A faster-than-light interstellar spaceship.

Especially if I were the first human to do it. Or better yet, get kidnapped by aliens and end up becoming the first diplomatic emissary between species. Why? Because of the incredible possibilities for increasing knowledge, for someone who's detached enough to be able to leave their species behind and stay sane.

That would be mine too. :wink:

I think that would be the Life and truly where I would truly would like to live.

That would be my greatest fantasy to live in space and travel through the stars and to the stars.

It would be great to see what is out there between the stars for sure.

Maybe one day We will be able to do so.

Well, if I answered this 100% truthfully and outside of the current boundaries of this reality, I'd probably weird-out at least a few people, so I'm going to go with around 99% of the truth, which also happens to be within the boundaries of this reality, and say the ideal place to live, for me, would be with someone I love deeply.

As for why, being with someone I love deeply would almost be the most comfortable and 'home-ish' I could feel. (The most is essentially the same thing, only slightly more... close?)

I'd be living in a Hotel, at Piccadilly Circus, in London. London would be the perfect city for me to live, because I thrive on City Life. I also have quite the Accent, compared to the North American standard of how a person should speak. The reason that I choose Piccadilly Circus, instead of just any part of London, is because it's one of the few parts of London, that the Routemasters still pass through, and I enjoy being a part of the Big City Crowd. I also tend to be a little edgey, sometimes and London's an edgey City. I'm also on this kick, that I must live in a city, where my Quirks will either go unnoticed, or be accepted. Looking at a Double Decker or a Union Jack in Vancouver just isn't like looking at the exact same things in London. In Vancouver, people would start talking. In London, half the people would be doing the same thing I am, with the same facial expressions.

Alaska, where I can be away from people and in the wilderness. I also hate hot air more than cold air so I would not mind the temps.

I'm pretty happy where I am. It's beautiful, not very populated, low cost of living.

I'm drawn to the Pacific Northwest, never been there though.
I wouldn't mind living in the redwood forrest. That would be quite awesome actually.

I'm drawn to Austrailia too.
I need to get over there someday.

In the same vein as a ghost, as an AI construct who spends time in a robotic toy cat.

(too much accelerondo here)

Barring that, I've always thought London would be cool.

Toronto or Vancouver.
Liked the people and culture in both places. Likely with more exposure would find things not to like, but that happens everywhere.
If I lived in either place I would not have to work so hard to find the kind of tea and cucumbers I like....

Todmorden,which is in West Yorkshire/England.
Here's some photos of it:

It's not too far from where I live/Manchester,but it's a rural area[compared to the majority places of Manchester],isn't crowded with ignorant scallies and looks amazing.

I'd love to live in the English countryside (erm, and have the money to do so). In some old house with rickety wood floors and a loverly garden in front and back. With plenty of country space for long walks. Inside, the house would be rather dark and Victorian.

Maybe live close enough to Oxford for frequent visits. :)
