Lets say your walking through the woods one day when you bump into a magical disco wizard who offers to teleport you to any location you please to like...live there and stuff (though you can't go home because disco is dead)
where would you go? what luxury item would you take on your adventure?
I've always figured I'd end up in Brazil at some point in my life (despite the fact that nowhere teaches Portuguese), I would bring my camera so I can be one of those annoying camera people

because normal wizards are too socially awkward to talk to strangers in the woods

I've been there before, and it's one of the most beautiful places I've seen (and I've seen a lot of places).
The houses there are also without equal, and fit the surroundings. Ever since they closed the Naval Training Center, it's gotten even better. Great beaches, great local wildlife. And I can easily get a nice job at the nearby SPAWAR facility (probably a great, great job).
Luxury item: KSS46 Catamaran

I would take a frilly blanket.
And I would be transported to one foot in front of me so that my body can be merged with this old pentium 4 computer.

A nice, quiet 3 or 4 bedroom house somewhere within 10-15 minutes of Cork city, preferably by the seaside. With a garden.
The luxury item I'd bring would be my BF.

I'd call myself Draag, and wear an eyepatch! :fluffle:
Probably Hong Kong...I love that city. I would still want to be able to travel, but I would not mind living in Hong Kong as a "base of operations," so to speak. And I would also take my PSP with me so I could get it hacked for a couple bucks on the street without worry of bricking it by doing my own hack.

I'd like to live in either Angers, France or Ann Arbor, Michigan. I'm really not sure which if the two I'd prefer over the other.

St. Martin (the French side, St. Maarten struck me as more than a little grotty.) My luxury item would be a VOIP phone.

Ann Arbor, MI is a pretty place to live.
I'd move there if it weren't so damned expensive, or if I weren't so damned poor. A friend of mine had a very small 2 bedroom apartment down there and it cost her $1200/month. Where I live (Mt. Pleasant, Michigan) I had a 1 bedroom apartment that was almost twice the size of her 2 bedroom and it only cost me $425/month.
Place: Israel
Item: A supercomputer that is useable on the Sabbath without violating Jewish law, as vetted by several respected rabbis - and is the size of a conventional laptop

I lived in Lansing. Didn't like it, but I visited Mackinack Island and Ann Arbor and I thought those 2 places are gorgeous.

Lansing, like most cities in Michigan, has been sort of a sad place since the oil embargo in the 70s started the long, slow death of the American auto industry and ended Michigan's economic golden age.

Parksville, British Columbia
My luxury item would be a modest sized, off-the-grid house.
a world of trees, trains, computers, and little furry creatures with big sharp teeth, where aggressiveness, austentation and the private passinger automobile, do not exist, never had and never will.

Yeah, I know. I remember that while I was living there, Oldsmobile closed a sub-altern factory and 1,000 people lost their jobs.
I thought that Okemos, where MSU is, is very pretty too. So are Ovid and Elsie.
