereby creating misery by forcing people in different ones to live under the same dictated rules and regulations.
When the global elite have gone,
so will their bloody "nations."

Personally, I'd love to have 2 homes.
1 in Italy. Possibly in the wood area os Sicily, where I can easily ride a scooter into town and get some bread and such.
1 in Scotland. More like a vacation, get away from it all home. Most definetly in the Highlands. So beautiful. Truely "God's Country" in my opinion.
