If you could transport yourself to some other culture to live out your life which culture would it

[applegrove]

be and why. I'd go to Tibet. I worked with Tibetans and they were the most wonderful people. Reminded me of many members of my family. I'd love to live in a culture that puts a premium on how people treat each other rather (and all creatures) than putting a premium on material goods. Plus I have lived in Mountains before and there is a 'high' that goes with that.

1. Two questions first: do I get to choose my position in that culture? And, does

it have to be a real culture? :shrug:

2. Good point. I'd love to live in the Star Trek universe.

3. Good choice. I'm leaning toward The Culture myself (Iain M. Banks books)

but I might be tempted by something a little more savage if I got to be the guy on the top instead of the guy on the bottom. Rome comes to mind...

4. Yes, choose your position and No, it can be star trek.

5. Tahitians are a non-violent culture. That would be a nice change.

As opposed to Murkah with 11,000 gun deaths a year.

And tropical beaches make it even nicer. ;)

6. Oh yes. I'd love to visit that part of the world. Don't think I could stand all of that down time

though. I'm more of a worker bee.

7. Italy!

Out in the country somewhere.

8. Oh yeah. I'd love to spend time in Italy. I think, as a culture,

it may be too extroverted for me. I'd probably stick to myself.
