If not here then where?

[mstakenidentity]

Last night I had a dream in which the government decided the solution to the violence in Melbourne at present was to ban all white people living there. Anyone white was to be re-housed in any place around the world that they chose.

So I thought I'd ask, regardless of where you live or the colour of your skin- if you were told you could no longer live where you do but could go anywhere else, where would you pick?

The moon. I hear that nobody else lives there.

If I could stay in Victoria, I'd move out to Wallan in a heartbeat, or down to Dromana.

If I had to go interstate, I'd be torn between Tasmania and Queensland.

And if I had to move out of the country altogether, I'd probably pick Canada.

If I had to be out of Melbourne, then I'd move to Tasmania. Otherwise, Canada.

Somewhere that had fulfilling work lined up for both of us.

Realistically, probably Geelong for the football and close-to-his-family aspects... or Cairns, for the same reasons for my family.

Overseas... perhaps Italy. Although the Canada answer of others would be appealing politically.

I suppose the answer's obvious for me, isn't it? I don't know, one day I'm reasonably sure I'm going to completely and utterly lose my temper with the eleven million and three things about Oxford that seriously get on my nerves, but the day isn't here quite yet.

Great question!

I'd seriously consider moving to the very edge of the exclusion zone, just to prove a point. Build a house right outside the wire fence or something.

Otherwise, Tasmania rocks.

Adelaide ? Although that feels like cheating, because I grew up there and have friends and family there still.
Back to Glasgow (or Edinburgh) ? Maybe, although as pretty as it looks covered in snow, I'm not sure how well I'd re-adapt to the more indoors lifestyle.

Actually, I think there are lots of places I could live in pretty happily, although some of them I've only spent a few days in - Stockholm or Copenhagen (again with the cold winters, though), Berlin, Verona, Cambridge, maybe even London (although it's more in the "nice place to visit, wouldn't want to live there" category).

Oh, and maybe Beijing or Shanghai, although they'd take longer to properly adapt to, I think ...

Portree, Isle of Skye. Or Port Righ, Eilean a'Cheo if you like it that way. Bring it on.

If staying in Victoria, either Dromana or somewhere along the Great Ocean Road.

If interstate, I'd lean towards the Gold Coast.

If we had to leave Australia, I'd either go for London or Tokyo.

NYC or Melbourne. I'd welcome it if someone told me I could no longer live where I do, it's dismal.

Within Australia: Tasmania. It's awesome.

Outside: Vancouver, Canada. I think...

[lena-supercat.livejournal.com]

London if we could afford it, or Boston. Or France, or Spain, or elsewhere in England, or possibly Italy, though I'd have to learn Italian first. Or New Zealand, though that has the same problems as Australia in being too far away from the rest of the world.

If I had to stay in Australia for work or other reasons, then probably Sydney - Tasmania is pretty, but Hobart would feel too small for me these days.

I'll be boring and say Sydney. I'm a city girl and I go there so often I feel like a local. Hobart id aslo awesome. If OS I'd go London as I've got family there and I'd be only one cheap Ryan Air flight away from all the awesome places in Europe.

Hm.

Toronto, Canada or somewhere in the Margaret River region, WA.

Two extremes. I know.
