QotD: Where in the World...

If you were independently wealthy, where in the world would you live?

OK that depends on just how wealthy I am. If we are talking about Bill Gates dimensions (one can dream) I wouldn't live in just one part of the world. I would have houses in

- The Rocky Mountains in Canada because it is truly the most amazing place I have ever been to. 
- An idyllic rural area by a lake in Sweden (because I have always loved Sweden).
- One of the cobbled streets in Central Vienna (because that's where I'm from).
- Muswell Hill in London (because that's where I live now and like it, and I assume money won't be a problem).

And would it be too immodest to ask for a beach house in California as well? Hmmm... 

If I'm just "normal" wealthy then I guess I would have to go for the nice house by a lake in Sweden within reasonable reach of Stockholm....
