Which Country Do You Prefer to Live in?

Even though I'm not a Cypriot I would like to throw in my 2 cents worth on this thread.

I will probably remain in the US for another 4 to 5 years then move back to Turkey. Most of my extended family lives there and it would be nice to solidify those relationships again. The US is a nice place and it really offers alot to those willing to bust their ass and make something of themselves but at the end of the day it's still a rat race. Rude people, defiant kids and general bullsh*t. If I pulled some the crap kids here in America pull nowadays, my mother would have thrown her boomerang slipper at me.

I'll take the old country over this anyday. The ocean, the mountains family and dear friends.

I've only ever been to London about three times (and that's to go to Heathrow Airport) but the place freaks me out. I've heard so many stories about how rat-infested, polluted, horrible, violent, noisy, and general sh*te the place is! Living there would be like hell from what I'd imagine, but then again I've not really been there so I can't say that. Cities in England in the next 10 years will be so awful I think. I hope that Cyprus never becomes like this.

Giorgio, you can't say that London is the best place in the world because you haven't been everywhere in the world.

In fact, it's very, very rare ( from my experience that is) to find a Greek-Cypriot that has moved to the UK from the patrida to say that they want to stay here. They all want to go back, but whether they actually do or will is another matter.

Cypriots, it came out in a survey the other day, use the courts three times more than their European counterparts. I listened to an analyst who claimed that this behaviour shows that Cypriots exhibit jealousy, envy and malice against their fellow human beings all too often. I think Cyprus is ok, despite the Cypriots, but I'd much rather live in England.

Interesting. Does this apply to the southor or the entire Island Bananiot?

[Bananiot]

Not sure, because I heard bits and pieces on the radio, but probably it concerns just the south because it was a survey conducted only in EU countries.

It also shows how easily accessible is the court system for all the citizens, irrespective of wealth. In some countries, poor people cannot pass even outside the courts, set aside to seek their help and /or use their services.

London aint all that bad people....there si alot of diversity and nice places....you just have to overlook the limited bad stuff.

Cypriots using the courts? is that to actually use them or just to visit their koumbaro who happens to be a judge?

Both countries have their qualities, and I really like English weather, which is something very strange to some of my family. The weather here is mild and nice (and I love the rain if I'm inside ), and I would hate it to be a warm/hot country, yet I love the Cypriot weather. I would hate Cyprus to be like it is here, and I love it for being so hot. If I lived there, I would like to go up a mountain for a break in winter, and see the snow. Surprisingly enough there are still tourists that go on skiing trips.

It's weird really, because when I'm in England, I like it (except for when it nears Kypro time) and when I'm in Cyprus I don't wanna come home! Don't know if any of you feel like that but I do .
