Have you ever
lived in a foreign country and if so, what did you like best about it?yes. i lived in
germany for 4 years. i LOVED it. it really opened my eyes to the rest of the world. living
in the US, you tend to disassociate yourself from the rest of the world. plus, it was a
much more relaxed lifestyle.the US is full of greed, hate, anger, crime, road rage,
selfishness, intolerance, etc, etc.

I lived in London for a semester
when I was in college. It's hard to say what I liked best about it. I really had a blast
and fell in love with the city! I loved everything! Well, except for the food. English
food sucks in my opinion. Steak and kidney pies are gross! But there are fabulous Indian restaurants there. I ate Indian food all the time, even on Easter
Sunday! I really liked how close I was to so many other countries. I suppose traveling was my favorite thing! Oh, and the adorable accents!

I lived in Kenya for 6 months during a
semester abroad. I went to every corner of the country and the best thing it did was give
me a better perpective on living in the U.S. No matter how bad things are here at time, at
least our professors can speak their minds in classrooms without fear of being arrested.
Most (if any( Americans do not have to walk miles for water. Then again, it would be nice
if every day at 4 we all took a break and had some chai with bread and jam.

I've never lived in a foreign
country but a few years ago I stayed with some relatives in Cape Town, South Africa for a
while. The things I liked most were the climate and the
friendly atmosphere everywhere I went. And there really wasn't as much racism as the media
claims.

I lived in England for a time. What
I like about England is that most things are basically familiar, but there are just enough
differences to make you conscious of your day-to-day activities.

country I have ever been in is Canada, and then only for about a week. ..

My husband was in the Army and we
were transferred to Germany, where we lived for awhile
"on the economy" (that means we lived with the German people, spoke German, and
made our purchases at German stores rather than American). This was a wonderful experience
and I enjoyed every part of it but I guess if I had to name the thing I liked the best
about this wonderful country, it would be that it is so clean - the German people wouldn't
THINK of throwing a candy wrapper on the ground.

I spent three years living in England, but
my experience of living in a foreign country was filtered by the necessity of dealing with
two young children. I reveled in the inevitable way that history casually impinged on
daily life.
Jill, 59

No I have not, but hopefully when I
get my degree my son and I can relocate to London... screw America.

I was in Caracas for a week. The people were
rioting because they couldn't sell to the tourists without getting a new paper and paying
a huge tax, but we didn't know that because they were fighting in spanish. They started
revoulting against the police and guns were shot. They frightened us, and the police made
all americans refuge into the American Embassy and locked us in there for many hours!
Other than that I love Caracas. I own the seal of the city "Leon De Caracas" and
it's my favorite statue.
