Living in a foreign country

Featured Replies

I went to London about 4 years ago and since then I want to go to live there... maybe not forever, but for a period of time. I experimented something similar whent I visited Rome last month.

I know here there's a lot of people living in contries that are not yours... I want you to explain anything you like abaut this experience. :)

i would very much like to live abroad at some point, though i think it would have to be in an english speaking country

 

either that or a scandinavian country

Yeah, other countries always seems better than your own. I didn't want to leave Norway, but I had to :(

Having grown up in London, Yossarian can safely say there is only one city he'd rather be from.

 

Yossarian finds it very easy to relate to people who grew up in large cities. If Yossarian meets a girl from Chicago or Paris or Moscow he is like oh my gosh she is fit but if Yossarian meets a lady from any town smaller than London he thinks she is a TOTAL FUCKING HICK and ignores her.

 

London is a very special city.

^^ Well, someties you need to leave.. but I want.

 

 

Greg, english speaking only? Why??

 

I mean, I want to speak English perfectly because i love it... but you already DO! XD

Spanish is the most useful language for travelling.

Dutch is the easiest language to read.

French is the easiest language to speak.

Mandarin is the most beautiful language.

And Arabic is the most fun.

 

Merci

Danke schoen

well if i loved a girl from a foreign country i would move for her, but otherwise if i was having a big upheaval and moving to another country with a different culture, i would want to move somewhere that i wouldn't have to learn a language as well, since that would make things a lot harder.

 

obviously when i'm older and more settled in what i do i am guessing i would be more likely to learn a new language, but right now with everything that is happening i cannot imagine doing it for the foreseeable future.

 

i know basic german (or at least i used to do when i was at school, so germany is a possibility), andi used to know a little french, but that is all forgotten now.

For people that have something else to say, apart form languages:

I wanna live in NY :bigcry:

I know here there's a lot of people living in contries that are not yours... I want you to explain anything you like abaut this experience. :)

 

I've lived in New York City and London and a tiny village in India and you should definitely try to spend some time abroad. Why? Oooh, for the obvious reasons, see the world, learn a language, get irritated by another culture, get even more irritated when going home again.

Meet interesting people; be depressed to death on Manhattan's east 96th Street (one of the world's best streets to be incredibly depressed!); step, erm almost drown in(to) holy cowshit in the monsoony Himalayas, yell at stupid indian men and curse their crazy karma; eat snakes and yessss: doggy in Huangzhou/ Canton. Despise the tattooed traveller idiots from around the world; try to learn body surfing in the Pacific in Mexico, drink a beer with an old chinese fart on Hawaii while contemplating life; let exquisitely tiny meatballs flip around in a restaurant because you don't know how to eat noodle soup with chop sticks in Tokio.

Smoke a spliff on (at/by/in/around/beneath/under??? :mad: ) the heather in Hampshire and then try to chat with the locals in a pub there with your school english, visit your older sister's schoolfriend in Rotherhithe-London and be absolutely knocked out by the fact that the chap that spoke on her boyfriend's answer machine was once a member of the Sex Pistols or the Clash (I forgot which). You know, stuff like that.

Moving to Argentina in 12 days :cool3:

I wanna live in Germany

 

I can't really complain about living here and if I moved to another country it would have to be a country with a similar culture...I can't imagine living outside europe, I even can't imagine living in East-Europe or South-Europe....

 

I don't know...right now I can't....maybe I can in the future

Moving to Argentina in 12 days :cool3:

seremos vecinos :wacky:

really? :o

 

seremos vecinos :wacky:

 

Si :D no sabias? hahah

I'd love to go live in a foreign country for a while. I think Spain would be a lovely place to go, and it'd help bolster my Spanish skills. :nice:
