If you guys had the chance to move to Europe, lets say, Copenhagen, would you do it?

And if you live in Europe, would you like to live in the US?

'Europe' is a union of 27 countries and not a single country per se... you can't 'move' to europe. you would have to pick a country.

quite frankly the US and what i think you mean with 'europe' can't be compared. if you are in europe and you cross the border to another country within the european union you find yourself in a completeley different cultural and linguistic environment. basically the EU now is simply a group of countries that share their economic powers to compete in the world. it's kind of sad how it turned out but the original idea of europe was more than that.

i live in switzerland at the moment and well sometime in the future i would like to live in the US, or maybe someplace else but i really don't know right now. but i know one thing for sure. every time i drive home to germany i just know why i love 'home'. there is no place on earth that could replace it. it's just the kind of place that i feel very attached to.

Yeah, I like that, move to Europe, cause it's all the same, spookily the different countries even have different languages. Wowee.

Europe is a continent and well as a political idea, there are countries in Europe which are not part of the union. Like Switzerland for example.

Anyway, I'm thinking about moving to New Yeerk, I've met a wonderful lady there.

I completely agree with different cultures between each country, hell, its even different "culture" living on one side of the US compared to living on the other side (california to living in New York or Texas to Michigan). But if you are from Europe, It doesn't matter what country, and wanted to live in the US would you do it? And vice versa for everyone here who lives in the US ( You can pick any country to live in Europe).

Shoot it doesn't even have to be that. Growing up in Northern California then moving down to Southern California, it is a completely different experience already. And it is still in the same state just separated by 300 miles.

But yeah, if I had a job lined up, I would love to live somewhere in Europe for a while. As my understanding of it, most places speak English anyways, so it shouldn't be that hard to communicate. And since I am in Finance, and London now is the financial capital of the world, I would definitely do London.

Goodluck.

I would move to Europe in a heart beat. Depends on if you are working or retired; if working, are you employed / running your business from a relevant location?
Saying "i'm moving to Europe" is quite general - but I like the idea!!

Can you be more specific with which countries specifically are on your short list?

Ah, Europe! How much do you guys like paying taxes? Do you like socialism?

Apac102 · 07-20-2008, 12:00 PM

yeah I would be working in Copenhagen with a job lined up. As for socialism, I hope RC isn't around but, it does make sense. People don't do their job for the money here, they do it because they like to do it. And its a law that everyone works only 37 hrs a week, you can't say that this person works harder then that person so they should be paid more and that they shouldn't be taking so much money from them. The government supports everyone. And when everyone is supported, everyone is happy. And when everyone is happy, it makes it a great place to live.

Personally, as a person who doesn't want to start making money right away and just mainly doing things for an experience, socialism is the way to go.

But once a family comes along in my life, I would rather live in a Capitalist place.

Hell, they must be doing something right since Copenhagen is ranked the most liveable place in the world by a international magazine and Denmark just got ranked the world's happiest nation by a University of MIchigan study
