The BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DK II]

I think Switzerland would be nice.  I also think Mykonos which I had a chance to move to would be great.  I can't remember the name of the little island place of Brazil but that looked great to.  I love Hawaii thats why I'm here.  It is beautiful and the weather and air is great.  I can put up with the little shit here.  I lived in Vegas for 2 years and loveit there too.  In fact if I ever leave here thats where I am going back too.  I live good there and make allot fo money and it cost nothing.

Switzerland is too fucking expensive! You would not want to pay 30 bucks for a pizza, would you?

To me, the best place in the world is Japan.

Great food, great people! Nice girls and everyone is smaller than me!

Shashant constantly gets intothreads that he has no idea what they are about or can relate too.  You are right on everythign you say about him, thats the sad part.  India sucks and he lives in a shithole town.  He lives to hate. Its the only way he can survive where he is.  On here he can hide behind the computer.  At home he gets beat up for being a smartass.  He is living a dream being on here.

hahaha i think your living a dream being here..nobody listens to your 'celebrity crap' in real life and you come here act as if you know everybody...11,000 posts does show that your living a bigger dream than me being on here

2 WORDS LAS VEGAS

Great place to visit, terrible place to live.  I used to own two condos there, and I can tell you it is miserably hot in the summer, and extremely cold in the winter.  Not to mention it is in a dessert.  Not my cup of tea.  Hawaii is the best place to live, BTW.

Seems to me the people that always want to go to SoCal are generally the ones who have never been there.  Yes some parts are like a paradise on earth.  Some cities are almost like a movie or Tv show but what you guys see in Cali is just that a tv show.  To live in these beach towns you must be rich or killing yourself with debt that you wont be able to stay long.  Take the show Laguna beach, first off it isnt filmed in Laguna it is filmed in neighboring Manhattan Beach.  The tv show Bev Hills 90210 was not filmed at Bev hills high it was filmed in Torrance at one of the 4 high schools in that area, point being dont believe every thing you see,read etc.....   Dont let me get started on Venice, all these areas were at one time the place to be but we are talking 30-40 years ago when most guys on here parents were growing up.   Visit for an extended period first............

Boston Legal and Las Vegas are also shot in Manhattan Beach.  The studios there were built there back in the early 90's are the new Hollywood.  many other shows are shot there.  I grew up in the tree section in Manhattan Beach and Hawthorne.  I go back now and tourists are all over the place.  I liked living there but Hawaii is just awesome.  Plus, you never need a wetsuit here.  The water gets so cold in LA.

Kev, I love Vegas.  I lived there from 98 to 2001.  It is unreal hot during the summer but unless you are laying out by the pool you are inside a nice cool A/C building.  I would never want to work outside in Vegas.  That would be horrible.  And it is cold there in the winter.  I think it was 1999 when it snowed on the strip.  I got a call from my friend telling me it was snowing so we went down to see.  It was weird seeing all the snow on the strip and casinos.  I was there during the big flood too.  The actually closed Caesars Palace a day to replace the carpet.  Floods are going to get worse there too now that most of west Vegas is built up.  But you are right, nothing like Hawaii.

I should have called you when I was putting a new refrigerator on my second floor unit.  Being 1/8 Pake, I hauled it in via a hand truck myself and my 63 year old dad.

I have to agree. Although Malibu can be pretty nice. I fell in love with a beach house there on PCH a few years ago, ...but the idea of getting into the water in Malibu doesn't exactly appeal to me. There are a ton of beautiful places all over the world, but I am too North American to live in many of those places. If I had to cast my vote... polar bear conditions aside... I'd have to say Canada... but then again I'm biased. When you take ALL factors into considerations, ie: standard of living, moral climate, racial climate, freedoms, strategic positioning, future prospects... etc., Canada really tops the list IMO (which btw was also shared by the United Nations many years in a row)

If I could live anywhere, I'd live in the best place to live in the world is somewhere like Southern California, either San Diego or LA. There is mile after mile of golden, sandy beaches, a perfect tropical climate, palm trees, the best clubs, bars, shops, everything. Plus the Mecca VENICE BEACH AND GOLDS

California is the place to be and it RULES.

And Vegas and Miami of course

Hell lets face it, most of the cities in the US just suck. Washington is cold and has the highest the crime rate in the US, New York is cold and smoky with gang violence, San Francisco is full of gays, New Orleans has been wiped out and it just a dump thanks to Katrina, Chicago is cold and windy and dangerous, Boston is small, expensive and there's nothing there, Orlando only has disney land, Seattle is as cold as Canada and is just a little decaying port town

Yes & no. Obviously it also depends on what you're looking for and age. Agree on Boston, Chicago, NY, Washington, etc. but you're way behind in your perceptions on Cali. Now it sucks in many areas thanks to high real estate and traffic congestion, because everyone thought like you and moved there over the last couple of decades. 15-20 years ago you'd have been right. San Diego's the best big city there, very nice, the main drawbacks being rents and real estate and a more conservative social climate, but it's still nice besides that and some heavy but not unbearable traffic.

LAs got some upsides like the weather and Venice beach but like NYC also has real negatives related to quality of life, which is why it's hated by many. Both are huge cities that might appeal to a 20-something then can get wearing later in life. San Fran's nice but way too expensive.

Vegas & Miami are nice in some ways and unpleasant in others. In Vegas there's no city center to go to, and the types of people living there lack any history with the place, lots of transplants and transients, can leave something to be desired. Same in Miami-lots of transplants and burnouts, not a lot of history, plus there's rising crime and the weather's not so pleasant some of the time, with high humidity. Good jobs in Miami aren't that plentiful IMO.

Canada you can freeze your ass off with brutal artic cold, but on the other hand the economy there's been much better than the US for years now, Toronto especially. And the infrastructure's better than many US cities.

If you want to party, Thai islands and Goa India amongst others in the winter along with the Winter Music Conference in Miami in March. NYC, Montreal, Ibiza, Amsterdam, Mykonos and Istanbul in the summer.
