Sydney, Australia because the ladies and because it's been titled the best city in the world, plus many other things. Tokyo would be in the top ten.

Zurich, or anywhere in the French Riviera gets my pick as well.
I pick these locations largely due to the beautiful environment and access to some of the best roads anywhere in the world.
Ra5a, Hong Kong is a great city to be in, but it does feel crowded and small at times.

I'm a hardcore freeskier (or at least I would like to be ) so I'll have to go with "The Rockies" or maybe the French/Austrian alps. I would spend the summers beating the .... out of my car on the alp roads. :cool2:

Ra5a,
Just be happy you werenät there at the wrong time.
I used to live in Paris when Abu Nidal and his gang terrorised everybody in the late 80's. It really sucks!

That's very unfortunate, about Instanul.
Fortunately, things are safe here on the IOM for the time being...although it's rumoured that the al-quada (sp?) had bank accounts here..:bigeyes:
I also bought shares in HSBC Holdings on the 14th...they fell 40p a share on the day of the bombing.

Hi Ra5a
I like to study languages, they have to be useful of coarse. I m still taking English classes nowadays.
But you are right about those French speaking people They speak too fast most of the time, but anyway it is a quite useful language. Maybe it is because in Belgium we have quite a few regions where French is the main language. Although the main language is Dutch/Vlemish (that's theoretically) 'cause if you encouter somebody from Brussels or from the Ardennes, you will see that they just don't know any word in Dutch or that they refuse to speak it:mad: And that is the majority (that's reality). Like I have said before, if I would ever have the luck to move to the Ardennes, I want to be able to speak French decently
About the jumble (rommelmarkt) : You can buy all sort of crap there. Old furniture, books, army material etc... But you can also buy fresh vegetables and fruit. Many years ago, you could even buy animals over there, but that is forbidden now. It is every sunday morning and it ends at noon. It is just a jumble and somehow it became a bit famous, maybe because a jumble is quite a rare thing nowaday?
I just mentioned the jumble thing, because like you have said earlier on, you don't live that far away.
Take Care mate
