Well I guess aside from one post, everyone pretty much wants to live someone on this marble…
Somewhere well above the Mason-Dixon line, with access to a good music scene. Someone mentioned Montreal (I’ll learn how to type with the accent mark sometime), and, from my limited experience there, it sounds like it might be a nice place for me.
Anywhere there isn’t bugs - I hate creepy crawlies. So where I live now is good for 6 months of the year. I could never live in a climate where there are bugs year round.
Not necessarily Muldoon. There is an opal-mining town in the north of South Australia (Coober Pedy) where most of the inhabitants live in ‘dug-outs’, or underground houses. They are delightfully cool in the searing desert heat, and while some are no more than just holes in the ground, others are quite palatial and boast every mod-con known.
I personally think it would be lovely to have natural rock walls, but I don’t want to have to live in Coober Pedy to do so. 
Ithaca New York is the greatest town on Earth, IMO, and I’ve been all over. Utne Reader’s Most Enlightened City in America, it’s beautiful all year round, has great access to art, music, film, theatre, great restaurants, access to the resources of an Ivy League university, and is centrally isolated.
::SIGH::
Speaking as someone who was born in Ithaca, I will fully endorse the fact that it is a very pretty…
…However it is also a frozen hell in winter time, along with much of the rest of upstate ;). If you’re one of those bizarre freaks of nature that actually rejoices in such abominations as skiing and ice-skating, more power to ya :p. But it ain’t for me.
Despite numerous flaws, I remain sold on my present environs.

According to this survey, Melbourne,* Australia is the best place in the world for expatriates to live. Vancouver, Canada comes in second place, and Perth, Australia third.
I live in Perth, incidentally. 
- Must. Resist. Urge. To make. Joke. About Victoria.
We’eeeell, I was going to refrain from boasting that Melbourne is considered one of the world’s most ‘liveable’ cities, but seeing as you’ve brung it up Narrad…
Melbourne rocks. And any Vic jokes Nazza will be met with the utter disdain they deserve…seeing as we are so cool, we can do that ya know…
(Now if I could just manage to find an underground house in my wonderful hometown, I’d be coolly rockin’ too!! )
(Haven’t seen any Sydneysiders in this thread yet…does that mean they don’t reckon Sydders is all that grouse afterall???
Visited Perth in 83. Seemed like a very laid back city. Didn’t understand everything closing up on the weekends though…
You visited Perth in 1983 DLurker? Was it even ‘discovered’ then???
(Hey, we Melburnians aint fussy about who we hang shit on…WA will do if the NSWelshpersons aren’t available… )
Judging from the colour of the Yarra, Melbore-nians are equally unfussy about WHERE they shit.
DLurker, everything closes up so we can all go to the beach, of course. 
More seriously, the strict regulation of shop trading hours in WA will FINALLY be phased out in the near future (thanks to pressure from the National Competition Council, not the State Government).
** Narradv** For a Marine on shore leave, it was bloddy hell trying to get drunk… Didn’t have much interest in going to the beach… Mostly becuase it was July.
I have no idea where that ** v ** came from…
I really should get these keys fixed… yeah that’s it. It’s the keys…
