TBH, Denmark would be perfect except for the fact that its as flat as a pancake. I don't think I could live anywhere flat for any length if time (so that rules out Benelux too).
The south of Germany sounds nice, we went on holiday to The Black Forest several years ago so I've seen parts of it, it was great, and also we've been to Austria and Switzerland too, but, and don't get me wrong, its all very nice and all, but its a bit tame when you have a little railway up the side of each mountain and a tearoom/restaurant at the top. That is where I do like Scotland, but I am not moving to THAT Godforsaken country, oh no no no!
As for Eastern Europe, as I say, I always liked Poland and it is one of the few places I didn't feel like a foreigner (which is strange seeing as I was), but what a corker of a language! I'd more than happily settle in Wolsztyn or similar and work on the steam locos (that said, the area is seriously flat, so, maybe not!). The other Eastern European countries sound interesting too and the Balkan countries have long interested me, partly due to their recent history and partly due to their purported beauty.
They also run former British class 87s and '92s in Bulgaria, which is something I'd love to see (I wonder how you go about getting a job driving them?
)
Dell, I had thought about some African countries, but, a bit like countries like India, Pakistan etc, I almost feel like I wouldn't belong there. Maybe I'd be wrong, and its a very silly thing to say anyway, I know, but there you go.
That said, Lebanon sounds nice, although I know little about it.
There are so many suggestions, I really did like the picture of this place for example, although I imagine you'd be stuck in some town in a valley instead:
I'd really have to think about them all properly!
