If you had the power to go back in time, what time period and country would you choose, and why?

I have always had a fascination with history and have often wondered which country I would choose and what I would do when I got there..I think I would choose the 14th century and I would choose England, and I would choose to be a maid in the royal house..only to find out all the dirt on the people!

Update:

I have always had a fascination with history and have often wondered which country and time period I would have liked to live in...I think I would like the 17th century and England..and I think I would like to be a royal maid, only so I could find out things the history books do not tell, and even thou it was a not too good of a job..it would be interesting to find out how the hired help was really treated by the royal family.
