The closest I get here is, go to pizza with friends, and take a train to club/pub/dinner on weekends. Or go to the beach on the holidays.

Unfortunately, Danish is the only language I've ever encountered that I have been physically incapable of producing the correct sounds. My mouth literally can't form the appropriate shapes. I'm Danish. You're pretty silly saying that "it's not 40 degrees and humid there". Atm it's about 2C, raining and windy, how is that better? (and it's dark like 60% of the day) I'm sorry to let you down but we have no danish princess atm (i think, lol). Unless you plan on getting married to a 4 year old. I dont recommend Denmark, but I guess the grass is always greener on the other side as people have said. | ||

For the record the UK is the most historic nation in the world, it has the best tradition, the best media coverage, the best universities, the best music, the best sport (we punch well above our weight in almost all sports), the best law system and the best politics system. We generally take the best from other countries and take the best. We do have our problems though: Bad weather, poor youth culture, and mediocre women. But if you are looking for experiences this place has it. France is also pretty good as its food is of much better quality on average then any other country, and a great mix of climates. Visited Denmark for a day didnt seem like there was anything remarkable about it, didnt seem like the country deserves the cred it is getting here. Never been to sweden, but none of the Swedes here seem that content with it. | ||

Well the fact that the UK is a mixture of virtually every breed and langauge/culture + history would support your argument, but how can it be "best" or favorable in terms of history? Many countries contributed to the history of the UK good and bad, so it's not YOURS, per se. Get it ? Denmark is a small country, a proud country, and we have a high standard of living for most ppl. We got few homeless, truly homeless people, and we take care of everybody, the poor, the sick etc.. we got a healthy social and economical system, viable healthcare, viable banks, viable corporations... and we have a good political climate.. argueably. We have alot of quality based on how few people we aactually are. Remember we achieve alot with few people. You achieve alot with an abundance of people. See the difference ? Oh yeah and we got free education for most people. You can be whatever you wanna be, if you're good at it. True pursuit of happiness, without economical barriers, only intelligence and creativity sets your own limits.. so. | ||

Switzerland is really nice pretty warm most of the year and in the winter close to skiing. Pay is great and standard and quality of life very nice. Lived in Japan and Tokyo for 2 years love it to death, most exciting fun cool place on Earth I'm sure but I'd hate to live there my whole life, you really start to realize many bad things the longer you stay there. In that regard I have really grown to like Sweden more as I've been abroad quite alot and it's not bad here, not at all in comparison to anywhere at least in Europe except Scandinavia and Switzerland. The Netherlands is alright, Germany too but still doesn't feel as high standard as here for some reason. The rest of the countries in Europe are kinda meh, and I've been to almost all of them. Even Japan is not as nice as people thinks, when you get out of the main centre of Tokyo and the culture of Kyoto it really feels like you're transported back 20 years to something which is not very different from Thailand. The people though are amazing and prices are NOT bad at all, it IS the most fun place in the world for all I've experienced but to have children there, no way. On the other hand In response to the guy above which likes the UK, what a piece of garbage I must say. It has some charm the people can be alright too. Other than that, the standard is god save the Queen awful, London is dirty, the city is hella boring and gray, the houses pretty small and expensive as hell and for it you get a house which could be from Albania in terms of standard. Food sucks the women are bloody not too nice and the weather etc is not great either. Ok I do tend to exaggerate abit but not more than the guy above me does too to be honest. I wonder just how you ended up like that, with all the best Universities, best culture, best sport abilities and so on... please explain! | ||

I think he was referring to princess Mary when he said the Danish royal family seem to have a thing for Aussies because the danish prince is married to an australian women or tasmanian . And why is it silly to say that it's not 40 degrees ad humid here when it's true o.O maybe he likes a little colder weather than warmth and heat and high humid all the time in Australia. Not all the time but a long time of the year. | ||

I go there on vacation often to visit family and what not and I like it there. There's always something to do. It can get pretty boring sometimes though =/. I don't think I would move there permanently though. If I could, I would go back and forth between Portugal and the U.S. I actually like living in the states. | ||

Can't say I'm proud of Denmark as a nation. Sure all the welfare is amazing, but I often wonder if it's building better people. Huge public sector. | ||

It seems all my asian international friends enjoy Australian culture but find it a boring country to live in cos its too quiet since we dont have the insane day/night business hours of Hong Kong or Tokyo and there isnt much of a nightlife outside of the cbd. On the opposite side I would never want to live in a city like Hong Kong or Tokyo because of the hurried pace of the people and the lack of room to stretch my legs and walk around. | ||

Living in Boston isnt so bad, but occasionally I am reminded that my country is run by a secret republican, half the states are theocracies and I have had to take on 60 grand in student loans just to do 4 years of undergrad and 1 year of graduate school because my government literally does not value my education, health or well being. | ||
