Also, maybe Australia because there’s no language barrier to overcome and I have friends there.  Plus, I think their culture is kinda cool.

Great Britain, India, Canada, Australia, and Iceland. These would be my choices!

Not once does the diversity seem forced -- the genius of the record is how the vaudevillian "When I'm 64" seems like a logical extension of "Within You Without You" and how it provides a gateway to the chiming guitars of "Lovely Rita. - Stephen T. Erlewine on Sgt Pepper's

On my bucket list is seeing the Northern Lights in all their splendor. Maybe Iceland for that. (But another country might work for that too.)

Poland. My mother-in-law was born there. When Hitler invaded Poland, my MIL was 5 years old. Her dad thought she, her sister, and his mother would be safer in Germany so he found a woman who owned a farm to take them in. After the war, the family never got to move back to Poland.

I want to keep Ohhh Boy happy so I want to go to Peru. He wants to see the Nazca and Machu Picchu.

Australia so I can visit our Aussie forumpudlians.

Great Britain again. Friends. Fun. And there is so much I haven’t seen there yet.

Ireland, England, France (the food, and I think I have a second cousin there), Vietnam, maybe Australia.

Interesting choice your grand in laws did, you’d think that they’d try to move somewhere where Hitler was far away from like America or Canada, interesting they chose Germany, home of the Nazis at the time.

If you're reading this, you are looking for something to do.

When the Germans were attacking everyone around them, Germany seemed to be the safer choice.

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 My grandfather wasn’t so lucky. Being 3 when the war started, Latvia was a prime country to be annexed. He saw many bad things (bearing in mind he was a young child too) and had to change their names to avoid being killed by the Germans. He eventually escaped through Poland (a-hard-days-night-john-3) and set sail from Germany to Australia.

 

Much like your family AG, he never got back to Latvia.

No worries!

It’s only a quarter of my family. On my other 75%, you have to go back about 4 generations to get out of Australia!

I’d throw a tantrum, and see friends more.

I’d also want to know what’s happening in the world, as that means there’d also be no news.

I’d either cry myself to sleep, put myself in a permanent coma, break all of the computers in the world, or buy an MS-DOS computer and use BBSes for my online needs.

Make more music, read a lot more, go for a run more often, maybe participate in social projects, and try to replace everything I have done via internet before with alternatives (e.g. buy things in local stores, phone people I’ve written with before, …). But that’d be hard.ahdn_paul_01

That would be legit horrible.

I could see millions go unemployed, the economy would crash, productivity would grind to a halt. I think the green house effect would increase due to people having to travel more without computers.

I’d buy flash drives since they would get really expensive and I’d also drive more.
