I'm from Tasmania, Australia, but I live in The Netherlands, Europe.

Australia like: It's beautifull and friendly for the most part, and the economy is pretty good in comparison to other continents.

Australia dislike: Expensive beer.

The Netherlands like: Cheap beer, legal drugs and young skanks.

The Netherlands dislike: Too many idiot foreigners with no respect or discipline, no nature to speak off and the retarded government.

Wow... your love of the Netherlands is very nice Millenium...........

I live in North East Ohio, I have for my entire life. I'm from Portage county to be a little more precise. I really don't like the United States you guys. Why can't I be Canadian?

Yes, if you put it together this way. But the isles itself are no part of Australia. So, an option for Oceania or Australia should be changed to Australia and Oceania then? I think keeping it separate is more interesting for us.

NZ and the other "isles" aren't a part of Australia, the country. But they are considered part of Australia, the continent. It's kind of like how Britain, Ireland and Iceland are considered part of Europe.

"Oceania" isn't a continent. "Australia and Oceania" isn't the name of the continent, either. So your real complaint is that asking people to list their continent is unfair to those who don't live on mainlands.

Well I mean, compare it to your Australian Likes... I would much rather live in Australia if I had to choose.

I come from the land of the ice and snow. From the midnight sun and the hot springs blow. In other words: Iceland!

What I like most about Iceland:
The nature, omg the nature. Volcanoes, hot springs, lakes, mountains, caves, glaciers, waterfalls.
The water we drink (straight from the tap) is sooo good and, best of all, free. Much better than any water I've ever bought when visiting other countries.
Mostly a very peaceful country.

What I don't like:
The goddamnable wind. When will it stop?
Everything is pricey.

haha yeah i believe you. even here in germany without icelandic water, the water out of the water tap (is that the correct word?) is better than the water you can buy. i believe i read some time ago that it's better in usa as well (not sure if it was usa). they made a blind test with that water and water from the supermaket and supermarket water lost thetaste test and ithe water from the water tap is almost free.

I think SethNintendo would like the Netherlands I think, reading his posts.

And naturally, the quarterpounder is called Big Mac over there.

depends where you come from. in germany we call the continent "australien/ozeanien" which means exactly that. or it is called officially only australia but they write "australia/oceania" in every atlas. so wouldn't be too bad to call it like that in the poll but only australia would be correct.



I'm from Spain, I've spent the last 1/3 of my life (7 years) in the UK and just about to move to Japan (just a few weeks!!!). Voted Europe obviously.

I'll keep the likes/dislikes short because I can talk about this for ages.

Spain like: Good food, good weather (not so much where I live though), good life, unless you're affected by...
Spain dislike: Economy is utter shit.

UK like: Very varied people, jobs, food, nationalities, forms of entertainment, everything. At least in London.
UK dislike: Too many people are rude, crazy, violent or fucked up in some other way(again I'm talking about London). Taking a night bus is an adventure.

Japan like: Very different life and culture, super-mega-friendly people, Westerners are popular among chicks.
Japan dislike: Too much pressure from society to behave a certain way which can lead to some attitudes that piss me off.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Tennessee
Likes: Cheap gas, cheap products, extremely varied environments, one can actually take in every season, lots of wildlife but yet not desolate, racist old people, massive civil war fetish, numerous churches, few bars, no online sales tax, no state income tax, lots of lakes, no need for rationing anything, numerous charities
Dislikes: racist old people,very hot summers, poor amusement parks,annoying politicians who kill to win elections
