(Great Britain specifically) But before I even consider it, I need to get a lot more information about a few things: I'm looking for somewhere peaceful to live, but not ridiculously overpriced. I imagine I'd need to be somewhat close to a city, as I am going to school to be a Computer Scientist (software engineering), so somewhere that might be notorious for jobs like that might be helpful. I'm not picky about placement as far as weather, proximity to a coast, etc. I'd actually prefer a mainland area Probably need somewhere that has some form of public transportation, as when I first arrive chances are I wont have a car I cant really think of anything else at the moment.... I will be the only prospect moving, so dont need ridiculously large housing Thanks in advance! I will post questions as they come to me You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

My suggestion would be to look more towards the North of England, not an area that I`m familar with at all with regards good areas and job prospects etc, but I would steer clear of London for sure. Perhaps one of the other UK residents who live in the North can help you out with some suggestions One question though, why the UK? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Nov 18 2009, 01:02 AM	GMC:er Posts: 173 Joined: 16-May 07 From: North Carolina, USA	Hmm And the UK because I absolutely LOVE the UK. (and I have a secret liking for British women, especially the accents.....) I've always wanted to live there. I just never knew enough to make the attempt. So I decided I'd be more vigorous in the idea @Keilnoth: Dont move to NYC Everything in NYC is way overpriced and overall its not a great place to live. I have family that lives up there (Uncle's job made him move) and they dont like it. I have also visited them there, great tourist sites, but not much else Try somewhere like North Carolina or Virginia. Away from Hurricane area and Tornadoe area, worst storms you get are a few lightning storms here and there, not too hot, not too cold, just nice open country if you go to the right place :] You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Don't expect English women to behave in the same general way as American women, there's a huge cultural difference!! London is overpriced like NY. Try cities like Reading, Bristol, Newcastle, Oxford or Cambridge. Lots of Computer based firms are now active in these areas. Nice to hear that you've always wanted to live somewhere in the rain!!!

I actually prefer the English Women to the American Women By the way, is it correct to call them English or British?
