So tell me who are you?

Okay, it's Friday, and I know you've all been waiting for it: It's the Ask Me A Question entry! That's right, any question. Ask away.

Also, Skinny Puppy is not good bedtime music.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you make your ideal home?

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Um. Wow.
Okay, the first problem is that it'd have to be near everyone I know, so it's already an imaginary place. It'd be a big house, with a good acreage (some fields, orchards, forest, and a creek perhaps) within spitting distance of the ocean. The place should be big enough to fit everyone who wants to stay there and still leave private room for them. It should not be in the city, but it should be within fifteen or thirty minutes of a well-planned metropolis with a well-planned public transit system and green space and museums and interesting architecture and historical points of interest. The government should be concerned with providing for those who cannot provide for themselves, and would never consider an incorporated commercial entity to be commensurate to a human life.
Um. There's probably more but it's late and I'm at work. (:

I think there's a neighborhood that is a 15 minute ferry ride from Auckland, New Zealand that meets your requirements.

Expensive houses, though.

But how would we get everyone to move to Auckland?

Um. Tell them it's a special 'Lord of the Rings' related somethingorother and then only buy them one-way tickets?

[phillipalden.livejournal.com]

Brilliant!

Yeah, it sounds like 'Soooooper Genius' is going to have to go on my business card. (:

Aukland, hmm, I don't know. Make it Christchurch and I'll drop everything and leave in the next ten minutes.

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Is there that big a difference?

[(Anonymous)]

Aukland = north island
Christchurch = south island

Dad lived in Christchurch for about 18 months not long ago. Raved about the place almost daily.

Did he diss Auckland, or is it just an unknown quantity compared to ChristChurch?

[miss-friday.livejournal.com]

No dissing, just had no opportunity to get there. Stayed on the South Island, mostly due to work and lack of vehicle.

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

So you're still maybe convinceable, it'd just be more work to get you keen on the north island. (:

Anywhere in New Zealand is fine with me.

It's less than a day's drive to nearly anywhere on South Island.
