Why Germany?

Germany is a great place. You will learn different things and new culture. Good advice.
I suffer from wanderlust, but its not for another country really, (except for Jamaica), just for another state. I decided when I was leaving the army that I was not going to stay there in Texas. So I packed up my things, shipped out some and drove for 18 hours to a state (FL), that I have never been to only heard of.
It is working great for me.

I visited there when I was a kid. Fell in love with the place. Germany is my football side for World Cup.

No its not obvious at least not to me. You couldn't be refering to their so called neutrality or are you? Why Switzerland?

malaysia is one of the most technology advanced countries in the world. sweden because my dear mother went there and she believes i'll absolutely love the country. switz, not sure why honestly just always wanted to go there. australia is known for their beaches, coral reefs and swimming and i'm very big with swimming and water sports.

malaysia is one of the most technology advanced countries in the world.yes, Malaysia is very nice. I've visited there and while it's nice I don't think I would choose there as my first choice. Singapore, now there's a first choice. They're even more advanced than Malaysia and have a lot going for them. I've also visited Singapore and would probably choose there. Germany would also be in the runnings as well. I've only passed through (the airport ;)) and have never spent time there (well ... nearly, due to some visa issue - another story) but from what I've heard from my Aunt who lives there it's a nice place. Also, their broadband rates are very cheap :p

Singapore??? No star, that country too strict. I wil never forget the guy that got caught marking up some cars and his punishment was 6 slaps from a cane or summen of the sort. Shoukd be a welcome change when compared to Jamaica but I probably would get a few of those slaps.
I would love to go to France, the women in france are short of straight guys and it has a romantic climate.

Comment allez-vous? - How are you?
Salut - Hi
Tres bien - Very well
Merci - Thanks
Repetez s'il vous plait - Repeat please
Merci beaucoup - Thanks much
Je vous remercie - Thank you

Actually its more than just the rolling of the tongue. A very important thing to remember is that the French language is soft so they dont pronouce the endings of some words. For example some letters falling at the end of a word(T, N, R,S) are not pronounced. Final consonants are not pronounce. H is never pronouce (shouldnt be too hard for us Jamaicans):) J sounds like S, etc.

If you go to live in Florida, don't live in one of those board house thingees. Hurricanes seem to be zeroing in on the southern US these days and those board houses won't hold up.
It always amazes me though, that people can actually live in those ice-box climates up north like in Canada. Oonu nuh easy at all. I think it's a crime to have a West Indian living in negative whatever degree weather.
Brrrrr.....

...umm... can we recontinue our discussion about how GREAT Japan is? If I had the opportunity, I'd love to visit Japan. I love (almost) everything about the country, including:
- The Economy
- The Job Market
- The Culture
- The Cars
- The Language
- The Technology (can't get enuff a dis)
- The Culture
- The Women :eusa_droo
- The Animé
- Did I mention the culture?
If I ever move to Japan, I can easily see myself getting lost in Tokyo city which seems to be dripping in awesome coolness. It was almost like the first time I walked into a Circuit City in New York - just several million square miles bigger. There are times I genuinely believe I was born in the wrong country...

Well it may not be greener but it doesn't hurt to expand your horizons by experiencing different things.
Why do YAAD people always want to come back? I think most Caribbean people are like that. They want to go where they have to, for education and dollars but their HEART is and will always be in the West Indies. :cool:

Mitchie,
That is ridiculous!!! French women are not short of straight men at all...except if we don't have the same definition for straight. :)
BCK,
You probably did not see the French Caribbean women nor the Polynesian ones.;)
Anyway, back to the topic. I would love to go to Cuba (history, culture), Brazil (futbol thing and culture), New Zealand (culture, rugby and ecology), Spain, Portugal, England, India, Greece, Polynesia and of course the neighbourings islands of my island.
