Living in a foreign country

[rubah]

I lived in France for a month, and liked it.

I'm living in Atlanta for the summer, and it feels like a foreign country in some ways...

[o_O]

I grew up in NZ and moved to Australia last year. I don't think it really counts as a foreign country though.

Moving around definitely builds character in a way nothing else does.

If I get into uni I get to live in a French-speaking country for the best part of a year. Awesome

I've only ever lived in Engerland so far though.

I would love to live in Japan for at year or so, but my husband won't go for it. I've never lived outside of California and I probably never will, which is mostly cool with me.

When I was younger, I have lived at a foreign country for the first ten years of my life since my dad was in the air force at the time. Then he retired and that's when we settled in the U.S. :P Though, now I don't think I'd be able to live in a foreign country, but if I could, I'd like to live in Canada, or Asia. It would be fun.

Canada is NOT foreign

I think I could do the Tuscan region in Italy as well, though Italy is a little too laid back for my tastes, what with the afternoon siestas and all. The biggest appeal of Japan, to me, is that it's similar to New York in that there is always places open until really late at night/all night long, though their trains don't run all night which is weird.

Oh man, I love afternoon siestas! Spain actually had the perfect lifestyle for me. Nobody got up before 9AM. A lot of stores didn't seem to open til 10. And right around 3-4PM everything just shuts down and people take naps. xD And then dinner is around 9PM and people stay up til 2 in the morning. It's pretty much the same schedule I'm on now. When I went to Spain I was amazed at how perfectly the Spanish schedule fit with my existing one.

I'd like to live in France for a few months. Maybe my expectations are a little high, but 2 women (Julia Child & Alice Waters) who I admire a ton both went to France, and both had life changing experiences. I want the same thing.

Of course it is. It's foreign to me if you have to bring a visa with you.

I lived in Virginia for six months, and it was amazing. Although I hate to admit it they just seemed to have a much better way of life out there than we do in the UK. To me anyway.

[~*~Celes~*~]

I wanna live somewhere pretty, not too expensive, and where I can enjoy my life to the fullest! And not feel like I have to work just to live.

I guess I still am living in a foreign country - was born in Cyprus, moved to wales and germany then england. THough, british parents so I guess that means. . .

I've lived in the USA for a while on work. It was great, and I wanted to go back, but they didn't have the funding to give me a full scholarship, so I refused.

Hey, my dad's family are from Cyprus! I have a lot of family out there and a house. It's lovely to visit but I doubt i'd live there though.
