Was going to say USA so I could watch Baseball all day (and not at unearthly hours like here), but I can do that in Japan too :D

I'm so thankful that I have been born/raised in Canada, and whenever I have thought about uprooting and moving somewhere else, it has only been within Canada (somewhere nice in BC, specifically) so I haven't given the idea of actually emigrating to another country much thought.
However, if for some bizarre reason I was ever forced to leave Canada (), I would probably move to the north-eastern US or maybe Sweden/Norway/England (I think in that order, too). Warmer climates are not really my thing I guess :/

Another point about denmark is that ive been drinking "alcoholic beverages" since I was fucking 14, we know how to party here in the denmark.
And people can still party without being drunk out their ass, people are happy when i meet them, but then again I am pretty much allways affected by a happiness pill (just natural), just last friday I saw my crush ( i think it was here atleast lol ) kiss some other dude, now she acts like nothing has happend and the only thing that happend is me deciding not to hit on her any more. and most people are socially awesome in my envoirenment (is that spelled right?) atleast Oh did I mention beer? Cheap and delcious at every grocery store.
Denmark is also one helluva tolerant country for the most part. While there is exception its also known as one of the most gay friendly country in the world (bisexual girls isnt that uncommon at all, though homosexual boys are rarer). I want to be a big denmark commercial when I grow up, fuck yeah.. I like doing this.
Oh and we get paid to study, how awesume is that?

I like living here in LA. Moved here from Manila and I can't imagine any other place being much better. Other big cities in California may be close but I'd rather stay here. The only thing that's really bad is the traffic. It has a nice mix of Western culture with Asian influences, good weather and tons of authentic food from lots of different ethnicities.
If you like food, especially all sorts of Asian food, LA is really the place to be. The area has the largest or close to the largest population of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Iranian, Indian, etc. outside of their respective home countries. You can find all sorts of authentic food and fusions and whatnot over here.

I'm glad to see so many people praising the country where they were born/live. Whatever country you live in you should take pride in it because it's yours. If you are unhappy with a certain aspect of it you should own the issue instead of just bashing.

Why so ? If one doesn't like his homeland for reason X or Y, why couldn't one try and live in a place where one feels better ? Ain't that what the USA was all about in the first place ? To me that's what the discussion is all about, I don't see this forum as the place to 'own the issues' anyway but I don't see much bashing either. And anyhow, if I hate cold weather and the smell of dried fish, how am I supposed to own the issue of being born in &&&&'ing Greenland ? Start a business of processed meat ? Vote for the guy who promises free electric heaters for everyone ?

New Zealand--low taxes, friendly people, cheap land, gorgeous vistas (it's where they filmed LOTR), a high level of development. Plus it sits right on one of the trans-pacific cable routes, so you get low latency starcraft :D

Czech republic! seems like such an awesome country

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.

Hey man... When I went to the US, I spent several hours in Heathrow - Now I'm a f*cking expert on everything english. Now, I'm not gonna h8 - but really. I reckon you don't really know much about Denmark (or Sweden for that matter). Please stop hating.
As for the sports. Football put aside (how did the World Cup go btw, lolol + Chealsea is to play a danish team in Champions League - so what the...?!?) Caroline Wozniacki is danish - she's been ranked #1 world tennis player for around a year. We just came second in the handball world cup - after actually pushing the finals into extra time.
Denmark is (along with China and Taiwan (I reckon)) one of the single best countries in the world at badminton.
Really... I dont mind your opinion. But get your facts straight. Even if you don't care for tennis, handball or badminton it's still huge sports in other parts of your world. I really dont fancy cricket or tea - but you dont see me hating, do you?

The US has so much variety, I'd never want to leave permanently. For a few years, France. French is so beautiful. Never been to Germany, Japan or New Zealand but they sound interesting.
Funny to see so much climate-driven stuff, I wonder how many people prefer their 'native' climate and how many want to switch. I'm from Michigan, which has quite a range of weather (and actually is not the frozen tundra some seem to think it is). When I lived in California, it was sunny and warm every day... and I couldn't take it! I want rain, sun, snow, everything!

I'm really happy with the weather. Rain, sunny skies, snow and everything. But like 100+ days a year it's just grey'ish... Not cool... And even though I love the long summer nights (sun's going down around 11pm in the summer) - I just find Denmark to be too cold. But somehow (this goes for everywhere in the world) - the further you get towards the equator - the more a nation's economy is based on tourism, which leads to it's LESS focused on education/production/service. So if I could have an australian/canadian/scandinavian-type o' country with a southern europe-like climate, I'd love it.
..... I actually think this is kindda what Australia is like... but I hope you're getting my point

What are you talking about man? Australia is great!! I've been there several times, 1 time with a working visum and served as a bartender in Byron Bay for a good 6 months.. Just one long party man
Also, the wildlife you guys have.. You just don't find it anywhere else on the planet..
Oh, and did I mention Darling Harbour at sunset with a clear sky? And the barrier reef? And Cairns in autum? (When it's not flooded and being hit by hurricanes) And Coala bears?
God damn it man, your country is awesome, you should pay more attention
