Dublin. Dublin Dublin Dublin.

I like England a fair bit, I don't mind putting up with the rain or the cold.

I'd have to say Sweden (or any other of the Scandinavian countries and Iceland), because I live there. Good economy, thinly populated (except Denmark). And most people actually know English here. Also, about the climate: in Sweden, Norway and Finland we get lots of snow in the winters, and the summers are hot, but never too hot.

Holland is mostly city, so don't come here for hinking.
we however are very lenient on drugs, most of us are open-minded, and most of us speak english quite well.
we're used to foreigners here.

Exactly. I've been to a lot of countries in Europe, but still like it best home sweet home in the Netherlands. We might not have scenery or culture, but it's a damn good place to live and has the second best beer in the world.

Depends what you want really, if you could elaborate Op on what your tastes, hopes and interests are then it would help us Europeans make more accurate guesses as to what you would like.

Germany: Best location for careers and jobs, being the strongest economy in Europe. Also, if you like beer and nice countryside then Germany is ideal.

Maybe you could explain why my Canadian company managed to hire 25 German roofers, brought them to Canada, and still employs most of them, if their home country's economy is so strong. I've been told there's roughly 30k 'Dachdecker' positions available throughout Germany, with about 50-60k worth of qualified people available to fill them. That's besides the fact that some of our older Germans have said that the wages have fallen between 5-12 euros an hour. over the last 10-15 years, for roofers.

PS: I realize I probably misspelled Dachdecker, but I'm not actually German, and don't know what the keyboard shortcuts are.

Not much house building going on? Just a thought. Or perhaps an exess of cheap foreign labour.

In all seriousness, though, probably everything except Spain in my opinion. I have NOTHING against Spain personally, but I don't like that kind of dry environ, and I've got a bit of a elitist thing with it as I like travelling to odd places, but EVERYONE in england goes to Spain, and a lot of them move there or buy holiday homes, and not ONE person bothers to learn the damn language!

I feel dirty going there, because I KNOW they hate me and my country and want me to leave.

Pero hablar espanol! Apendar en PERU para cuatro semana! Dios Mio, no me gusta Ingelsia...

Greece is pretty cool. Great food, great people, great nightlife.

Older structures still requires roofs, though, and I know that over 50% of the business my company does is re-roofing. I'd expect that in a more settled area (IE: Europe) they'd be LOTS of existing buildings requiring roof replacement. Especially considering that the population of Germany in roughly 2.5x that of Canada, and Germany physical area fits into my province (Alberta) 3x. That doesn't even account for the REST of Europe, where many of these guys had to move to on work visas, prior to being offered jobs here.

Wow, that's an incredibly -disgusting- generalization. If you want to boil alive and live around people -in general, of course- with really low cultural level, then OK, southern spain is for you. Try Catalunia, The Basque Country, or other Northern autonomies, and you will find just the opposite. In fact, try living here in Guipuzcoa, one of the provinces of the Basque Country; it's just too humid and everything -everything- is green. And culturally, San Sebastian, Bilbao, Barcelona and other cities are just as socially, culturally and economically advanced as any other important cities.

I don't know about other places in Spain, but around here no one hates British people, or not as a group. There is a general disgust towards americans, though, but that's internationally earned. And here more people speaks english than in the south; not enough, that's true, but more.

Don't wanna offend you, but I'd like to point out that your spanish is... just... bad. Try again next time.

Rule Brittania!
Brittania rules the waves!

Huzzah!

have you lived in other countries, or have you just been there?

 

[jh322]

I'd go with England, specifically Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham or London.

Those cities are awesome

You spelled that word flawlessly, rest assured.

And believe it or not, we are not unaffected by the economic crisis. Just yesterday I heard ont he radio that one of the bigger grocery store chains is going to shut down about 300 of their stores, meaning that about 2,600 folks will soon be out of a job... and news like this aren't exactly a rarity these days.

OT: Out of all the European countries I've been to, I still like mine the best. Great food and beverages, mostly nice people and lots and lots of beautiful countryside scenery.
Sweden is a close second, but I can't find myself agreeing with a lot of the food they have in the Scandinavian countries (I find them severely lacking in the meat department).
Italy is also really nice, but I can't stand the hot summers.
