www.google.com/ncr

That will take you to Google.com. I'm not sure about removing your location though.

Using this link should work as a quick fix as well: http://www.google.co...main?prefdom=US

I found this to be the case only with Opera. There was no way I could go to google.com, but only google.bg. Of course I could have it in English, but it would absolutely not let me go to google.com. But in Firefox and IE, I'm able to.

when you open your local google website, look at the bottom, it says "go to google.com"

Edit: Nevermind, it's not working for me either. WTF? weird.

Saw this thread and tried myself, same here I cant go to Google.com, used all three different methods described in this thread doesn't work like it usually does. Using Chrome. It's probably a temporary bug.
