Nice bump. I've been doing a little work in Spain (it's probably over now) and could see myself spending a year or two there. Feels like a more modern Italy, but that's just a quick impression.

I'm torn between Switzerland, because it's such a breathtaking country; Vienna, Austria or Budapest, Hungary, because they are beautiful cities.
Germany is great too. I got to spend New Years 89 into 1990 on top of the Berlin Wall at the Brandenburg Gate. That was one hell of a party, needless to say. The only bad thing about Germany is they don't take kindly to Auslander (foriegners), at least those who want to live there.

Sweden! I've lived there before, and I loved it. Plus, I speak Swedish, so that's handy.
Denmark's also very cool.

Germany. I was stationed there for a total of 6 years (two tours). I really don't want to live any where but the USA, but I would enjoy another extended stay in Germany.

Yeah, that could help. I do quite a lot of work in Sweden and while I don't speak much Swedish (or should say understand much) I've only encountered two people I needed to communicate with who didn't speak English better than me (a bike mechanic and a laundry attendant)! But it would certainly be a better experience to speak Swedish. I do like the country, but the weather (especially in the south, oddly enough) and the insane cost of living would probably scuttle any long-term plans for habitation.dancingbarefoot said:

I'd like to go to Slovenia. My sister went there with my grandma a long time ago and said it was beautiful. We have relatives there that still keep in touch from time to time.

I have a personal fondness for Eastern Europe. My entire heritage is Eastern European and visiting is just like stepping 20 to 40 years in the past. Everything tends to be cheap, there's always good food to found and of course there is good beer. I still have a bottle of East German beer (Wernesgruner) stowed away since 1991. I have it for posterity sake, simply because you'll never see something labeled again as "East German". I remember on my visit to Budapest, getting 12 bottles of East German beer and a 750ml bottle of Polish vodka for about 52 cents at the time. Talk about cheap!

I lived in several German cities, from metro areas like Stuttguart to backwaters like the little 2700 population bug I was in when I left.
I completely enjoyed my time there and used it as a base to explore all of western Europe.
My suggestion; If you want to see Germany, you might not want to put it off too long. Europe is changing.
Cheers,

Sharing borders with Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary and the Czech Republic would give lots of great travel opportunities.
Time for a geography lesson Mikey, before you drown.
I think we all know what you meant to say.

Do I have to work for a living, or am I independently wealthy? If I have to work, I suppose Germany, because they probably are efficient people.
If I don't have to work, then Italy, preferably near the Med. Sea.
