   What is the best place in the world to live?
   
   Is it the best place for you... or the best place, in general? Why?

   Rochelle, I guess you asked this question  to throw opinions around, since it has no answer!  Do you like cold or warm climates? do you like big cities or small towns? Do you need to work? and what kind? Do you have hobbies that take up a lot of space such as collecting cars or refinishing antiques? Is money and cost of living important?  Is culture important?
     We could go on and on!! where you would like to live follows the old saying " one persons trash is anothers treasure!"

   Next to the person you love.  The address doesn't really matter all that much.   But ok, that's not the answer you want, so I'm voting for the SF bay area because I LOVE it here.  I've been really happy with it--despite the cost.  It costs a lot because it is a lot.  It's a great place to be.   I haven't been to Fiji tho...that could change my mind.

      Yeah, I agree with that, as long as I'm with the person I love, then the address is of little relevance.

   Everyone is different. We used to live in No. Calif. in logging country and loved it.  We met some people visiting there from eastern Nevada where they had a ranch.  Eastern Nevada is flat and barren but they looked at our trees, and all the timber everywhere and said - it seemed like a waste, there was no room to farm or ranch.
   
   My heaven might be someone else's hell.  For me personally, a warm beach climate.  Different seasons not necessary - just warm ocean air.  I hate the cold and dark of Montana's winters.  My husband however has to be in the mountains - so guess where we live.....

   Though I'm quite fond of Solon, OH — low cost of living, great schools, nice home, ample fresh water, great health care, plentiful entertainment, a seasonally changing environment, little traffic congestion, family nearby, fairly cosmopolitan living, good diversity, etc. — I still love Florence:

      I am glad to hear that Hanoi is beautiful and peaceful. There have been some hard times there in the past.

   I don’t live there but every year I go camping at Byron Bay, a coastal town in north NSW, Australia. Everything about the place is what makes it special including its extremely relaxed way of living, great weather, multiple beaches, deep culture and the general vibe of the area.
   
   Although it’s a small town there is plenty to do and if the town isn't enough It's only a short drive to the Gold Coast (One of the more popular tourist destinations in Australia), close to forests and national parks for hiking enthusiasts, great surf, always something going on in town and plenty of other things to do.
   
   It's really a place you have to see for yourself to understand why you would want to live there especially in the summer.

    Savannah, Georgia!  No doubt.  Low cost of living, it's on the coast, it's soaked in history, the landscape is amazing, almost dream like...  How could you not love it?! No, I don't live there -- yes, I wish I did.

    I have lived in Cape May, NJ; Pensacola, FL; Houston, TX; New Orleans, LA; Los Angeles, CA; and Petaluma, CA. So I have been all around and I have no favorite place! Everywhere is great, and each have their own great thing about them. In NJ I was in a small town that wasn't too busy but wasn't to far from NY where I loved the city life and Broadway. In Pensacola the towns were great and I loved the people, plus you aren't too far from a beach. TX is a great open country place to live and everyone is so friendly. And both CA locations are beautiful, it's very expensive to live there, but beautiful!!

    I'd have to say it's the places I've lived and love most. Those places include:
    
    1. Baton Rouge, Louisiana: my hometown
    
    2. Brevard, North Carolina: college
    
    3. Taipei, Taiwan: present home
    
    Though I've traveled to a few nice places that seem ideal, I'm not sure if I'd like to live in any of them.
