You get $5 million but have to spend 10 years in a random location....

Man, that exercise was depressing.....
The first one I got wasnt even close to a town, just a random field with scattered out buildings north of Mexico City. Looked like concentration camp.
The next was a little town in Bulgaria, near the Black Sea and probably a 100 miles to Istanbul. As economically depressed as Bulgaria is I gotta feel my money would go a pretty long way.....but Bulgaria, damn.

Maybe so...As long as I don't have to sit there and look at corn for 10 years. [laughing]That’s not a bad spot CIL
Spent a very fun year in Korea with several trips to Seoul. Mama-san can cook too!
I got somewhere in Slovenia close to the border towards Zagreb Croatia. $5 million will go a long way
I'm convinced that there is a message board for an Uzbekistan soccer team doing this same thing. I can just see one of them getting Florida and going "no f'ing way".
If you have some coin in Istanbul you can have a helluva time. And when I say coin, I mean $100 American a night is fine.
Camino Bermúdez, 35, 38729, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain
Landed on a small farm about 40 miles east of Antwerp. Why not? Should be a lot of fun, probably wouldn’t come back with any money.
This thing doesn't seem that random... you'd think - just on the amount of streets - that there would be a lot more in India, China, the US and Africa. Instead, lots of Western Europe.
It put me on a dirt road in Kalofer, Bulgaria, a small mountain village. but it looks like a pretty nice little village, there are some bigger cities not too awfully far away. Sofia is a little over 2 hours away. My Fiance spent a few years doing mission work with orphans in places like Belarus and Romania, so she would be able to adapt us over there pretty well. I think the money would go a long way there and could afford us proper safety and security wherever we go. So yeah, I could do it.
Zlatarista, Bulgaria. Middle of nowhere and looks like it didn’t make it past the Cold War. At least I’d be the richest guy there.
I got Unnamed Road in Botswana.
I’ll go. $5 million should by the whole country with a few million to spare.

1. Got Hualaihue, Chile. Looks like coastal parts of Alaska.
2. Sarraguzan, France. Flat farming community not too far from the Spanish border.....looks like Indiana.
3. Zevenhuizen, Netherlands. Very close to Rotterdam and The Hague. Swampy, low lands. Looks like parts of Michigan/Wisconsin/Minnesota.
I would have absolutely no issue with any of these......but my preference would be #3, #2, #1 in that order. My wife would be fine with #'s 2, 3......but would have to be convinced of #1.......mainly just because it's so far away from the nearest good sized town.
What's the rules with this thing? Could we relocate to the random location, live there, but do a lot of traveling? Or do we "have to" stay there?

Yep that land in Denmark I got looks pretty great. But I can't make the trip to copenhagen or Paris or anywhere else in Western Europe I may get a bit upset.
If I made the rules you would do things like you do now. Live there but be able to take weekend trips to nearby places. You could also take a couple of week long bigger vacations to see the sites in other countries.

If you are close to Rotterdam and The Hague, you are also no more than a 25 minute train ride to downtown Amsterdam. I think you got the best spot. I worked over there on and off for a couple years. The best.
The rules(since I started the thread):
- 1 one week vacation per year out of country. 1 one week vacation in country. Both can be split into a 3/4 day trip but maximum of 7 days.
- Otherwise local travel within 50 mile radius of location.
