If I could live anywhere in the United States, I would move to zip code 93921, Carmel-by-the-Sea in Northern California.
ReplyDeleteIf I could live anywhere in the world, I would move to Ma'adi, near Cairo, Egypt.
If I could live anywhere in the United States, I would move to San Diego, California (92126). I did live in Los Angeles, CA for a year where I interned for the a music label company called Def Jam Records. I would make mini vacation trips down south to San Diego, where I feel in love with the environment, atmosphere, and the people. I believed that it was paradise. The beaches there were beautiful and the water was so clear that you could look all the way down. Growing up in New York most of my life, I am sick of the cold weather, and would love to have the opportunity again to move out west and enjoy fun in the sun all year round.
ReplyDeleteIf I could live anywhere in the world, I would move to Havana, Cuba. I once had a client go to this country and tell me how beautiful it was. I would love to experience a completely different culture. I was told that Cuba is kinda like the 1950-60s era in the United States. I think it would be interesting to see how their culture functions, and since the US doen't trade with Cuba, I think it would be thrilling to be able to escape and be an american in Cuba. The weather I was told is absolutely to die for.
If I could live anywhere in the United States I would live in White Plains, New York with the zip code 10605. Right now I live in Valhalla, New York and I would want to stay close to where I grew up. My whole family lives in New York and although exploring a new state would be fun, being with my family and friends is what makes the atmosphere enjoyable for me. I also love all four seasons and New York is where I can experience it all. I choose White Plains in particular because it is a both a city and a suburb. I go to school in Manhattan and would not want to continue living in that large of a city therefore White Plains is a good balance for me.
ReplyDeleteIf I could live anywhere in the world, I would have to move to the zip code 11968 in South Hampton, Bermuda. I have gone there with my family a couple of summers and it was amazing. The weather is fresh and the water is clear. I love the warm sun and soft sand and could see myself enjoying the mellow atmosphere. The people were friendly and welcoming in the towns my sisters and I explored, making me feel very comfortable and always excited to return.
If I could pick somewhere to live in the United States, I would choose the zip code 92126. San Diego, California is a beautiful place. I've never been there but I heard the weather is always nice Also, i love the beach, so thats where i would spend most of my time. I would like to learn how to surf and that would be the perfect spot because i could go to the beach. This is what post office i would like to live in, in the United States.
ReplyDeleteOn an international level I would choose to live in 06000. This is the zip code of Nice, France located in the beautiful French Riviera. I had the pleasure of staying in this city 2 summers ago. The weather there was beautiful! Every day the sun would shine. Not to mention, the amazing beaches there. The water was so clear, it was like windex. The people there are very friendly. It is a very laid back place.
If i could live in any post office in the United States it would be a very tough call. I would not like to live outside of the US because I feel uncomfortable with languages and cultures I am not familiar with.
ReplyDelete1) I would live in the Manhattan Post office (main) because it has huge columns that I always wanted for my dream house I will never buy.
2) I would want to live in the Mail room of Walt Disney World because it is the place I felt most happy, comfortable and safe growing up. I went there every year until I was 17 with my family (even though Im the youngest). I was never sick of it and would be there in a hot minute if my funds were more plentiful.
If I could live anywhere in the United States, I would like to live in zip code 96743 on the big Island of Hawaii. I would want to live there because Hawaii was my favorite vacation that I took with my parents and sisters. We went to Hawaii five years ago. I also want to live there because it is warm all year round and I would not to worry about the cold, snowy weather.
ReplyDeleteIf I could live anywhere in the world, I would like to live in Spain. I studied Spanish in high school and could improve my language skills. I have also heard that there are many beautiful buildings and places to visit. I also like Spanish food. I think I could adjust well to living there for a short period of time.
If I could live anywhere in the United States it would be Manhattan in New York City. I think it is the most interesting place in the US. Never ending opportunity, interesting people, and always, always things to do. I think I blend in well where ever I go, Im a country girl as well. I love the wide open fields, beautiful scenery, the whole atmosphere. If I had one place to go though, it would be Manhattan.
ReplyDeleteIf I could go anywhere in the world, I would go to the island of Fiji. I absolutely love the beach and the beautiful weather they have. I love the fact that everything there seems so laid back and carefree, no problems can possibly follow you to Fiji, what is there to worry about? The crystle blue water is so clear, you can see so far down. I have never been there, but I've seen pictures and heard about it. Seems like a wonderful place.
If I had to choose one place to live in the United States it would be Aspen Colorado (81611). I love winter and the snow & I heard that Aspen in the winter is gorgeous so I would definitely want to live there.
ReplyDeleteIf I could choose one place to live outside the United States it would be Australia (1001). I have always dreamed about going to Australia because I heard it is beautiful.
If I could live anywhere in the United States it would be right here in New York. Specifically I'd move to Brooklyn, area code 11224. I could never leave New York, I love the seasons and the atmosphere. There's no place like it here, it's the only place I'd want to call home. Last year I lived in San Diego for a few months, and it was beautiful, but it grew monotonous. Everyday was gorgeous, it never rained or got too hot or too cold, it was essentially perfect. That was the problem I had with it. Eating birthday cake for every meal sounds like a delicious idea, but once you eat too much cake, you get sick. San Diego is like birthday cake. I need to have the cold, the dirty and the rush of New York, that's why Brooklyn suits me perfectly. I couldn't live anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteHowever, for the sake of this assignment, if I had to choose any place in the world outside of the U.S. I'd pick Australia. The one thing Australia offers that New York doesn't is an enormous population of sharks. Yes, sharks. I love sharks, and Australian waters are full of them. Last year alone there were nearly 400 reported shark attacks in Australia. I'm not planning on becoming a statistic, but I'd love to swim with sharks in the oceans of Australia.
If I could live anywhere in the United States, I'd live in Temecula, California zip code 92563 because my dad’s sister lives there. This past summer I had the opportunity to visit my aunt and uncle after 8 years and learned that they both suffer from Cancer. I never imagined that this would happen to either one of them because when I last saw them I remembered them being healthy. I was shocked to find out this news, but even felt more for them when I saw them in the state they were. My uncles Cancer is by far worse than my aunts, but both of their Cancers have spread throughout their body and they own a business Postal Annex down there and while I visited I helped them run their business. If I could go back there and live there I would to help support them and help run their business because as I recently learned my uncle is in such a bad condition, which requires him to not work. Right now my cousins are running the business and attending college at the same time, so if I could move there and give a helping hand I would love to. I also wouldn’t mind living there because it is 45 minutes away from LA going in one direction and San Diego in the opposite direction and since I love to travel this would be perfect for me!
ReplyDeleteIf I could live anywhere in the world, I would live in London, United Kingdom because my mom’s entire family is living there. I used to always go to London every summer when I was a child growing up and I just loved spending time with my cousins, enjoyed the food and ice cream. My favorite part of London is the food and being a vegetarian, I love that McDonalds in London sells bean-burgers, which here in America we cannot find at a McDonalds. I also like the products they sell like deodorant and lotions, I know this might be a bit odd, but they have a variety of spray deodorant, which I like as opposed to roll on deodorant. In addition, to loving the food and some of the products they sell in London, I like London because I like London boys. I don’t know if it’s the accent that gets me or the way they dress and style their hair, but I’ve always been fond of London boys and tell my parents that I want to marry a boy from London and live there. So hopefully one day this does come true!
Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteYou're so right about Southern California! I honestly don't miss all those days of sunshine. One of the things I most love about New York is that every day with Mother Nature is a surprise! The beauty here is breathtaking. Driving back home from Ossining after class, I saw a flock of turkeys gathered amongst the bramble near the Saw Mill Parkway. I was so excited I slowed down to look at them, forgetting for an instant that I was driving!! Thank goodness no one was behind me! It was so interesting (to me) to see turkeys "in the wild" like that. Even after five years in New York, my first thought was, "I'd never see anything like THAT in California!" :)
Thanks, everybody, for your delightful and interesting postings. What a wonderful world we live in, to have so many options from which to choose!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time with Eudora Welty -- she's quite a lady!
