Canada without a shadow of doubt. I'm thinking I might move there some day anyway, but I'm very happy with cozy little Denmark for now.



Around the Network

Being from Canada and living in Vancouver. By all means I don't have that much a problem with the Country, but I still do want to move. I guess I just want to travel or be somewhere else. My entire family short of my wife and kids of course have move on. So it's just me and my wife and kids.

I would like to move to England or Venice just for the history. Though England is more likely. I do have some family their. I speak the language  even if I have a Canadian accent eh, I prefer cooler climates. I suppose what really holds me back is fear and that my uncle who came to visit told me the economy was in a horrible state. Since I'm not exactly top of the job market it would be very difficult.

I just want to move to Venice because the streets are water ways and it looks sooo beautiful. I really don't know much more about it. Though I love to use Google maps and browse the canals and get some of the angles. I wish street view was done in Venice.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

If I had to leave the US I would go the the United Arab Immerits. Dubia more specifically, but this would be only if i was rich as hell.



New Zealand, far in the south, far from everything. It would be... relaxing. I'm young but I already appreciate a lot of tranquillity and nature.



 

 

 

 

 

Denmark or the UK. Possibly the USA.

Denmark has the same style of living as Sweden but the mentality of its people is much better.

UK is great. I like Englishmen and I like the English culture.

USA is the land of opportunities. Everything there is cool. But it's also a bit risky. With bad luck you might end up in the gutter or get killed by a thug.

Out of curiosity, not knowing myself very much about the culture of Scandinavian countries, why do you say that the mentality of Danes is better than that of Swedes?

Hrm... probably somewhere in either the UK or Canada. I already know the language, both aren't hideously hot, and both have enough freedoms to not leave me feeling oppressed. I'd also like to go to Japan, but I really think that's a visit more than a live, and I need to finish learning the language...

Danes aren't as pretentious as Swedes. Far less politically correct. More natural and real, they don't pretend to be "holier than thou" as much as Swedes do. And they're much more relaxed and tolerant. Tolerant in an honest way - let's say you deviate from the majority's behaviour, for example you got personal problems, or you have awkward opinions, or you come late for work, you're religious, or you make mistakes, or you have a drinking problem etc - Danes won't point the finger at you, not talk behind your back, not discriminate and condemn you as much as Swedes do.

At the same time, and this might sound like a contradiction but it's not, Danish people are more proud of their country, more protective of it. They're not self haters like the Swedes.



Germany. I like the way their language sounds.

Wasn't that controversial Muhammad cartoon made by some Danes?If so good for them for not being intimidated by Islamic terrorists.

You should note that your perception of Danes and Swedes might be altered by the time you spend exposed to them. You spend most of your day sorrounded by swedes, and probably seldom interact with Danes. After living for a while in Denmark and constantly interactng with Danes, you may discover many of the faults you atribute to Swedes in them also.

As for your last paragraph, nationalism can be just as bad as self hate.
