But yeah, at the moment I live in LA and I keep coming back to my particular neighborhood, which was great when I was a punk kid and great as a single guy and amazingly great as a parent of two toddlers. <BR/><BR/>The air is clean (unlike most of the LA basin), the parks are plentiful, the restaurants are great (plenty of fairly priced places with some of the best food in the world, from all over the world), and I'm in a walking neighborhood where lots of people work at home, so there really is "walking in LA."<BR/><BR/>Culture is what you want it to be. I don't care about a lot of official downtown culture (I'd rather listen to symphonies on my iPod while walking the dog), but having neighbors who do interesting things and can be trusted with the kids -- that's priceless.<BR/><BR/>Also, I rent right now, although I'm ready to buy when houses cost something like they used to six years ago: $125,00, as opposed to $800K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-62216385989464778262007-05-21T05:35:00.000+01:002007-05-21T05:35:00.000+01:001.

I have read in our local paper that Florida will not experience a real estate crash because every baby boomer in the world is going to move to Floria when they retire. <BR/><BR/>I have to assume that the posters here are not baby boomers. <BR/><BR/>If you are a baby boomer and reading this post, please move to Florida as quickly as possible. Don't put it off a minute longer. There are plenty of new, vacant houses and condos ready for you.<BR/><BR/>The illegal construction workers, who lived 20 to a house, have moved out and those houses are vacant. Fortunately, the police bust 3 - 4 grow houses a week, so those houses are coming on the market as well. <BR/><BR/>You may have heard about minor crime, forced home invasions and armed robbery of small businesses, and deaths caused by illegals driving without licenses. But, that is just the cost of living in paradise. <BR/><BR/>So, baby-boomers, move here as soon as you can. In the meantime, I am thinking of moving to: <BR/><BR/>1. Taiwan. I love being a stranger in a strange land and I love the Confucian Temple in Taipei. The people love the USA and have statues honoring General MacArthur. <BR/><BR/>2. New Zealand. Just cause it looks wonderful in pictures. <BR/><BR/>3. Scotland. Probably Skye or one of the Hebridian Isles. Lived there once. Should have stayed. <BR/><BR/>4. Rome. The food is wonderful and it is humbling to be in a city with so much history. Sometimes it is good to be reminded of our own insignficance. <BR/><BR/>5. Everywhere. Travel around the world.

Another thing, it's very difficult to get to know a city or its culture if the only language you speak is English.<BR/><BR/>So Keith, aren't you going to learn another language in Europe? It's about time, don't you think? C'mon, you can do it. I know that you can get by in Europe by speaking English only, but it's never the same experience.<BR/><BR/>I learned my fourth language in Paris at Sorbonne. Beautiful city, lived in the 5 arr. (Quartier Latin), partied every night. If you ever go to Paris, have a dinner at Cafe Marli, which is located inside the Louvre, and ask for Madonna's favorite booth next to a glass wall with view to a Greek garden inside the Louvre, full of statues. Your jaw will drop. And try to go during Paris Fashion Week because the place is filled with top model babes. Also have a drink at Hotel Costes, while listening to Dj Pompougnac tunes...that bar's decoration is breath taking. Or have a drink at the amazing Buddha Bar, which has a cool dragon shaped counter on the second level. Musee D'Orsay is my favorite museum there, but make sure you take a class or read a book about art appreciation first. Prepare the wallet because Paris is freaking expensive. I know some brainwashed- Faux News-sheeple here hate anything French, but I had a heck of a good time there, plus the French girls are sooooo hot. I have been going back there ever since.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-49929175325723281962007-05-19T08:03:00.000+01:002007-05-19T08:03:00.000+01:00By the time I was 16 I'd traveled extensively thro...By the time I was 16 I'd traveled extensively throughout the US, of course that was in the 70s and the US more resembles a strip-mall from sea to shining sea than the cultures I experienced then...<BR/><BR/>Born & raised in Newport Beach/Huntington Beach CA, but the only thing I miss is the weather, IMO the place has gone to hell in a hand-basket as the City/County goobermints more closely resemble Housing Associations with a PTA smell around the edges - Although, the insane RE speculative culture and the ME, ME, ME! Pirates are my primary reason for hating that once Garden of Eden.<BR/><BR/>LA & SF are hell holes & have been my entire adult life, so other than SD, which is about to officially become Tijuana Norte, there's no where left in Kali except the Sierras.<BR/><BR/>Of course there's no where in Kali to escape the sucking sound created by third-worlders looking for a hand-out and the race-hustling, pandering politicians looking to get rich & powerful in the process.<BR/><BR/>The last ten years I lived in NYC (a biz opportunity popped-up) and made a fortune here, 4X what I made the rest of my adult life in Kali, but I absolutely hate the self-important, pretentious culture here, and despise the ghetto culture even more.<BR/><BR/>Top places to go when retiring:<BR/><BR/>1.
