What country would you go to?

Suppose you have some cash, and you have decided to leave the country where you are and leave to another country for an undetermined period of time...let´s say the idea would initially be for 3 months, what country would you choose?

I am working for a contractor of Cisco in Costa Rica, this is the first time in my life I´ve ever lived in the same country for more than 4 years and I´ve just had it. I love Costa Rica and I used to love my job, but since late last year it has changed, or actually it hasnt changed at all which has made it extremely boring. So I´ve decided I´m going to quit, my plan initially is to leave for somewhere for around 2 to 3 months and then come back to Costa Rica as I already have a job offer, unless of course I get more interesting job offer in whichever country I choose to go.

I would travel to New Zealand, I have always wanted to visit New Zealand; especially since I have several friends who live there and love it.

I would like to go India a country of Brave and Respectable Kings.

I would second that. 3 of the best weeks of my life were in New Zealand at the beginning of this year. I don't think i'll ever go to a country i'll love more than NZ.

I'd recommend anyone to come to Scotland for the scenery, but not to live for more than a few weeks. You'd need to be a millionaire to be able to afford here. The rate of inflation is too low compared to the living costs, so unless you'd be doing some pretty neat work then i'd avoid coming to the UK at all.

Maybe do a tour of Europe? Seems to be the very in thing for People in the Americas to do at the moment.

As a matter of interest, what nationality are you and what sort of work would you be looking to do?

I'd go the the great country of Texas !

What accent in particular? Personally i find certain accents within the UK quite off putting at times, not just in England or Wales but up here in Scotland too.

If you have examples i'd love to hear them just to see what you mean.

New Zealand, Australia, UK if you can afford it (Orkney if you want space). The US if you're financially stable has a lot of interesting places to live, just don't go to NJ It's dirrrty.

I find it quite sad that Evenhost-PR has been to Orkney in Scotland and i haven't yet i've grown up in this country all my life. As far as i recall, you're from the US Evenhost?

You'll also notice how small the country here is compared to where you're probably from, so there is no excuses for me not seeing Orkney

Oh, i LOVE the aussie accent. It was a great few months over there hearing the Australian girls speaking their bit.

I would completely agree with your southern England accents too. I don't think i really like many English accents, but the accent from the kent area of England (i think) is the one i particularly like. It's just clear and nice to listen to. The london cockney accent is just horrible and painful to listen to.

In Scotland the Glasgow accent is just way way too hard to understand. I say that actually coming from Scotland too. It's just very very strong. If i was to be honest, i like the accent from the Fife/Edinburgh region of Scotland. My local area has two different types, there can be the very broad local accent which just annoys me or there is the clearer Scottish accent which is the one i sport. I was surprised when in Australia at the amount of people that understood me and loved my accent because it was so clear.

In the US, i can't quite pinpoint my favourite as i don't think i have heard enough good accents. My brothers wife is from Oklahoma and i quite like the accent, it's not too bad to listen to. Other areas i quite like would be those from California and New York.

I might also add that just south of America the Mexicans have a cool accent to listen to. As do the Canadians, Italians and Kiwis (New Zealand).

Actually, if someone hadn't mentioned New Zealand i would have probably left a post not only mentioning New Zealand but Canada too. I visisted Canda back in 2006 and loved it there.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to go to Canada or the USA next on my hols, i only say USA because my bro lives there. Canada is for some reason alot cheaper to fly to which immediately appeals to me.

I'm Costa Rican, Work, well primarily I'm not looking to migrate definitively to another country, just for a joy ride, I work in networking, I'm CCNA and on my CCSP track, so if I can get a job in that area that'd be cool..

Now last time I said that, I said I was just coming to Costa Rica to visit, I got a good job offer and ended up staying here for almost 5 years now.
