Up shit creek.
So living in America, a common opinion for a while at least was that America is the best country in the world. These days many americans disagree and I'm sure people outside the U.S. scoff at the notion. Although if you asked someone in Colombia they might well say Colombia which is the same thing, saying your own country is the best.

I know there's a million variables and this is really an impossible question to answer when you try to factor in ALL the variables. America does have a ton of unique incredible qualities and also many well publicized negatives.

If it's between Germany or the USA I'd much rather live in the USA.

Haven't really lived in other places so I can't comment but I'd shoot myself if I had to live in Greece or Italy for more than a month.

norway actually does have a lot of soft soil, sinking, and slope stability problems so yea my field is prolly in high demand there. but do i need to speak Norwegian? i remember looking at some other EU countries and i was kind of hosed since i didn't speak the native language.

no you don't need to learn a word unless it's a government job, I know several americans, canadians and mexicans who've lived here for years without bothering to learn the language

I lived a few places over the years, and honestly I realised I hate cities and hipsters and diets where the main starch is not potato based, so I settled back into the Irish town I left many a moon ago and have never been happier :3: That said I also nearly bought a house in anaheim and portugal so ymmv

are the same thing!

Denmark is alright but it's quite small even by European standards as well as being disturbingly flat and plaid. Every single house is made of red bricks so it's like you're in candyland or some poo poo. Booze is really cheap and plentiful though.

Norwegians are a bit off somehow. They got mad oil money though.

Sweden rules. It's like Denmark but better.

having lived in all three scandinavian countries for several years, I'd say norwegians are almost exactly the same as swedes, at least when you get to know them, but danes are a little different

I really admired that the Czech cities were so beautiful and everything seemed to run pretty well and the basics were so cheap, yet no one seemed to work that hard. The attitude to most things was "Who gives a poo poo?" and the zoos were awesome.

As Dane, I agree with this statement. Only trouble with sweden is alcohol prices and buying alcohol late at night.
