Why do you like living where you do.
raynerd:
I`m very happy North West England - near enough to a huge city centre yet I live 10 miles away in a little village.
Troutsqueezer:
I live in Pilot Hill, in the CA foothills not far from Folsom, CA.
This is the front deck.
This is a small part of the view from the front deck looking toward the Sierra Nevada. Lake Tahoe is an hour and a half to the East, San Francisco is an hour and a half to the West, Yosemite National Park is two hours to the South. Need I say more? :beer:

Concidering the situation around the world - Japan, New Zealand with EQ and tsunamis, the US with all the tornados AND a Yellow Stone "bomb" ticking, middle east with the people raising against dictators - then Denmark seems like an kind of Utopia or fairytale country !
If you are a foreigner maybe it's not so easy to come to Denmark - sometimes I am ashamed of danish policy on foreigners, now you have to earn some points to get qualified to enter Denmark - sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad - hard to say !
We DON'T have no EQ, no atomic power plants (some nearby though !), no tsinamis, no vulcanos, no nothing, no murdering of people downtown, no corruption (I think that's must be one of the hardest things to live with . you can't "move" unless you can "pay" !) - some would say "boring" ... maybe, maybe not !
We DO have a very high tax to pay, we can say what we want to say in every aspect of life !
When one get older, one may think in the long run it's a better way to organize as we do here in Denmark - at least I do !
Bogstandard:
'The grass is always greener'
There is nowhere in this world that is perfect, it is all in one's own mind.
As long as you have enough to eat and a roof over your head, call it home and be thankful for what you really have.
I lived in the gulf for a while, just down the road from Dubai, and always wanted to go to live there.
But then, rather than always thinking of the positives, I also looked at the negatives.
Massive lazy flies everywhere, and not just in the summer, the place stank all the time, you had to run between the shadows to prevent getting your skin blistered (within a few days of being out there, the tops of my feet were one massive blister), and the money stank worse than the streets, brownish bits of paper that must have transferred everything from the common cold to leprosy, continually having to drink copious amounts of liquid, just to prevent yourself dropping dead in the street.
It's OK if you have the money to be isolated from the rough stuff, but for the normal person, not a nice place to be.
I am sure, all you with fantastic views etc, if push came to shove, you too could come up with a long list of things wrong with your 'paradise'.
Just get on with life and make the most of what you have, otherwise you will all end up as grumpy old men.

No tsunamis in Denmark, Ksor ??
