Spain is pretty awesome but I chose Argentina because it's a lot cheaper to live in. 1 USD = 4 Argentine Pesos :laugh1:

Claro claro, todos me dicen esto :D Conoces a Anita (nihcoldplay) no? ella estaba en tu ciudad hace 2 semanas mas o menos. Me dijo que es muuyyy linda. no hay duda que viajare ahi algun dia :cool:

no, creo que no la conozco :uhoh:

 

Si, es genial :cool: bueno, mi opinión no es muy objetiva, me encanta y siempre he vivido acá :P

entonces tenes mucha suerte que amas tu pais y ciudad, no puedo decir lo mismo :(

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:

thought of any city in particular?

 

i thought to live in italy or germany but i'd have to learn another language.

i think both countries are beautiful and good to live there.

for both countries for no particular reason i thought of a border city, i think it'll be interesting.

I'm not sure about myself. I wouldn't mind living abroad for uni days or something, but leaving the country permanently would be hard. Not that my country's so perfect that I want to stay here, but my country has one of the best foods ever, imo, and there's friends, culture I'm used to, and so on. Leaving those and settling down into somewhere different is a great challenge.

But I'm considering the prospects of leaving this country, find a future overseas.

Not really. I'd like to find a city that's not too crowded, but not to the point of like, a village or something.

I absoultely want to move.... Spain is not as wonderful as beach and sun...

 

I wanna go to London or anyother place in Englad, or Scotland or Ireland... and I'd also like to live in Rome for some time so I colud learn Italian, and I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult for me, and meet Italian people.

I would welcome you!

My company sent me on job assignment to Wales for a year and it was a great experience. I wasn't prepared for the cultural difference to be as marked as it was (gee, it's another English speaking country, right?). And I never quite mastered the driving. But everyone was wonderful to me. My advice to anyone contemplating living in another culture is to remember that it's their country, not yours. Don't expect it to be just like home. Assimilate and be respectful. Being American, one of the most valuable lessons I learned was that the USA isn't the center of the universe and not everybody likes us! That was a hard thing to take but now when I have a decision to make, I always think of how it is going to impact our folks overseas -- not just what's in it for the USA. So if you get a chance to study or work in another country, grab the opportunity. It will make a big difference in your life.

Yes.... I hope I willl

I'd say go for it!

 

Its not as hard as you think it is, unless you wanna move really far away. I've never really had any problems.

I would welcome you!

 

:blush:

 

I may go someplace sometime, but not until I graduate and get enough funds and all that other good stuff. That'll be a few years yet.

without meaning to seem disrespectful i don't know many people who specifically like americans. some like america and the culture but i only know of people who have been proved wrong by americans and grow to like them.

 

same goes for british people as well, but the stereotype of charm gives us a slight advantage over you. still hated throughout in the main though. and rightly so given our past behaviour and leaders or former leaders (once again the whole anti US/UK stance is obviously because of stereotype)

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.

 

I was born and grew up in a 100,000 town. Narrow and paved streets brimming with ugly buildings and close minded,ignorant people. I'm far from that. And not everyone there's like that. And I'm average looking but I know some people rather hot from there.

I'd like to go study a degree or a semester in a foreign country, my 3 options are England, France and Germany. I arranged them according to my skills of each country's language.

may be live in a town near the big city will be good for you :)

we have many good places were to live quietly and good connected with bigger areas.

Madrid seems to be awesome. Or Sevilla.

madrid is great for concerts and tourism, but for me is too busy city, too much traffic.

there's people that :heart: that though.

I love the buzz and energy of big cities.

And seriously, after living in Mexico city, how bad can Madrid's crowds and bustle be?

4 MOAR DAYS UNTIL BUENOS AIRES

well in that case you won't notice a big difference then. :)

I lived in Manchester for 8 years, and I do really miss the place. I'd do anything to go back, but I don't think I'd ever permanently stay there. I can't stand the thought of leaving all my friends and family! If only there was a way to transport and relocate all of them there... How do you lot with experience cope with leaving friends and family behind?

 

Hopefully, one day, if I'm bothered to do my PhD, I might apply to do it in Manchester...
