What's the best place in the US to live?

Go to New Zealand. You are not too far away from Phils, you are in a westernised country, plenty of rivers, mountains, coasts, small towns, nice people, great food, great summers, good winters, everything you need.

Australia is not too bad an option either, but weather and insects/animal life can cause annoyances.

I think NZ would be more your kind of place than Australia. Infact, if you go to South Island, go to Queenstown. If North Island, you have a few options, but none of them are probably any better than Queenstown.

A lot of these small towns are in SoCal though.

I think they would not let me work? The wife too, she's filipina. I heard folks from down under are afraid of filipinas.

Good idea tho, I love the shire.

Frosty, how old are you if I may ask?

Thanks for the link Oerdin, I'll check it out.

I love rack of lamb tho. Heard they have good seafood there.

Wouldn't Lancer have to get a Visa to work in NZ though?

[Lancer]

Yeah...that could be a pain. Plus I wouldn't be contributing to my US social security. I'm getting to be an old fart, 62 just 12 years away. Wierd.

But maybe he could get a role in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit, maybe as one of the trolls or something.

(Ming could play the Great Goblin )

As it happens I have troll experience.

I'm 28.

I hardly ever saw any mutton in NZ. I think we sell the stuff to you guys.

Another good spot, warmer than Queenstown would be in the Abel Tasman, Picton, Nelson area, the tip of the South Island, if you live in Picton (see pic), you will be very close to Abel Tasman (relaxing get away) and very close to Nelson (a larger town than Picton). If you really need to get to a big city one day, you will be a 2 hour boat ride to Wellington (Bottom of the North Island), or a 6 hour drive to Christchurch (Down south, an awesome drive along the coast or through the mountains).

28, perfect. Married?

Dolores has a cousin that is just the beauty of the world, (I'm not kidding) and doing excellent in school. In a year and 2 months you can have her address, she'll be 18, you'll be 29ish. That's eleven years, Dolores and I are 14 years apart and that's wonderful for both of us. The filipinas believe they should find older guys because the younger ones are too wild. Us older guys believe we should find younger women because we're still a little wild.

And just in case I still can't convince you, one final promotional blow to the face might help.

Wow! Just looking at it yeah I want to live there.
