What a strange name you have.

 

Anyway what city to live?  I would prefer to live in the country if I could. A little house beside a clear lake, a few mountains, a natural forest and good internet.  Nearest neighbors would be a 1/2 mile away.  With a well stocked shop no more than 1 mile away.

 

Why?  Because cities are not great places to live. The countryside is better.

royceH:

Picture the Gobi Desert.  And that's the countryside where I am.

But I like it.

royceH:

Yes, there's a reservoir on the outskirts of town where you can usually see old fellas dangling a line but I've never seen anyone catch anything.

It was the same when I lived in Qingdao..lots of people fishing but in two years of watching them I never saw anyone catch a fish.

Just thinking about this I realise that KM now brings water down from Siberia and it empties into this reservoir.  Perhaps some of those lovely big boneless fish might make the journey too.  Think I'll check that out when the big freeze is over.

I had a fishing holiday in Hunan once. it was awesome. 8kg grass carp that fought stronger than anything else I have caught. I will go back there to fish. Thats for sure.

Whereabouts in Hunan, Alan? My better half is from there. I love to go swimming in the lake there and the food culture is wondrous. So positively wondrous I could flip out my wrist when I say how wondrous it is.

 

I am an honorary Hunanese.

I suppose you mean China, given that's the trend on here.  Nowhere.  DaLi.  Dali's not a bad spot.  And they sell great beer in a joint called 'Bad Monkey'.

But my real answer would be Halliday's Point, aka Blackhead.  It's about twenty minutes north of Forster/Tuncurry on the mid NSW Coast.  Pretty much heavenonearth.

 

royceH:

Oh yeah....you've got a really strange name.

I wanted to go last Aug. To Dali, but it never happened. Will do it in the near future.

Just curious - why specifically Hallidays Point? when there are so many other small coastal towns just like it all over the country...

royceH:

Proximity to Forster/Tuncurry, where my parents live.  It's just far enough away to dodge the tourists during holiday periods.  And the Blackhead Bowling Club is great.

But granted, there are many other places like it.  Not in China, though.

Your name unique, to say the least.

 

I'd live on Nantucket. But since I'm not a millionaire, I content myself with short excursions to the Philippines. Palawan is the nicest place I've found there so far. Good fishing there.

Hong Kong, it's like China without the mainlanders. Though I'd want to be making six figures US if I lived there.

laowaigentleman:

I think you could cut it ok there, dude. I always pine for the place for six months after leaving but then I put on the white hat and realize that I'm better off living here on the cheap and taking my money in.

Hong Kong is filled with the worst kinds on mainlanders though. Wives of corrupt officials sucking up piles of trickets to show to their chinless wonder friends. Na-ah-ah sty! surprise

Cities are overrated. If money and education are not a problem, then I would happily live alone in the hills.

Neptune.   or Reykjavik.      Seriously though?  I dunno.  I could tell a couple of the nicest places I've spent time in, but not sure I would want to go back and live there forever.

 

Isla de la Juventud, Cuba

Camotes Islands, Philippines

Palawan (coast NE of PP)

Venice

Central Alaska
