Kifflom112 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'd love to live in a snowy, rainy miserable city - I heard Seattle weather is pretty bad. I love the rain and cold, so probably anywhere in Europe, maybe London. I'd also love to live in Tokyo, Japanese culture is so cool. It is pretty bad there in Seattle. When I actually researched it a while back, I found out that one time they never had the sun poke out of the clouds for two months. Very depressing.

WHAT!? Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Chicago and Detroit are also on my list, the latter being a desire to see all the automobile industry history first hand. Detroit Henry Ford museum is a pretty awesome place to stop if you are into the auto industry. They have tons of famous and classic cars. They also feature old factory equipment from the industrial revolution, steam locomotives, airplanes, and just out side the museum is Greenfield Village. Tons of period buildings, some reconstructed, others were taken from their original location and moved there. It's a cool place to visit if you are into history and technology. Of course you can take the old factory tour in Detroit as well. That usually just involves you with a backpack and some water while you attempt to not contract tetanus. You will likely not see anyone for a good long while poking around that end of the city. Which can be good if you actually don't. Sometimes it can be bad when you actually do. There isn't a lot of what some people would refer to as "police influence" in the abandoned areas. If you want some awesome food check out Slow's Bar BQ. Pizza Papalis in Greek Town is worth a visit to. While you are there you can check out Motor City Casino and ride our monorail to nowhere. Don't forget to get a "Come back to Detroit. Sorry we missed you" t-shirt while your here. Also every visitor gets to kick Kid Rock in the dick at least once. Happy travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddsock Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Within the States, perhaps San Francisco, Boston, or Washington DC. Outside of the states, I would choose perhaps Prague in the Czech Republic, or Xalapa or Veracruz in Mexico. I haven't traveled to any other places outside the US that captivated me as much as those two places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kapone Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I lived in New Jersey once upon a time, dreaming of living in New York City. And so I did, for a little over a year and change. Then I dreamed of living in Miami, thankfully realizing the pros and cons this time around, I settled with living a little outside of Orlando. Possibly moving south of Orlando, but within city limits at the end of the year, as opposed to NE of Orlando, in Winter Park where I am now. Then that should be it. But if I so decide to move again in the distant future, I've eyed Oregon, Arizona, and maybe California. But I'll probably stick with Florida. It's not easy uprooting yourself all the time.

The Henry Ford museum would probably be one of the first places I'd visit. I've saved your tips and advice should I ever get the opportunity to visit Detroit. One thing that concerns me though.... I know it's just certain areas of the city, but dam. The place resembles a f*cking war torn country.

na89340qv0n34b09q340 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 ^ So don't go to the ghetto, I have family that lives in an upper-class neighborhood in Detroit, and they've got a driveway nearly 200 ft long, with green grass and all that good sh*t that rich people have. Not all of Detroit is dangerous, and if you've got a 200 foot long driveway no thief is going to try to break into your house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kapone Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 and if you've got a 200 foot long driveway no thief is going to try to break into your house. I would think the farther your house is from a public road the more likely it is to being broken into. Food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather reside in a busy, populated metropolis than some rural farmhouse or whatever. Unless of course I was armed to the teeth, which is, coincidently, what my friend is, who lives in a rural country farmhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibertyKing Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I always dreamed of living in New York. Since I'm young (8 years old maybe), I'm making maps of it, buying games set in it (My first was Spider-Man 2, on PS2) and I'm following buildings constructions (like the WTC, not on Twitter). I know the name of most skyscrapers of Manhattan. Some people say I'm addicted to New York. I've never been, but I plan to go there someday. I wouldn't even play GTA at all if GTA IV wasn't set in New York... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I<3GTAV Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I've always wanted to live in a penthouse in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, New York, Chicago, or Miami. I always loved the idea of living in a world class city, growing up in a small midwestern suburb. I also want to live in Italy, however, I'm not going through the process of citizenship, so visiting will have to suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil ski Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Just a fair warning to anyone thinking about this place, unless you are a rich ass mofo or in the US military and stationed here (like me), don't even think about living in Hawai'i! It would be damn near impossible to survive out here since cost of living is INSANE!! And you can give up on finding a decent job here, locals have priority over everyone when it comes to jobs (bonus points if you have some Hawaiian blood and went to a Kamehameha high school.). There's a reason why you see a sh*tload of bums downtown and at the parks. Oh and the traffic....worst in the entire nation! But other than that, it's a very awesome place to visit tho! Beautiful and LOTS to do and see here. Just don't think about buying a house and moving here. You're better off living in Miami (which is pretty expensive too) or southern Cali. Actually, southern Cali is my choice. And also Colombia and Germany (why?......because chicks bro.....chicks.. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the farther your house is from a public road the more likely it is to being broken into. Food for thought. I feel silly defending my extended family's home security on a gaming forum, but whatever. The house is along a normal suburban street, at least a couple miles away from any area of Detroit that could be considered dangerous. Their house is among about thirty other houses on the same street, and you'd have to walk up a dark and spooky driveway that even the most macho men would cower in fear at. Besides, I always figured burglars liked breaking into apartments more than any other thing in the world. It seems like every break-in story I've heard has happened in an apartment, but maybe that's just because there are a lot more apartments in big cities. To stay on topic: When I was younger I always liked the idea of buying a lot of land out in the country somewhere, and living a life of self-sustainability. I don't think I'd want to do it anymore, but it would have been a very interesting life. Maybe if I was born in the early 1800s.

Outcast Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Thankfully I am over halfway there to living in my dream places. Ideally I'd keep my small luxury apartment in Canary Wharf, London. Currently looking for a 4+ bedroom house in the country just outside of London but within easy access to the M25 and Heathrow. Also a 3 bedroom apartment in China and my country house is just about complete in Taiwan. Once I settle down with a family I'd also like to purchase a property in La Jolla, San Diego (girlfriend used to live there so I'm pretty familiar with the area) or a nice 3 bed in Beverly Hills. Once I have property in the US then I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raavi Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Is Switzerland any good? I haven't really seen any Swiss people on here. I lived there for 5 months, in Geneva when I was a teenager. That was 7 years ago I believe. Afterwards I've only spent a few days at a time there for business mostly in the Ticino canton and Zürich. First of all it's a magnificantly beautiful country, with generally speaking, nice and friendly people. It's not al snow and cold like a lot people seem to think. Ticino actually has a mediteranian climate. It is also a country of extremes. Oh and guns lots of them. Over to the practical stuff.. It is an expensive country for the average joe, real estate and basics are pretty expensive relatively speaking. But when money isn't an issue, well the sky is the limit. Visit some time, you won't be dissapointed. Edited March 8, 2013 by Raavi – overeducated wonk who fetishises compromise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
