Personal
I am Greek, spent many many years living in Germany, and some in Scotland. I still haven't quite decided which climate zone I prefer, but the perfect location would include some concept of summer (Scotland fails on this criterion). I like prawns, peaches, raw meat, chocolate and espresso. Music, too, but that list is too long, from Can to Steely Dan via Trail of Dead and Bonnie Prince Billy. Walks in the forest, without too many insects, and the sea, especially if you can enjoy it without getting wet. India Pale Ale is a blessing for mankind. Speaking in different languages at the same time (just like speaking in tongues) is great fun.
