You proud yankees and russians do you think your countries are the best places in the world?
If I could decide I would live in Switzerland, Austria or why not Monaco!
Northern Europe gives the Best educational possibilities in the WORLD. You donīt have to pay 9999999999 money to study in a Good university for instance. Read and learn. Just look at Nokia. Europes biggest company. Itīs finnish and it employs Finnish engineers! Whoa! Europe gots the beauty, the technology and the culture, what more could you ask for? Hamburgers? Vodka? Donīt think so!

Hi Petri

Excuse me, but, errr, the Finns make vodka too? :-)) "Finlandia" is just one of several nice brands they make.

Oh yes!, how could I forget. And Sweden too makes vodka. The Absolute Vodka.

Why do you like to live in Russia when there is such a fine country like India?

2 Petri:

Sure Russia is the best place to live in.
Living in Sweden/Finland/Austria could be ok for someone but it's so BORING.

After 1800 you are not able to find anyone on the streets. Everyone is sitting at home doing some hobbies

(well except of the capitals)

In Russia you have intensivness of life - 3 years in one. Maybe i'll change the country then i retire - but for a warmer place like Spain or Montenegro.

Petri:

Where is the best country in the world?

My answer to you:

The best country in the world is where you heart is. Is that simple.

You are very right about that oca! The place where you are with people like yourself is always a good place.

You know, every country I've ever visited has been beautiful, because every country is beautiful when you're a tourist. But, this is what I saw...people in different countries live lives outside, their neighbors are their best friends, and lights go out at 3 am. In America (or at least where I live), people work so hard, that by the time they get home, they can barely stay out of bed. Lights are out by 9 in some windows, by 11 in others (the latest). And if you need a cup of sugar--don't knock on the neighbors door, because you probably forgot his name...drive yourself down to the nearest supermarket and buy it in bulk )

And yes, people work hard everywhere..I know. But still, Americans are fatter and richer, but their lives are cheap and bland. Other countries may be poorer, but the quality of life is so much better...just my opinion.
