British - I like a nice cup of tea, although your women are a bit ropey and the royalty all have teeth like a bag of cheesy doritos

Ooh, that's an interesting one...

Perhaps Norwegian, as they enjoy a good standard of living, loads of outdoor and natural stuff, and lots of very, very fit proper blonde ladies...

I can't think of being another 'race', as I'm not of one particular racial group, and therefore higher up the evolutionary ladder anyway. ๐Ÿ™‚

Maybe being a young Japanese lass would be fun. I could giggle a lot, wear quirky outfits, get excited over 'Hello Kitty', sell my used underwear for lots of money and generally conform to a very narrow Western stereotypical misconception....

(Googling 'Japanese Girls' is [b]not[/b], I repeat [b]not[/b] an edifying experience, even with Safe Search on 'Strict'...)

Canadian here as well. Heartbreakingly beautiful country, lovely people with none of the wierd hangups the neighbours to the south have. Like drinking, for example.

I take issue with the food statement! Rather have British food any day of the week! (Yes I've had a fair amount of French food)

Personlly, I'm really proud to be English, and of England, but if I HAD TO choose another, I'd be Italian.
Best climate I've ever experienced, they're all a bit mad, they know a bit a bout cars and bikes it has to be said, and THEIR food IS fantastic!
And the country has that same sort of 'lived in for 2000 years' look where the surroundings compliment the buildings and visa-versa that England does. Like it's meant to be there.....
And they have a wacking great huge volcano (Etna) ๐Ÿ™‚

I've never really thought of myself, or branded myself, as a "race" or "nationality", just "me". I'll just carry on trying to be me. It'd definitely be interesting to live somewhere really different and get lost in some other culture for a while though.

I'm assuming you are referring to Downs Syndrome, which is distinct from Cerebal Palsy...

Kevevs; what about being a Japanese girl? Could go about in all sorts of strange garb. Would be fun!

So you want to go somewhere different to experience their culture, but you have no culture of your own?

Or more precisely, you don't associate yourself with the national or racial culture of where you live/have grown up? Sounds very insular.

Amerindian - the people who I was happiest amongst and seemed the most content people on the Earth. They live in a really Marxist kind of way, with everything shared equally (at least the Makushi tribe do). Loved being there, hated leaving... wish I had stayed then perhaps my life wouldn't have been quite the **** up it turned out.

Still - live and learn I guess.

(sorry - been drinking way too much tonight, solo drinking = introspection... 3 bottles of red down, only one to go)
