TO ALL:　If you had to leave the country you currently reside in, what would you miss the most?

the language

Melbourne, Australia - I think I would miss my family most. Most of them reside here, but I do have a few relatives elsewhere. I have to move a long distance from home when i graduate in order to find work.

I think I would also really miss the nightlife here. Everyone is really approachable so its easy to pick up or just meet ppl and have a good time.

When I have been overseas before, I went to China and I really missed the air here. It was weird.

The familiar colours of the Lake District in Summer or Winter Whenever I've been away it's the first thing to say Welcome Home! I've lived in the Highlands and near Snowdonia and they are similar but not quite the same colours and you've never seen green grass till you visit Ireland! I could never leave the UK willingly! my roots and love go too deep! We may be small and we may not have the Highest Mountains or the largest lakes and we haven't got a desert but the coast lines pretty long and it's easily shared beauty if people just bothered to look!

I am a Filipino American and had been in San Francisco in time for the Thanksgiving and Christmas Season in 2005! I went to cousins in Concord, Glendale, El Centro, Alisso Viejo and Camarillo. I had also stayed with friends in San Diego!

No matter how they make you comfortable and being in the word's famous theme parks like Knotts Berry Farm, Disneyland, California Adventure, Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Universal Studios and going to Nevada, I felt so empty and cried! This is the first time I went out of the country and first Christmas away from my family!

The glitters is nothing compared to being with your own family! I was buying Christmas gifts for new friendsd in San Franciso but only bought Christmas cards for my family since I just got off work to explore USA, my birthplace and find a new life! However, I have to go back soon in the Philippines after 6 months since my father was hospitalized in the ICU and later on died.

2 days before he was hospitalized I told him how I loved him! He told me he loved me too and asked me to go back to the Philippines. Tell your parents or anybody you love that you love them! It was the last time I had talked with daddy! I miss him so much!

For me..personally. It would have to be that I never really saw or understood the history of the land. So much is hidden by neon signs and concrete.

Its the past that has made the land, the people, the previous changes in cultures, beliefs and just people trying to exist.

I often wonder and try to visualise how they would have seen the land, the hills, the trees, moors and the rivers.

How they connected to the land, in every aspect of their life instead of a flick of a switch or push of a button.

How they developed the respect of their environment and the people around them, instead of living in boxes and shutting out each other and calling it a community.

From where I live in Yorkshire.....have lived in the cities and rural villages. extreme rural.................I now overlook other communities and think do they know their neighbours.......I doubt it,.......coz I don't know mine. I find that quite scary and shameful.

I live in New Jersey, USA..... I would miss the bagels, the subs which taste so much better in Jersey, Great Adventure, not pumping my own gas for the car, Seaside Heights which is a beach and everybody in Jersey has been there... I would miss late nights in the WaWas with my friends, and getting in the Turnpike just to drive around with old friends.

I am a Jersey Girl. and I love it here

United States. Multiculturism.

Presently I'm on an Island in the Caribbean

If I had to leave right now I'd miss the 365 beaches that we have here and secondly my friends

Wales, the beach. Spent, many happy days, on the beach, with my children. I also love the countryside, fields, flowers and fresh air. Thats, what, i would miss most.

i would miss my freedom of speech, and having the choice of living however i want! ooh an also the nhs as i get sick a lot!!! oh and the yummy scrummy food, erm and the cool, quirky dark sense of humour, the BBC, the architecture!!! sooo many things! UK.
