Who plans on living outside of the USA?

police having little powers since the goverment has taken it away

The police in the UK have too many powers where they're not wanted and too few where they're needed.

mawilson,

Just like many non-Americans think they want to live in the USA?

Expectations - reasonable and unreasonable - make a difference .............

....

Many Americans think they want to live in Europe or Australia or wherever

but in reality it almost never works out.

Europe worked out fine for me so we will go back.

My husband is from Panama, and I went down there every other weekend almost for all of 2005 and fell in love with the place If it wasn't for the bills I have here, I definitely would have moved there already. We plan on buying a place there within 5 years to have for retirement, if not sooner. There are a million factors that could send us down there sooner. I definitely know that we will live like kings there that's for sure.

In a couple of years, when we have children I definately want to move back to Europe for some time. I want my children to be able get to know my part of the family in Germany and experience the European culture. I also think the school sytem is better there. If it was after my husband we'd already be there. He lived in Germany for a few years and loves it there.

The wife and i will move to england at some point. Maybe 5 years from now. We want our children (whoa! there. no kids for a couple more years) to have some time growing up in england and lauren wants to know where i come from better.

Wes wants to stay here. I wouldn't mind giving it a go over there.

I guess one of the beauties of a multi-national relationship is choices, eh?

We will be heading back home to Ireland. We hope to get a look at some places, check for jobs and everything else when we take a trip back in May . We intend to maybe move by the end of the year or the start of next year.

The wife loves it back home, the whole place apart from the cities. I don't mind it here at all but there is a lot back home too that I miss.. I just get the feeling this place is too.. copy & paste for my liking, houses, shops, roads, cars, trucks and people. It isn't real, in a way it's all too square, green and watered with a sprinkler system.. if anyone knows what I mean ?

Our plan is while we're still young we have time to move back, I intend to maybe open up a wee computer shop the wife will open her own wee online store selling crafts and natural products. We can make some babies and maybe build our own house that isn't made of cardboard

Well thats the idea, assuming I don't get killed by one of the many 90 year old drivers here in Florida.. that like to make a U Turn on a one way street while grinning like some crack head at ye as they drive the past.. into oncoming traffic! it's just too much for me..

Amed and I both want to end up in Paris, eventually. The issue is that neither one of us has citizenship there, so we'd have to go about procuring visas. We've both done this before, as students, but we want to settle down there for a while, so we'll need to go a different route.

Amed talks about retiring in Algeria, which I don't think I'd mind, as long as we had some money in the bank.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about moving back to Paris. I think it'll be 3-4 years before we're at the point that we can seriously consider going back. Meanwhile, we're enjoying our time in the US and trying to gain education and experience that will make our move easier.

I hope that one day Jake and I will get a chance to live back in england. We'll wait till we're more fincially stable over here (USA) and then maybe. Its definately an option to move back to england, of even somewhere new! I grew up in different countries so im a nomad, no place is really home! Some thing appeals about raising children in england more so than over here in the USA. Maybe im biased but i think education is better over there, i like GCSE's and A-Levels not the High School Diploma thing they have here! And having attended university in the UK and here, i prefer the UK!

we'd love to have property in both countries, so we can move back and forth when we want.

Actually, that's what Joel and I have talked about too.

My husband and I would like to spend half our time between the States and Canada when his son is older. I own a condo in Nova Scotia that can be left unattended for long periods of time and my parent's home in Newfoundland will be mine some day. My husband and step-son love Newfoundland. We love visiting there in the summer months. It's hard to decide where to live at times because I love certain area of Canada and the US. I think a 5th wheel is what we need and than that way I get to live every where I want.

I know exactly what you mean. A lot of North America is like that (both Canda and the US). In order to see any originality, you have to go to the older cities, and the older parts of cities to see it. Anything since say after WWII is all the same. One house after another all the same cookie cutter neighbourhoods, with Stepford wives and kids and dogs, and blah blah blah...not a lot of personality really. Mostly the newer cities and 'burbs are like that. And big shiny downtown cores are too, just taller.

Older southern cities here are nice I think. Big huge plantation homes that were built like in the 1700s that have somehow managed to last. And architecture with some character and a feeling of history to it. And there are some parts of some cities where you can see the Old Europe and Old England influences. And you can feel it.

I imagine Florida is all new though because every 10 years or so a huge hurricane blows through and knocks everything down so they have to build it all up again. Its just easier to do it the same over and over and over again.

yeah...I know what you mean.
