Yeah, there were times when I was there that precipitation never made landfall because it was moving sideways

I'd love to live in New Zealand......somewhere where life is going at a slower pace.....
 

I could never live in NZ.  Too many of those bothersome little hobbitsiz running around

That was the first thing I thought of too.  "Hey!  It's the Shire!"  
(I mean, heck, I do see round doors going into underground houses!)

America is my first choice. I would still like to visit and spend some time in England, Scotland, Ireland, Norway and Denmark. Who knows, maybe I would love the homelands of my ancestors and never leave. Got to get over there one of these days.

I haven't decided if I should move to Atlantis or Lemur (Mu for those that are locals)...

Now it came to my mind that starting this thread was not a good idea because people may now start to think about moving and if they cannot then they may feel a bit bad. Sorry people!

North, Middle or South America?  Sorry, I had to.
Anyway, I'm too stiff socially to live anywhere amidst the latin/south European liveliness, even though it might do good for me. I don't like superlatives, continuous talking and people who can't spend a couple of days alone in silence.

So you want to avoid women then? 
 

The one people are trying to get into, not out of.

Some people are unhappy if they can't control other musician's thoughts. They do not understand that musicians are people. They are different from each other because they are people. They make the music they want to make, even if it is not what someone wants to hear. That is good. If that makes someone unhappy, they should probably get over it.

My line actually came from a musician, whose book I am reading right now!

I'm happy right here in  North America. I've been to  other countries and each time it feels good to get back here. I live in the north east part of the country..Lancaster County Pennsylvania. I has a great combination of small mountains and scenery. Some of the most fertile land on earth. The seasons here change a lot. Right now we're buried under 26" of snow. It took me a day to get it all cleared away. This is the coldest it gets all year. Things gradually get warmer now. I could actually go off fossil fuel and use the heat pump yesterday since it was 34F during the day. This year we had 10F at night in January for a few days. In another two months the temps are usually much much higher. We usually get enough of everything, enough rain, enough sun, enough cold.
 
While I live in a country setting I can be in any one of the large cities in a short time. Philadelphia, New York, Washington DC, Baltimore are all short hops from my house...and you can actually fit two large cars going opposite directions on the road together. Not like some of those cow paths in other countries. I can be at the eastern shore in two hours. Anything I want to buy is less than a half hour away.
 
The music- I think we are abundant with talent here, talent just isn't being promoted. The only music being promoted is garbage ( mostly) I say that as an old guy. All the big acts visit this area . I play in irish sessions and I have my pick of three within a 30 mile radius of me. There's good music everywhere. There's also bad music everywhere.
 
As of this writing I am free to do  anything I want to do and not need to worry about some crazy rules. In the cities here it is more strict. This may all change.
 
I think Germany , Norway, and certain places in Europe are beautiful, but we also have a large variety of places here in America. Mountains are beautiful but you have to drive through them and you can't grow anything on them. I guess everything has good and bad :)
 
I admit I'm probably biased since I've lived here all my life. Lots of places look great for the first week or two, after that......you might see through the makeup.
