043; [19/50 QTWFYM] battle of the accents

So I stumbled upon a website with a whole bunch of questions, 50 to be exact, that one can ask them self. I love talking about life and self, although it can be depressing sometimes... Anyway, I scanned through the questions and I thought it would be kind of fun to answer them in this blog. So hope you enjoy my answers, and please feel free to leave YOUR answer in the comments. 

50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind
19. If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why?
What an appropriate question for someone who is moving.
If I had to move to a different state (or as Canadians call it "province"), I'd move to British Columbia (Vancouver) because it's the most similar to Ontario (Toronto): city + suburbs, multicultural, good schools.
If I had to move to a different country, I'd pick an English speaking place because getting forced to learn a language intimidates me. I also love diversity. City living or suburbs is a must. I think England (maybe Leeds or London) or Australia (Adelaide - apparently teachers are in demand in this area, Perth, or Canberra) fits well. It's just a matter of which regional accent I like better.

042; [18/50 QTWFYM] floating onwards

18. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of? 

I admit, I collect random things that have good memories attached to them. 
I admit, I can be an overly sentimental person who attaches meaning to things way to easily...bus transfers, wrapping paper, business cards, songs... 
I don't think I need to let go of these things though. 

In terms of dying relationships, I think I just let things float on - not really holding on but at the back of my mind knowing that they're still there. Because I used to "hold on" to people, I learned if they're not holding on to you it gets tiresome and a dying relationship is a result of that. By having these used-to-be-significant people float on, I'm not exactly cutting out the ties completely. In fact, I don't think I'd mind re-establishing ties. So no, I don't think I need to completely let go of these people.

17. What's one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What is holding you back?
One thing I want to do: party at hogwarts! Realistically, I want to live in Japan
What's holding me back?: That hefty price tag. And also my mission to finish schooling as fast as I can... (I'll soon be living in China for more than half a year so I feel like I'm getting closer!)

On a side note, I'm (re)reading the Harry Potter books again - Prisoner of Azkaban right now.  Here are the first two stories drawn out in a nutshell:
Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone 
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
