Which country have you enjoyed visiting the most, and where would you choose to live if given the chance?

[psyoptica]

Btw their is one thing i do want to say, My mother has spoken to me a bunch of times and has told me that when you have a child, Make sure he/she is born in USA and give them dual citizenship because US universities are massively > Aussie universities and job market is better their which i agree with.

I would want my child to live their 0-18 live in aus so that they can have a stress free life and a very high quality of life which aus is second to none in, but probably work in us.

The good thing is, Visa free travel van aussie passport means we don't have to worry much about immigration officers causing problems.

Australia is extremely good if you wish to go into tech. This country is obsessed with tech and hence the rise of atlassin, Canva, Affinity, Leonardo AI, Glitch and many more which have become global powerhouses.

Currently theirs an Ai revolution in Australia and startups are ai focused, but besides ai, tech and programming, It's education and job market is lacking behind.

Construction industry in Australia is decades behind other countries, entertainment sector isn't high either, medical fields are avg, Australian doctors and aussie medical education isn't that great, engineering is up and down, software engineers are at a sky high in aus but mechanical or aviation engineers are at a low. Business, advertising, marketing and entrepreneur industry is up and down as well

Australia is good for culinary and Tech(software and ai) but behind others.

So I do agree with you, that since I have family and friends living in USA, I will allow dual citizenship for my children.

But I'd still want that they live with me till their 18. Even if I was a dual citizen, I'd still want them to spend time with me till their 18 in Australia.

Lol don't think too far ahead. Who knows what the world will be like in 20 years. Australia is a 1st world country and has many industries that are emerging or developing. You and your family should be good there to spend the rest of your lives. University degree doesn't really matter much unless you're going to an ivy league college plus it's expensive. Student debt is another reality most people have to deal with here although it gets paid off quickly once you find a stable job.

Don't listen to other people as to what is right for your kids. Let them make their decisions once they are adults. Maybe they'll wanna play cricket for Australia or find an interest that is better served in Australia. Come to US if only makes sense for you to be here not because your mother told you to.

Dual citizenship. Both options lol. And I'm.not the one coming to the US lol.

After my personal experience, I refuse to. But it's good to provide them both options.

As dual citizens they have the option to explore 2 parts of the world. So theirs no harm.

But when it pertains to me, I can't obviously. Future generations can though

Horrible Horrible country.

No one speaks English over their, so we had to use translators. But it's so god damn irritating that no one speaks English their.

Secondly the food over their has to be the worst food to ever exist. They don't marinate their chicken. Actually they don't even cook anything .

In terms of tourists, it's easy for men, but difficult for women. It doesn't matter if your American, Indian, Korean, they don't bloody care,

Every women just wear all black with their heads, arms and legs covered and even their faces covered, only their eyes must be visible.

And again it doesn't matter if you're not Muslim, you can be American and they'll force you to wear it as long as you're a girl.

Then in terms of sight seeing, theirs absolutely nothing over their besides shrines. The only good thing about Iraq ans why most people visit is Babylon + koofa.

Babylon is one of the oldest civilization in the world and to Iraq's credit, they've maintained it very well, and Koofa is the birth place of Adam and Eve, or rather then birthplace, more so its the first place they landed when they were thrown out of the garden of Eve, or in Muslim terms, thrown out of Jannat.

and it's these 2 interactions why people visit and that's it.

Women and men are also monitored heavily, like I can't even take a picture qith my mom or my baby cousin, since for some reason they view it as a romantic interaction, to take a picture they must be standing a bit away from me, God forbid I wrap my arm around them.

Then when it accessories, Absolutely nothing is allowed. If they catch women with makeup or jewellery on, they'll be hell to pay, I also consiatelty wear neck chains and bracelets on my right wrist and a watch on my left wrist.

They told me to take it off, even when I tried to wear it in a safe zone, some local would always come and cause a massive rukus and threaten it their own language lol.

Then ofcourse Internet access is strictly monitored over their, just try, I repeat try to use a vpn, I dare you .

The funniest part of the whole trip, is that they have one good mall, I decided to visit it to watch a mcu movie( Captain Marvel) at the time and the movie was in their Arabic with no subtitles .

Wow this is shocking to read. Then again at the second thought, not surprising though.

Our Dare Hues and Kanneda wales who find intolerance & muslim bias in India must go and live there.

I do not find living in USA appealing. Too many mass shootings there and too much drama.

Canada and Australia are much better I feel.

But, USA has one perk and that is high salary. I think they have the best salaries among western countries.

Basically it's the equivalent of living in a Muslim North Korea

Australia has high salary too but not as high as USA.

Aus salary is 38% higher then UK and Canada but USA more then 70% higher then UK and Canada.

I think Australia has too many dangerous animals. LOL. That's one downside.

Canada also has one downside and that is the cold weather. Winter can be quite harsh here. Winter temperature can go lower than -30 Degrees Celsius (lowest I experienced was -31C).

Brother this made me laugh, it's not the first time I've heard this though, many people claim this.

But rest assured I have never seen a snake in my life, or a spider crawl into my room, bite me and next thing you know I'm spiderman.

Chill, no animal is invading your house nor is any jellyfish biting you at the beach.

The biggest downside of Australia is that travel wise it sucks. If you're a tourist then once you've visited a single city, you've visited all of em.

Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney are no different from one another except for weather, and adelaide, Perth, hobart are just mini versions of Sydney.

As for Canberra, or other regional areas like Newcastle, wollongong, geelong, Devonport? Don't even bother going their.

It's a starc contrast from UK where Bath is completly different from Bristol, Brighton, London etc. And each city has their own vibe to it. Same with USA where the vibe of Vegas is completly different from the vibe of La which in turn is comletly different from the vibe of Washington. Similarly New York is totally different, Phoenix is totally different etc.

No clue about the rest but I've only been to these 5 cities in USA.

So Australia is literally a case of seen it once, have seen it all.

Australia has no culture and no history. Their only history other then captain cook is that british sent aussie here to die yet aussie created a country more OP then them and that during ww2, Australia decided to send some troops to help allies forces but even then they sent only a handful and their own land was unaffected.

Australia is basically the one land that everyone loves and is essentially similar to UAE in that every foreign country likes to open up shop here due to friendly tax laws, and every country wants to protect this land due to natural resources from minerals, water, Animals(food) etc etc.
