I have given this some thoughts and changed the answers over the years. First it was Italia, I thought if I could retire and live anywhere, it would be somewhere in Italy, Venice, Milan or Rome. Then, I thought Bavaria would also be nice, Munich is beautiful, and I could got as many Bayern games as I want.
Finally, I got the pleasure to go to Barcelona, and all I could say is one word espectacular! I mean the whole shebang, La Segrada de familia, to Estadio de Camp Nou, to the cultural diversity of the city, and the world-renowned beaches.

My girl being form Bulgaria, having an EU and a US PP is on board with my 10-15 year Barce plan. If any of you live or will live there we can, ill switch from beer to Sangria, and see you at Estadio de Camp Nou. The best part is I am about a 1 hour flight to Munchen and a a 2 hour flight to Milan so see some of you soon.
You won the lotto, got an inheritance or retired and could live anywhere in the world. Where would you like to live you could pick anywhere-:London, Sydney, Tokyo, Barce, Madrid, Rome, Sydney, Venice, Paris, Munich, you name it. I thought this was a good idea to get to know one another better.

I think most folks will retire near a computer, cell fone or to be clear, near the information super highway.
Well then, you could come to Barcelona, the last time I went there, they had good WIFI, I was able to FT with people back in the States, with no problems. There are even countries in Africa I have been to, like Kenya, that have good WIF. If that is your goal, you can really retire anywhere.

That is so cool! If. I might gamble once or twice a year, usually it is a sports bet but every now and then, I will play some no limit, hold em poker.
I would have never guessed that Barcelona had a poker culture so they have hold em tournaments in Barce? Also, how did you do?
One thing that was cool was going to Palau de Musica and catching a flamenco concert. I also took a tour of Estadio de Camp Nou and La Segrada de Familia.

It's a private club offering poker prostitution and pizza.
Mems normally overdose on one. Guess which?!

Called IPPP of Barcelona. Gets five stars on michelons. Very gourmet, not the college kids and pizza kind. Heavy handers only ... Prosts are Russian so is the operation. Takes advantage of lax Catalonian corrupt police.

I should invite you next year. I threw my back counting cards and stroking it hard same time.

Well I am not going to guess, seeing the sites and exploring the cultural diversity of the city lol. Prosts are Russian operation, now we are getting somewhere, I can communicate with Comrade Sergei for you. Just slip Comrade a $50 bill. Oh and Catalonian police, same rule applies slip $50 and you can do whatever you want. I love the corrupt Catalonian police, THEY ARE THE BEST AT WHAT THEY DO
Oh and I tried to blend in as a Catalonian, with my Barce jersey. They saw through the ruse and would speak to me in English, I think they knew I was an American When I was in Roma- that trick worked QUE BELLICIMA everyone thought I was Italian. The plan also worked in Germany, France, Ukraine, and the Russia. The only time the trick did not work, was in Spain . .:)

Slip of the tongue and phrase ,Qir Belissimo could come out. Watch out.
Really interesting so Qir Bellisimo could be watch out but Que Bellisimo means how beautiful. Very interesting btw where would you pick Italia?

I couldn't understand this. I was thinking of Italia as a a back up but prefer Barce. Glad to make you laugh as always.
I thought attenzione meant watch out or danger like Achtung. This is the problem of being a foreigner and trying to ltalian and Spanish.

So does Qir Bellicimo mean watch out or Atentiozine or is it one of those you can use both?
It loosely means watch out as there's hairy balls ahead. Catalonians use hairy balls to refer to a situation risen wo prior hint. Unnerving stuff especially abroad imho but you've done well with these kinds of cultural nuances and challenges.

Qir Belissio! Ur Flag is up as they say among Iranians.

Def room for all three as Europeans loosely use Greek to Persian cultural references. They consider it mediterranean freak to perversion, a slang for anything goes when face hairy balls situation.

My contacts there asking if 1000 Viagra pills can be delivered, any contacts at ur end? They pay top Turkish bills.
