    The best part of the best country?

    Here's a question. If you weren't married, i.e. no commitments to another, and you had enough cash, where would you live, with sensibility in mind? I am not talking penthouses in Manhattan, Porsches and the like, rather, where is the best place to live. Methinks Bali is not the answer. I...
