I am still here... lurking... If I can't take to the time to post something sensible, I usually just read.

I was told that it's better to keep silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt - but that doesn't stop me!!!

Ellie's never been out of the country at all.

Has anyone lived in the Netherlands?

Worked in Germany, England, and Kalifornia.

I've lived in California, which qualifies as another country.

Indeed, if you're not American.

This has been a long thread but when I read this post, the first country that came to my mind is Paris. Maybe I just like the laid-back culture. Also, it depends on what you are looking for.

Paris is a city. :-D And the French are far from laid-back.

If you want laid-back in France go to Brittany or the Southern Provence regions...not Paris.

I currently live in the Stuttgart, Germany are. I have lived here for nearly ten years and love it. The Germans can be gruff but once you get to know a little of the language there is no problem. Cost of living is a bit higher here compared to parts of the US. Other great places are Padua, Italy...

G'Day, After all the governments just giving $$ to banks, I lost the plot and buggered off to the UAE where I pay NO tax. I've been here since 2009. Everyone has different situations, but I my take-home pay (what I get in my back pocket) quadrupled. Only draw back is the 140 degf temperatures I have to endure right now, but the winters are grand.

I was in the UAE in 2010. They are really building up their infrastructure...petrol profits.

Is anyone living in Thailand?
