I agree....Id rather live in Bridgeport, Connecticut than in Germany's ex-mistress.

According to "The Office" tonight, America is the best country in the world, and wow do I agree...

Check please!

If B-port was good enough for P.T. Barnum, then who am I to argue?

Australia #2? You have to be joking. The place was founded by criminals, corrupt politicians and vilanous military men. Just about every animal is venomous and could kill you with just one bight. Even the koala has been known to attack people by jumping from the trees onto the unsuspecting passerby's head (i.e. drop bears). There are no navigatable rivers in the nation's interior. It takes 14.5 hours to travel there from the west coast. There are feral camels that roam the vast unsettled red center like wolves. Hell, I would rather live in Idaho than in such an inhospitable place.

Sonny, ever been to France? Paris, I will grant you, is not the most friendly city towards Americans but I have enjoyed traveling there many times. We had a blast during World Cup '98.

Moscow is expensive to live in because it is like Chicago in the '20s. Gangsters run everytthing. You have to pay to play.

Go Oranje!

According to the list of the most expensive cities in the world, I find it interesting that White Plains, NY is listed there since it is close to NYC. Hanoi, Vietnam is #32, so I wonder if Ho Chi Minh is rolling in his grave hearing that.

I've made two trips to France. Spent one month there between my frosh and soph. years of college with our H.S. foreign exchange student's family.

I stand by what I said earlier.

[Rob Graff]

Ahh But New Zealand! Smaller, more beaches, good weather. A good choice at #3

The cities on the list that my family and I visited in the middle of 1970's:

London
Edinburgh (not on the list)
Amsterdam
several places in Germany
Zurich ( a very charming city)
Paris

I still love Scotland because of its lush green landscape, but I can imagine things have changed a lot since I was there probably in 1975 or 1976. It had to be the Year of the Jubliee of Queen Elizabeth II when we were in England. I will never forget being part of the crowd near the Buckingham Palace watching the Changing of the Guard. That was when it was my first time meeting a deaf person from Derby signing to me. She was using British Sign Language (BSL), so I was able to catch some of her signs. Fingerspelling with both hands was a different story.

I'm sure that France is a lot different now than it was in the early 50's, Sonny.

I love to visit France...been there twice, but would not want to work there. A friend of mine is a professor with a Phd and the garbage man makes almost the same as her.....Way too socialist for me.
