By reading posts above,I find that some friends want to live in Australia and Canada if they have a chance,it is ture that these two countries have a nice environment ,they have good social security and medicare and so on.

Australia only has twenty million people,their people are very friendly,the climate is very comfortable throughout the whole year,she is one of most democratic and free countries in the world,people there enjoy their freedom and prosperity.

Canada also has small scope of population which is about thirty million people,she has already been intergrated with the State in many aspects,but the climate is not very good,she has minus 30 Celsius during winter time,during winter time the sunset is very early,about 4 o'clock in the afternoon,sun doesn't rise until 9 o'clock in the morning;during summer time the sunset is very late at night ,about eleven o'clock at night,the sun rises at 4 o'clock in the morning.If you are ussed to equator 's climate,it is very hard for you to adapt to Canadian climate.

Well, actually it's Rio de Janeiro. . . the weather of the Southest States of Brazil are cold.

But in Rio, it's said that you only have two seasons: summer and hell!

For beautiful locales, our film-makers rush to Switzerland. ( Wink so do our corrupt politicians to put their black money in the banks).

A.C. - I laughed at your post! Excellent!

A lot of films are being made in Prague nowadays - very beautiful city.

As for the black oney, those guys had better watch out. The USA ad Switzerland just signed an agrement releasing details of lots of secret accounts.

In that case Ielts, I'm glad. I want those guys to be caught.

One thing I like abut USA is their cops. I'm told that over there when you are in trouble you call 911, and even as you are talking to them, telling them about your problem, the cops are knocking your door to help you out. I miss this kind of a service in India. Here we have too much of red tape. The police has to play second fiddle to the politicians and the guys are terribly underpaid making them less motivated to help people.

Enormous coincidence with my country. The same about Switzerland. We have a former president who saved all the money he stole in that country.

If I had to make a choice, I'd go for one of the Scandinavian countries. Finland has a really good education system and hi-tech industries. Sweden and Norway are well known for their humanitarian projects.

They all have great social welfare systems and market economies, but their citizens have to be prepared to pay through the nose for them.

With almost 200 countries in the world, I'd put the USA in the top 50.



Heck no! Sweden is not the best country...believe me (I'm a Swede living in Sweden)! It is great in many ways but it sucks in many ways also. There is NO "best country" if you ask me. There are always positive and negative things about EVERY single country.
