Aren't you just the little philosopher!!!
I would live in the UK somewhere, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, etc. Ancestors are from there, love sheep and green moors (package deal there) and rock fences with rural life in a small village on the outskirts raising sheep, going to local herding competitions and riding horses and develop myself as a tea drinker with a wee bit 'o nip o' something in the lambing barn on those cold nights in spring checking the barn. I would like to find my family lineage folks and establish a relationship and live a simple homemade life in the mist...and be able to farm next to the ocean. I wouldn't own a car and I would walk or ride everywhere. Well, you asked!! It's my little fantasy.

That's a tough one.... I have always wanted to go to see the countries my ancestors came from-- England, France and Germany, but I would also love to see Italy.
I guess I will pick Italy. As far as I know there's no Itailian ancestors (so far anyway). Italy just seems very romantic, exotic but also very down to earth at the same time. Mysterious combination.

Native American. I am 1/4 Indian..Cherokee and Choctaw..but since it comes from both sides...my parents were both 1/4 and their parents too, it has been awhile back since there is any of the culture for sure. I have always been interested.

Aunt Jenny - I have Cherokee and Choctaw too (from my dad's side).
I would be that too ......or from Ireland/England (of which I am and it shows..lol) ... I would be terribly happy in a little cottage by the sea with bookshelves and herbs hanging in my kitchen with an aga stove and sheep and all that .....

ahhh yes .. jami .. i do love 'the question game' .. i think we all get to know each other better and that is how 'true friendships' are made. AND .. we get to know ourselves a little better to for having thought about 'things' and answered them for ourselves. aren't all the answers to these questions great!!!

Well lets see- If I had to be born into another culture, I think I would want to be born in ancient Greece! I have always been fascinated with the ancient cultures- wondering why a certain art or whathaveyou died out.

Aunt Jenny, immediately after reading your post the Tim McGraw version of a song came into my head - "half Cherokee and Chocktaw...". I'm sure that song may be offensive to Native Americans but it's interesting how a phrase can spur a song memory so fast.
Frannie, you're right...you get us thinking about things and sharing and I love the diverse answers and thoughts!

I'd love to be born in Ireland, since that's where my ancestors are from.

France--the women there eat yummy food, dress simple but classy and the architecture would keep me occupied for years.

Well technically I was born in another culture than where I live now. I was born in New England and now live in Arkansas. Many may not believe it but it is a big change. When I first came to college I suffered depression for the first few years I was in Arkansas because the change was so big. It didn't help that everyone always referred to me as the "damn yankee" eaither. I love Arkansas now but it was a huge adjustment. I think it was good for the people where I live cause I think I have changed their opinion about the "damn yankees".

I would say Irish or British culture... wait, Italian would be nice too. Oooh, choices choices!
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
