h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I rather like living in Italy, despite everything, although I'd much rather move to a bigger town than the one I live in. Rome is probably the ideal choice, although I'd really like to move to Bologna, where the people are a lot nicer.

Tropical paradise doesn't do it for me... no telly, no clubs, no bookstores, no drama!

Australia sounds like a nice option, though. Beaches AND metropolitan life. Whoa!

ok, you're boring!

yes, you're right, australia IS rather paradise - fantastic expanses of open spaces, beaches, forests, hills (i despair at calling piddling little 2km peaks 'mountains' after a recent trip to the andes!) and wondrous flora and fauna. oh, and nice people!

but i did rather think rome one of my most 'livable' cities on the same trip. and the cinque terra. and barcelona. and bucelas, near lisbon...

cheers

astroboy : )

Italy is all in all quite livable, with the exception of Milan (and it still doesn't get to the level of madness of, say, London). Australia remains a dream destination, in case I become a famous book author and I can move abroad and just send my stuff in...
