Hello everybody,
I am cosidering moving to Canada. Before (and if) I do that, I would like to learn more about the country from people actually living there.
I would be grateful, if you could give me 10 things you like the most and the least about Canada. To help you out, here're my picks relating to the UK:
Ups:
1. They do speak English here. So do I (am trying, anyway
2. Relative closeness to my Home (the country, where I was born)
3. Brick houses (as opposed to 'wood and carboard' houses in the USA)
4. Relative closeness to the Old Continent (so much to see, but so little time and money to spare)
Downs:
1. Cost of living to wages ratio very disappointing
2. People (not quite as friendly as Americans)
3. People (constant rush - at work and especially on the roads)
4. People (highets violent crime rating in the EU - youngsters prefer
rather than going to school or getting a job)
5. People (very poor customer service and professionalism)
6. Weather (nothing like Arizona dry heat)
7. Poor pro-family policy
8. Ridiculous political correctness policy
9. Landscape - boring and dull, unless one take a day-long drive to Scotland, or a bit shorter to Wales
10. Fitness (poor choice of gyms, which are expensive and ill-equipped)
Cheers!
Kris
