Around the Network

Canada
Good:
- Health Care
- Multicultural (not often you find racism in Toronto specifically)
- Plastic money and no pennies (yes we can run out bills in water and we are still good to go lol)
Bad:
- 13% tax basically on everything including games. PS4 will be approx. $455 with tax I believe
- Screwed with crappy versions of Netflix, no Hulu etc.
- We are looked at by other Countries as the US B****, yet we are Britain's B**** Lol.

On a technical Level Canada is great, on the surface level they have alot more Negatives though. Hell US is right under US and they think Canada is all mounties and Southern Kids don't know what snow is. I asked a Kid what they thought the white stuff was is south park, mario, Sonic etc, they told me Cloud lands lmao.



Australia
Good:
Health Care
Weather (sometimes)
Income (our dollar was above the US not to long ago and we get paid more... I think)

Bad:
Internet
INTERNET
INTERNET!!!



US

Good:
- Wide variety of cultures and races represented from all across the world
- Codified commitment to individual liberties
- Bacon cheeseburgers

Bad:
- Two-faced populace that whines about taxes but won't accept service/benefit cuts that the lack of revenue necessitates
- Public loves complaining about politicians, but doesn't take proactive role to do anything about it
- Spiders keep making webs around the house whenever I need to take out the garbage



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

you rather live in portugal or netherlands?

out of curiosity who has the most beautiful women and handsome guys between the two countries? :P


Thats a difficult question. I'm more confortable living in Portugal, but  the employment situation is dire. I also have personal reasons to be in the netherlands. I might return one day, but for now im trying to make a living here.

Women are definitly better in Portugal. In here i see lots of women that look the same. I think theres a standard hair style and makeup set that all use within certain age groups. I swear its odd. In general, they are ugly in the netherlands.

Guys, im not really sure.

The Netherlands:

The Good:
- Liberal; the people are (mostly) laid back, nobody judges you, and smoking weed is legal.
- You can bike literally everywhere within the country, as there are bike lanes everywhere. (I biked through the province of Limburg over the summer and even accidentally ended up in Belgium and Germany a couple of times.) Public transport is also extensive and easy to use. No need for a car, really.
- I enjoy the country side; cows; quaint, small cities; polders; windmills; tulips; etc. Some may find it boring but I think it's Tolkien. Cute and whimsical. :P

The Bad:
- If you want to do any thing at night, there's not much to do. Even in Amsterdam a lot of shops close early. The exception being clubs, of course.
- Pixar movies are pushed back and only released on Chirstmas... and extra six months!? Bah!
- Lately, the conservative anti-islam thoughts in politics.

Oh, yes, and everybody speaks English. No worries about not speaking the throat-diseased Dutch.

how man language do you speak?


English, Spanish, and German (in order of how often I speak it). 

Ironically my Dutch is shit even though I was born here; I haven't lived in Holland for most of my life.

Sweden

Great things:

+ Free healthcare and education: It isn´t really free since we pay for it with taxes but who cares? :)
+ The summer and winter: Northern sweden has the most gorgeus summers and winters I have experienced
+ The music: Swedes are really good at it basically :)

Shit thing

- Taxes: The taxes are way too high and the government runs too many useless departments. It should focus on healthcare, education, infrastructure, a strong legal system, police and fire department and reduce other things.
- The movies: I actually find most Swedish movies to be crap.
- Console and game prices: The X1 will cost between 650-700§ and games will be 100§ each. So that kind of sucks big time.



Great: Culture, Sports, and umm

bad: Republicans, our Government, and most things that show up in the media
