	Put an end to popups!

You guys might want to think your Mexico picks... I've been there... and there's a reason 3 million illegals enter the US a year

I put it at #10, and I'm assuming I can muster enough cash to live comfortably down there.

Hmm... perhaps Trinidad Tobago would have been a better choice...

Yeah, why aren't, more people pickin' tropical places? Paradises?

I've also been to Mexico, many times, and I like it. Where did you go to Sava?

Tijuana, Acapulco, Cancun...

great places if you're an American tourist... not so great if you have to live there

TJ sux...filthy little hole

Acapulco is to expensive

Cancun is too crowded

That's why I said I would go to Cabo

My top choice would be Canada.
The last choice would be the hardest to come up with, as there are so many places I hate... I'd say Brazil - too damn hot there. I like cold weather.

Although I wonder, why would I be forced out of the country? I guess if they restart the draft, I may have to pull one of Clinton's tricks...

Cancun wasn't too crowded when I went... in September... 3 or 4 years ago. But if I'm going to live in a country, I want to be able to send my kids to school, have good health care, a relatively non-corrupt government and legal system, and a good job in computers.

1. There isn't a school in Mexico I'd want to send my kids (future kids)
2. I sure as hell don't want to ever get sick in Mexico or break a leg or something
3. I sure as hell don't want to get arrested in Mexico
4. I don't know much about the Mexican job market, but I doubt the country has a thriving technology industry

You may want to look up MtG's address before you go any father on the subject of Tijuana...

I liked Tijuana... I just wouldn't want to live there

Is there any justification for placing Ethiopia, which is a really nice place, beautiful and with a rich history (and great for westerners), third on your list of "least wanted" countries? What possible reason could you have for this?

My only real aversion to large amounts of Africa is just the temperature...mind you, if there was decent air conditioning in the places I was I would be fine

There is nothing wrong with Mexico. Esp. if you have money and live in a tourist town on the beach. You can live in style then.

And the donkey shows in Tijuana are not to be missed

	Got spare money?

I'm curious- quite a few people have put Australia in their top ten most desired places to live. As a recent immigrant, I'm intrigued by the reasons other people would have for wanting to live here- especially the people who have never been.

With regard to the ones wanting to live in a 'tropical paradise'- you might want to reconsider, unless you're assuming you have unlimited supplies of cash. For anyone who has been to say, St. Lucia, or Noumea, or Papeete, recall if you would the cost of living, the amount of money you have to pay for basic foodstuffs. There's a reason people in Great Britain, for instance are asked to bring out food/clothes/cooking utensils in suitcases by relatives in Dominica, St. Lucia, Barbados- and that's the cost of buying the goods in the Caribbean, or in the Pacific.

Still, as someone who is fortunate to live in the 'Lucky Country' (lucky if you're Kerry Packer or Lachlan Murdoch) let me extend a warm welcome to you- if you like venomous snakes (9 out of 10 of the world's most poisonous live here), death dealing jellyfish (the box and irukandji), poisonous spiders (redback, huntsman and funnelweb), interesting diseases spread by mosquitoes (Ross River Disease) or bats (Japanese encephalitis), bush fires, soil made useless by high salinity, a tax rate of 49%, and human devouring crocodiles (also mistaken for politicians).

But I do like it here, really...
