Liberia. I want to be a poet warlord and have my own facebook status update memes for 3.2 months before a zoo animal gets shot and I go back to cutting off baby arms unfettered.

rijsttaffel isn't dutch - hence the indo takeout

[Mazderati]

Boiled vegetables, sure. But Dutch cuisine is also speculaas, stroopwafels, apple pies, oysters, fish, cheese, and breads.

Coffee, weed, french fries with mayo....repeat
and beer, lots of beer

Croatia would be good, specifically Brac or Istria. I just need a couple acres with olive and fruit trees and a few lambs to get started. Slovenia would rank pretty high too. Lots of other places that I could live, but those felt pretty comfortable.

Brac is absolutely beautiful. The town of Bol was one of my favorites anywhere in Croatia:

Well, I'm a Whit guy and lived on Oahu years ago. Made new friends pretty quick. Had a few connections to introduce me. Native Hawaiians aren't so bad, in general. I get it, they demand respect and don't want dick heads thinking they can come in and douche it up by throwing money around. I learned to kitesurf in Kailua and took the bus from Waikiki almost every day after work. Met a slew of transplants and locals there.
If I move back, it'll be Maui. Got a friend that built a house up in the country and loves it there. Another buddy has been on Kauai for years. Not much going on. Never been to Big Island, not sure it'd be for me. Living Aloha is a great way to live.

So you spent time in Waikiki? Did you pick up a Lois Vuitton handbag and eat at Duke's? Totally local bra! Throw me a shaka! Hang loose Brah! You were a Haole, the whole time you were there and you'll never graduate from that.

I'm talking about living long term, outside the city. Oahu is a little different than Maui.

oh i know, but its very popular there and very tasty. Most traditional dutch food is boring i agree. I, however, am a meat and potatoes kinda guy so it doesnt really bother me.

My brother lived in Maui for 4 years, cooking at some hotel in Lahaina, he would've stayed but he got slammed into a reef surfing and needed something crazy like 400 stitches and he couldn't work so he went broke so he moved back with Mom and Dad for a while. When he got a car he got HAOLE for his license plates, got pulled over by a Massachusetts State Trooper who said, "Son, what in the fuck is a hay-oh-lee?"

When he left he said it was okay, he was on the plane, having a couple drinks, they were up in the sunshine, it was chill. They went to land at Logan and they went down through the clouds, it was grey and dark (February in Boston) and it was snowing sideways and he thought, "What in the fuck have I done?"

Currently in grad school in the sciences (in the U.S.). I am strongly considering looking for academic/research jobs in Europe once I finish.

I don't have to leave VT for good cheese

I agree on the oysters

I spent too much time as a kid watching dottering old fools jabber on and drink coffee and inhale gebak

it's popular because even the dutch know their food sucks

[frorider]

My Dutch friends agree.

What's the point of having an empire if you can't bring all of their good food dishes back to the homeland?

For example: English food is also pretty boring, but you can find tons of good things to eat in London.

French fries with mayo....

They stole that idea from the Belgians.

beer, lots of beer

Belgian beer is far better.

It's not a "what country has the best traditional food" thread though. You can find a wide variety of good food in any major metro area these days. You could probably travel the world and never eat anything but Thai food if you wanted to.

[SkiCougar]

I cannot believe this thread made it 6 pages in two days.

for me, Germany. Got german ancestry and it has the greatest economic opportunity in continental Europe and I can go to Austria and Greece from there easily.

(of course the polyass regulars most likely think I want to go because i'm just a Nazi that wants to head back to the fatherland, so I guess I have two reasons)

if travelling the world = only stopping in megapolis world citys in europe and the americas, maybe. but then that isn't really travelling the world, it's just getting variations on the world elite megapolis culture.

these days you need tourism/travellers/influx of students from somewhere else to support the infrastructure (ski lifts, restaurants, "culture") that people want.

Yeah, not saying it’s the best way to do it, just trying to make a point

The choice is obvious. Northern Italy.
