TOP 5
Mr. JERICHO gave me an idea to start new thread.
I would like to see what other ATCOs consider as TOP 5 places for work. Full name of airport or facility , IATA code and ICAO code, and short reason why. For some places I believe there is no special reason. Just name it!

Gin Gin Tower, Western Australia....
Great spot to top up the tan and conduct road tests with the Air Force vehicles and determine what braking distance is required from a 180km/h mach run on the airfield perimeter road

Agree 100% with heathrow, easy life. I believe it changed somewhat after Approach moved to LATCC... The old 6th floor Approach Room really was something else....

Tahiti is absolutely No1, but not exactly FAAA airport but Bora Bora definitly. As someone who worked with French ATCOs I have already cheked possibility but they told that only two requirements had existed. Be French citizen and French language of course. My answer was that I could solve French passport somehow ( for 100 EURs circa) but how to learn french
. Anyway I hope that I will visit Society Islands as tourist.

I'm affraid you have to work for the French ANSP to go to Tahiti.
Now, don't give up all hope, here is the solution.
Up to now, you needed to be French citizen, but I think that starting next year you'll just have to be EU citizen, with or without a licence.
Off course you'll have to get a ICAO level 4 or 5 in French, spend 20years in a location in France (included probably 10 in the north-east part of France), and then, maybe, if you're really lucky, you'll get a small chance to work over there... maybe.
See, easy

On a famil visit to Bali and Ujung in 2000, I was taken up the tower at Bali.
Surf heaven! I could sit there all day and check out which break I would surf after my shift finishes. The traffic isn't too hectic. And the beautiful Indonesian controller (Lei, was her name), with the cafe au lait skin and the million watt smile (be still my beating heart).
Bali tower for me anyday.
