- What do you like about your country?
I think telling you what I don't like would be much easier, still taken a lot of time, which I don't have, as it is already freaking three in the morning, and I have to rise and shine way too early. Anywayzzz, I like the freedom, I like the drinking age, I like the do what ever you want, whenever you want, wherever you want culture. (I like the Monday things they say...). I like the nationalism, the soccer/football sensation and ambiance. I like driving on the right side of the road; I like sailing and driving ships in our waters, which are plenty over here; I like the obliged insurances and the caring for people that don't got anything; I like the music on the radio; I like the non-synchronized movies on television; I like the diversity of shit we learn at school - also liking the fact that we have different schools for different smartness'; I like the beer; I like the tourists; I like being able to bike to everywhere, as everything lies so close upon...

- What do you dislike?
I don't like the bureaucracy; I don't like the cowardliness of our government; I don't like the typical pure dutch people; I don't like people always being in a hurry; I don't like people ignoring the traffic lights; I don't like the doctors; I defintly don't like the macho dutch guys - we have a lot of 'em. I don't like the turkish people making stupid jokes; I don't like Geert Wilders; I don't like the fact that people are being liquidized in the city I live; I don't like the need to put people into boxes - stamping, labeling; I don't like the greediness.

- What country would you live in, were you given the choice?
England, I love the accent, and I tend to write centimetre instead of centimeter. One thing I won't like is driving left.
Belgium, I love the people over there. That's just it.
Germany, Lovely Country, but New Zealand might be better...
America, I wanted to do High School over there - like in the movies

- What country would you/do you like to visit?
England, Ireland, America, Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, South Africa

- If you're not a native English speaker, where/how did you learn to speak English?
It all started with Television. Then computer stuff. Later, we learned some red yellow green and blue shit at primary school. Rest of television, music, dictionary, school (order of effectiveness)

- What do you dislike?
That implies there is a something bad about Australia. I challenge you to a duel.

I like the way you think.

 

[hima]

I live in Thailand...which unfortunately has to go int other asian countries group :'(  (j/k)

- What do you like about your country?

  Things are pretty cheap around here. Foods are easy to find and they're great too. The school and college isn't that strict, in some ways, like in other countries. I also like how we can talk to stranger as if we've known them.

- What do you dislike?

   Too many people still believe in superstition. Too many poor people, and they don't really care to find a job because they believe that good fortune will come to them eventually.  Also, I want to work in a game development field but I'm hopeless here because video game is probably the last thing the government care. What's worse is that, most Thai people hate Thai games. That's why I release my game to foreign communities rather than Thai community lol. They won't be too harsh, if they don't know that the game is made by Thai.  Also, too many pirate software and movies around here.

- What country would you live in, were you given the choice?

   Would still be Thailand. I still have this stupid hope that maybe I can do something to improve this country's gaming industry. England, Scotland and America are the other countries that I would like to live there.

- What country would you/do you like to visit?
  Too many. Spain, Japan, Singapore, Italy, Netherland, New Zealand, Australia, England and many more.

- If you're not a native English speaker, where/how did you learn to speak English?
   
   My dad  forced me to read English books together with him when I was really young. Then, my mom's friend, who's from Philippine, taught me English. I think I was like 8 - 10 back then. After that I was sent to a camp that full of foreign kids who came to visit Thailand with me being the only Thai kid there. So it kinda forced me to speak English lol.
   I also was an exchange student to the U.S. for a year duing my junior year in highschool. Good time.

 

[Tindy]

Amerika.

- What do you like about your country?

The history and the old people.  No, seriously - talk to an old person.  They're really cool.

- What do you dislike?

The politics, the policies, the racism and double-standards, the whole double standards on different religions thing, the public school system, the housing crunch, the uni prices....

- What country would you live in, were you given the choice?
Japan.  I lived there for a short time and I absolutely loved it.  It's a lot more peaceful there. In the small towns, that is, Tokyo and Kyoto aren't much different than American cities.  I'm going over there hopefully next year for a semester and plan on going over there for a year or so after graduation for the JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) program.  (Though as for living there full time....eh, I'm a homebody.)

- What country would you/do you like to visit?
England, New Zealand, Germany, Norway, Africa (any part of it not at war :/), Russia

[Kraft]

USA Baby!

- What do you like about your country?
I, like venetia, like being the world police... only problem with that is that we are also the worlds baby sitter...

- What do you dislike?
Other than the point mentioned above, I dislike people like Hillary Clinton (big shock!) her husband, stupid people, gangs, black people gangs (dont get racism mixed into this, I dont mind black people, I dont like their gangs and stuff...)   

also really dont like how you cant get away with anything anymore... If you try to pull a prank on someone you dont know, you are more then likley going to either get shot, stabbed, get your arse hauled off to jail and then sued for all you are worth.

I also dont like how some people just dont care about things.  Whatever puts them one step higher on the ladder of financial success they will do without thinking.


- What country would you live in, were you given the choice?

France

- What country would you/do you like to visit?

New Zealand (want to) London, Rome, Paris (have been, I like ^_^) and maybe a few other european countries.

@ Darkfire : yeah i dont think you got any right to complain about gas prices. in canada we pay $6.18 so yeah

Damn it...  I knew I should have replied after I saw Venetia's post.  If anyone cares to check my original post, they would notice that I said I do know gas costs more elsewhere.  You don't have to keep rubbing it in. 

I was complaining because it really sucks when you work minimum wage, commute 20 minutes to half an hour to work and school, pay $500-600+ a semester on books, and have to cover whatever my Stafford Loan doesn't pay on tuition since my parents went into major credit card debt (and seriously fucked up their credit) putting my five year elder sister through college (in-state, I might add.)

Gas is higher in other countries, and there are probably people in situations similar or worse than mine, but that is where I am.  If you don't think I have the right to complain about higher gas prices in jolly old Canton, Ohio, then fuck you.

btw, isn't the Canadian dollar still worth less than the American?  I know the gap has closed a bit , but... (apparently it has changed a bit since 100.00USD is equal to 101.23CAD)

[Freyr]

I live in Finland.

- What do you like about your country?
There's not that much crime. Social benefit is in a good state. Beautiful nature (which is getting destroyed as we speak, though).
- What do you dislike?
Right now gas and food are atrociously expensive. The new government has fucked up pretty much everything and freedom of speech is constantly being threatened (e.g. the Swedish army is allowed to listen phone calls coming from Finland to Sweden and vice versa). I also can't understand what they're thinking in the court. A man who insulted politicians was sentenced to 3 years in prison, but rapists and pedophiles usually get about 1 and a half year (and most of them aren't even taken to prison). The media is getting more and more disgusting every day. Sometimes I feel like I don't want to be a part of this society, but I'm pretty much forced to.
- What country would you live in, were you given the choice?
I don't know. I'd propably just stay here.
- What country would you/do you like to visit?
Greece, Norway  etc.
- If you're not a native English speaker, where/how did you learn to speak English?
At school.

[NunoAle]

Hey guys, I'm portuguese

- What do you like about your country?
I love my country's weather and it's ambience. You just know that there is history everywhere and everything looks familiar. Most of the people are nice and helpful, and mind you, not like in big cities (and I'm refering to our capital).
- What do you dislike?
I dislike it's economy. People are poor, the minimum wage is about 1/4 then the minimum wage in Ireland, you can barely live with it, and I hate it's politicians. Hate the dangers in the night and the scandles that shine on us everyday.
- What country would you live in, were you given the choice?
Ireland. I think it's beautiful, and people have good lifes there. The only thing I don't like is the cold.
- What country would you/do you like to visit?
England. Always had an interest for it!
- If you're not a native English speaker, where/how did you learn to speak English?
I watched ALOT of Cartoon Network when I was little (you know, Dexter's Lab, Cow and Chicken, etc)... By the time school started teaching me English, I already knew how to talk and a bit to write, from then to now I've always been a perfect student in English, and have been evolving my english skills.
