How would you rate the place you were born or live

[Sabth]

I really didn't like it. You know my world are better. I sleep and then I had a strange dream. Maybe I should

That’s true. Well because you always talk down on western and European countries. So i thought you can tell us how amazing your country and culture is.

My culture has the best family structures on the planet. Beyond blessed. It's like being born into a royal dynasty just without the money (my family lost their money). Takes a lot of work to organize it but once you do it your set for generations. I was born into it so I never had to worry about that it's just maintenance now. I am working on reintegrating wealth into the already existing structure which should be easy since the organization is already there. If you are Western then you have no clue. But maybe in India or Asian countries they have bits and pieces of this knowledge or Western communities like Amish or Mormon may have some of it. It's not worth mentioning anything else because everything else my culture is either equal to or inferior to in other areas. Combining the best aspects of each culture and removing the worst and using that to create a new country would be the best haha

I was watching something about the Amish family structure a few days ago. Pretty interesting. I remember eating their food in America and it was so fresh and good

I was born in Russia - 4/10 great culture and history but shit values, corruption and poverty.

Our family home is in Spain I've lived in Spain about 7 years total - 6/10. Great food, cheap prices but much inequality in the society and very tough for young people who want to find work.

I lived in Mozambique 6 years - 1/10 

As a foreigner we were protected from the realities of the country, but yeah your typical poverty striken, corrupt, violent hell hole that is the story of most African countries.

I now live in New Zealand - 9/10

NZ is a paradise. Like Australia it's neighbour, high wages and standard of living, low corruption, incredible nature and clean air, open-minded people. I live in the North Island were the weather is incredible all year round. Downsides are the ozone hole so always wear sunscreen and holidaying around the country can be very expensive.

In summer it’s more lazy

Yes, the summer heat makes my body feel tired and lazy. I remember when I was in Japan during winter, the cold rejuvenated my body. When I lifted weights, I naturally added one more set, making me more productive. Damn, I miss winter.

Japanese girls are too conservative to do this during summer. if they were as liberal as Western girls, perhaps I would consider summer as my favorite season.

@PurpleTree I’m going to say I’m a 8.5.

Born in a wealthier part of London, Uk to middle class parents who reliably met my basic survival needs. Ended up with pretty severe mental health problems though. So some flaws in the spawn. But when I compare my spawn to someone born into some third world  internment camp it’s hard to complain.

Could be 9/9.5 but you have to leave room for absolutely goated spawn locations.

Yea i was talking about Europe. We also have the four seasons 🍁 and i agree colder weather feels rejuvenating.

I also lived in Denmark but didn't really bother rating it but it's a great place. Yeah, there is lowkey racism (mostly financial and educational) in NZ of the whites in the country over the Local Maori population. A bit like in Africa most of the wealth is held not by the local people but by foreigners. NZ has a brutal history and being such a new nation many of these conflicts are still not resolved and the nation is navigating the hurt as best it can.

Yea it’s wild. What’s also wild just yesterday i read that Maori arrived in New Zealand not that much earlier than the Euros. Maori around 1250-1300 . Dutch in 1642. Brits around 1790. Still a few centuries earlier but not much compared to the aboriginals of Australia who lived there forever.

I thought you said there’s too much immigration and stuff?

I was thinking about my small region.
Then it depends on the city; I'd give a city like Strasbourg an 8/10, a city like Perpignan a 3/10.
I also like Bordeaux or smaller cities like mine (Sarlat-la-Canéda), Sète, Cannet-en-Roussillon...
I mentioned it in some detail somewhere in my journal.

And how do you rate the country. France la grande nation. L’Hexagon. Liberté, égalité, fraternité. Les bleus.

7/10

I can't give more because of purchasing power, insecurity, deterioration of public services, administration, lack of jobs, etc.

But it remains the best country for food, environmental diversity, architecture, culture, women, and social security. 😎

I like France but it does have some huge issues. But i’m thinking if I could live in Lyon for a while. Rome would be nice too. Don’t know how yet but maybe I’ll figure it out.

[Schizophonia]

I also liked London and Berlin.
I also know Stockholm well now; it's not a very impressive city, but it's still very nice.

My favourite city in Europe (or the world) would probably be Barcelona. But tourists and overtourism is making it hardly bearable. Amsterdam is also nice. But Rome is also just very nice imo in terms of culture, food, architecture and unbeatable in terms of history. Berlin is nice in summer but the people are probably pretentious and winter is horrible.

I went once in Barcelona but it was short.

I’ve been there probably like 9 times. Great food, sea/beach access, amazing architecture Gaudi etc, good public transport, hills, it’s big and so on.

Cons: annoying mass tourism, prices skyrocketing and so on.
