Today's Question is....

Have you ever lived outside the country you were born in?

Today's Question is....

Have you ever lived outside the country you were born in?

I have been to 41 foreign countries. This is the one I like best.
If I had to live in a foreign country for the rest of my days, I'd have to pick France, Ireland, the UK, probably in that order.

I lived in Japan for 4 years ('79 - '83).

 

[Zorak]

No, but Mrs. TiO was born in Brazil and lived there until she was almost 19.

 

[Jessica4Bama]

Nope, and I don't plan to either.

Define "lived". I'm assuming vacations don't count, but where is the line between a vacation and living? One month, three months, six months, a year?

Because I spent six weeks and a month in Japan and Ghana, respectively...neither of which was a "vacation" per se.

I've also lived in Oxford for about four years now. Sometimes it feels like a different country (or a different planet) entirely. :biggrin2:

Did you get mail there?

No... but I spent a little over a month in Bangkok Thailand, in 2005, it was wonderful, and cheap. Then one Dollar = 47 Baht, I stayed in a 4 star hotel, and got a free breakfast bar every morning, that was awesome. It cost me $550 for the month! Now it's about 30 Baht to a Dollar. I hope to go back, maybe in a few years, if it's affordable.

Lived in Great Britain, Jerusalem, Cairo, and Bahrain.

 

[Tide1986]

I lived a year or so in Texas.

 

[Bama Reb]

I guess you could say I 'lived' in Vietnam twice, and for a year each time. Not a happy experience either time. But I absolutely loved 'living in' Bangkok during my R&R's. If I remember correctly, their Baht was worth either 4 or 5 cents US, so my luxury hotel suite, complete with meals, drinks and 24 hour limo service with driver, cost me only a couple of dollars per night. :biggrin2:

I've lived in Texas also, but back then it was still part of the US.

 

[Bamadoc74]

Chile four years.Gorgeous place.

 

[bat123]

I have lived in England, France, Cyprus, Italy, Puerto Rico, Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia (ugh) and currently in United Arab Emirates (not so much ugh) but I am waiting for the day to move back to my USA.

 

[Bluegrasstide]

I do not anticipate ever living outside of this country. However, I would love to visit Europe.

 

[tidehawk]

I lived in Puerto Rico for 4 years. My wife and I just got back from a visit, which was the first time back on the island since I left in '79.

 

[Silverback]

I lived in Germany for 3 years, Italy for 3 years, Kirkuk Iraq for 1 year, and Baghdad for 1.3 years. Germany was my fave.
