Answer 1

One year ago I moved from New York to Sweden,Stockholm,it took me a while to get used to it,the worst thing is that it's dark most of the time(in winter),it gets dark at 3 pm!!!U start feeling depressed after a while,summer is perfect though,it gets dark just for couple of hours,but it's not the most important thing since within a couple of hours u can be at any other country .All people speak english including kids,so u wouldnt have any language problems(not like in France,the french they just refuse to speak english,and definetely try to be smartasses when they make sure u don't understand french,though it's a great country(some parts of it,south).The taxes in Sweden r pretty high,25%,but medicine is free and on a good level,education also.

Answer 2

Anywhere in Europe will do, if you can...

Answer 3

I'd say come anywhere in Europe, but you will be in for a shock weather wise...

At least across here the travel opportunities are limitless, well, nearly...

I live in London, a city steeped in culture with loads to see. If I get bored of London, within 2 hours (by plane, ignoring the check in process etc.) I can be in any on of about 20 different countries, or a 3-4 hour train ride could see me in a few different countries.

The difference in cultures/cuisine/drinks/architecture/mus... - you name it, is vast. It is definitely an experience. I came from Sydney 21 years ago to the UK and haven't regretted it. I do miss the weather though and the beach on my doorstep... And everything seems to be a lot more expensive in the UK. Having been through Scandinavia on a number of occasions, generally passing through - eating/drinking/hotels seem to be a bit more expensive than the UK, but then you go into Eastern Europe, and the prices are terrific.
