If You Weren't Here, Where Would You Be?

[Farang99]

Malaysia

Cambodia

Indonesia

in that order

[ChrisY1]

If not married .......living and cruising on board a 40'+ yacht somewhere in the Pacific......I say "if not Married" as my wife just has to look at the sea to get sea sick!

[maderaroja]

Argentina

[Loptr]

Costa Rica for me. Not cheap though and does not have the same variety of food compared to all the dishes you can get here. T

. Food Sucks, if I ever see another Black Bean, il $&@&.

I believe you will find that aroz y frijoles are the staple of diet in most Central / South American countries... If you don't like the food, might be best to avoid latin America altogether... As for Costa Rica, I like the central valley and the east coast around Limon, but the northwest coast has been invaded by too many gringos searching for the eternal summer... Kind of like Thailand, but you don't hear them belly ache about the place as much as here...

My Thai Wife and I live Maui, Hawaii 7 mos.

We live in our BKK condo 5 mos each year.

Visit Her family in Nong Khai. But love BKK.

It's a good "mix" of quiet & sane [vs] organized chaos.

[godden]

In bed with a hoty.

[weegee]

Probably pushing up Daisies....

[micmichd]

Without Thailand I would have gone to Khatmandu, Nepal.

Have any of you been to the places you say you would go? Just wondering if you are all speaking from experience or hearsay. Seems most of you have not included that which is making this a dreadfully boring thread with people just rattling off country names. Maybe some actual information would spruce things up.

Been to Hawaii twice. Afook is correct, this place is paradise. Always a pleasant warm temperature, when it rains, it is just a little and then sun again. It is clean, beautiful, awesome restaurants, has gorgeous beaches. I hear that crime has risen a bit since I was there 25 years ago. But too expensive for a mere pauper like me to retire there. Aloha.

[mlmcleod]

Panama! No more money exchange fees! They use the US dollar as their currency!

[Moonlover]

Probably in a bar back in the uk because couldnt afford heating costs.

If you couldn't afford the heating costs, you probably couldn't afford to be in a bar either!

Belize right next door to Mexico small country immigration easier cheap living and from Mexico cheap airfare back to the States

If I weren't here, then I'd be there, now, wouldn't I? Silly question.

If I were 30 years younger, I'd like to spend several months a year in south-west India, Kerala state. Nice beaches, very laid back for the most part, cheap. Usual Third World hassles, and food variety limited, plus alcohol difficult to buy, but the locals are generally friendly towards westerners and don't interfere. A beach bum's life there is not too bad.

At my current age, I'd like to go back to my country and see out my years, but for reasons I won't go into now, it would be too difficult. Here is by far the best alternative I can think of.

Yes, I have been in the valley that scratched heaven and is now destroyed.

I was there in 1969, and now maybe I will never go there again.

Maybe the Gods made love there and crashed the bed, what do I know...

Farewell Khatmandu mon amour, still there in my dream.

Split my time between world class islands and Paris, but it would take more money than I have.
