I know there's a lot of good in Canada, And I'm quire proud right now during Olympic time. There's plenty of awesome nature and the major citieshave some great culture and whatnot. But most of Canada is suburbia. Wretched plain devoid of life suburbia. The cities can be pretty pricy to live in, and the thought of living in Suburbia (or worse yet, raising children there) is too painful a thought to bear.

Korea's got it's backwoods dung heaps too, but the majority of Korea is major cities with vibrant cores, a thriving market life, Night life that actually extends in to the night and the ability, nay, the imperative to just go outside and enjoy yourself. with a 20 minute walk of my apartment I can hit up the batting cages, 2 theatres, a petting zoo, a mountain range with buddhist temples and outdoor fitness parks, a major beach, 40 bars, 100 restaurants, 20 karaoke rooms, video golf rooms, driving ranges, outdoor markets and a ton of other stuff, or I can just meet friends at the convenience store, buy some korean vodka for a buck a bottle and drink outside (while playing scrabble).

You can go to a bar all night long and get a subway back the next morning. In Canadian suburbia your choices for what to do at night are pretty damn slim. There are movies, bars that close at 1 or 2 spilling drunks out in the middle of the night faced with the choice of very expensive cab rides or driving home, or just going to someone's house. 

Canada would be a lot better if there could be urban public spaces that aren't malls. But the car has kind of wrecked that chance. How do cities like Winnipeg, Hamilton, Mississauga, Quebec City, Halifax and Ottawa not have rail transit!? Our Nation's Capital can't even get it's act together to build a subway or LRT? If Canada could get over the convenience of too much space and too many cars and actually build up instead of just sprawling out, I imagine that much of the Country could enjoy the culturally interesting and socially active life that it's most major cities currently enjoy(for a hefty price), but the lure of paying so much less to get so damned much more has kind of tainted my Canadian living desires.

I would say its pretty good.Very beautifull when theres snow in the winter(although it gets extremely dark) and endless days of sun in the summer.People are generally quiet and reserved,however they usually liven up after a few drinks.
