Went there at the age of 12 for vacation with family and stood in Punta Arenas (I believe that's what it was called)...awesome place!

Apparently you get an annual dividend check (from oil) just for living there, which exceeded 2 grand back in 2006.

Puntarenas. Yeah we drove back up along the coastline and ended up there before heading back to San Jose. Pretty cool beaches.

Would live in Canada or west coast USA.

New Zealand's good, thought I would rather live in Austraila but I've heard from a few people who've moved over there that the cost of living (rent, food, cars etc) is way higher than NZ and the US. Some family who visited AU said it's not a good place for people with black hair because they think you're an Arab and they hate them lol

Quality of life, tax-free salary, and some of the nicest architecture in the world.

Bonus!! I had no idea. In all seriousness, I love the wildlife and I love cold Winters. Two grand per year just for doing what I do sort of sweetens the deal. Though I imagine the cost of living is crazy.

I always wanted to live in Alaska, but since the thread says different "country", then i'd just kill myself.

I heard New Zealand is a nice place to live...but if you guys want to compare the country you live in now to any other country in the world I'd suggest a cool website called : If It Were My Home dot com

I think I would go to Germany. I have had teachers and co workers that were stationed there when they were in the military, and all of them said they didn't want to leave. I also work with a German guy who only moved here in the last 5 years or so, and he makes it sound like it's great over there.

1,000 years from now, posters on UWW.Boxingscene.com would ask which planet would you like to live on. Mr. Kevin XI, would say, "I'd hate to live anywhere else other than Mars".

Oh and UWW: Universe Wide Web.
