The Friday Five on a Sunday

1. If you could live in any city in the world, where would you live and why?London would still probably be the top of my list. While I was living there, I loved not having to drive and being able to access so many remarkable things for the price of a £1.50 bus journey. I’m also too consistently tired and too completely absorbed in my job and my

On the other hand, London is horribly expensive to live in

My gosh, it must be! I watch a TV show called "House Hunters International", and am amazed at what it costs to rent a small flat/apartment in London.

Yes, it's even worse than it was when I was living there more than a decade ago. A friend who still works in London recently bought a place (3 bed, semi-detached, with garden) in one of the satellite commuter towns - over an hour away by train - and their mortgage plus bills is now the same amount as they were paying in rent alone for a one-bed flat.

I'm not sure city life is for me at this stage of my existence. Same here. I'm definitely a small town kind of girl! ;-)

I never thought I would be, but I am these days! I think it's partly because the constraints of my life are such that I can't take advantage of a lot of the perks of city living, and partly that I'm tiiiiiired. :D

Neat answers!!

1) That's a good question - if money was no object, I'd move back to Chicago, to live near the city, not in the city.
2) Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Italian.
3) It was a long time ago, back when I was in junior high, with my grandparents in Niagara Falls.
4) The longest plane ride is definitely from Dulles, Washington to Heathrow Airport in London, England - I did NOT get any sleep during that entire plane ride.
5) Eostia.

Chicago is great and I totally agree a suburb would be ideal (with good transport link in to the city).

I also like your language choices and country name. :)
