If you want to work for a german company, you will need to speak german. It is hard to make friends, if you don't know absolutely nobody here. Some cities are not this friendly with foreigners, also depends where you come from. You have to proof income to live here for more than 3 months and you are not legally allowed to look for a job with travel visa. Also if you want to work in th technology field, you will need a least a Master Degree, most of the people in Tech fields have one. Renting prices in some areas are an absurd. A LOT of Burocracy! 5 5points reply View More Replies... View more comments #4 Switzerland
Pros: it’s very clean. Good laws regarding guns. Good school systems. Amazing cheese. Beautiful landscapes. A large amount of mountains to explore. Great outdoor activities. Good shopping. Nice people. Most people know English.
Cons: If you accidentally break the social rules you will be looked at funny. Some teachers aren’t the nicest. Learning German is hard. You will have to adjust to another time zone if you move to Europe.

Pros : GOOD FOOD, lots of different landscapes (mountains, beaches, countryside), a lot of towns and cities are very pretty with good architecture and gardens, SOCIAL SECURITY and all the state assistance you can get if you lose your job, get sick, get pregnant, etc. Cultural activities, there is always something to do, museums, concerts, even in the smaller towns. Historical heritage (castles, etc) is everywhere and we have a good preservation politic about it.
Cons : I know we have a bad reputation, people think the french are snobs who hate strangers and don't speak anything but french. Of course there are french a**holes, rude and everything, but not all of them! There are a lot of friendly people here! Politeness is something very important in France, there are a lot of customs to respect like ALWAYS say "bonjour" first when you interract with someone or don't ask someone how many money they make and all kind of things you'll have to learn about. Younger people tend to speak more english now but in general we are very shy about our accent and a lot of people don't dare to speak english because they are self conscious and let's be honest no very good at it. Our administration is a NIGHTMARE nobody understands it, learning french is hard and spelling is extremely complex and our trains are often late.

The neighbours make an effort to get to know you. They appreciate it if you speak French, no matter how basic. They will invite you to their homes and make you welcome. If you ask directions, they won't just tell you they will walk you there and make sure you are ok. Paris is obviously going to be different but if anyone judges a country on one city then they don't deserve to see the rest of it. 4 4points reply View More Replies... View more comments #6 Czechia.

Report Final score: 11points Stanislav Šebek POST Skull in Sky Skull in Sky Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago Czechs were called "The laughing beasts" by Heydrich. The reason being that even in the harshest of regimes, Czechs were making jokes and fun of everything. That's both a pro and a con. As a native english speaker (I assume) you'd have some trouble in many places but it wouldn't be terrible to bear since our country was a huge international hub before the 1st world war and we are somewhat returning to that nowadays. There's a big difference between countryside and cities (as with many eastern europe countries) and I wouldn't suggest anyone not knowing the country move there without spending some time there without committing first. Out of the post soviet countries, the Czech republic has actually had the best economy so it's become one of the more developed countries from the bunch. 1 1point reply View more comments #7 The Netherlands.
Pros: We all speak English as we are used to having lots of interaction with foreigners who do not speak Dutch. TV etc all in original languages with subtitles. Our country is green and has lots of historical places. Good public transport and any type of food you can think of is available at reasonable prices. Freedom of speech and press and a general dislike of politics. Sexual freedom, you can do and be pretty much anything you feel like.
Cons: Very overpopulated which makes it near impossible to find an affordable place to live and causes lots of traffic jams. Traditional Dutch food is not very good (that's why we have so many internatinal restaurants). Dutch people tend to be rude and have no sense of fashion or decorum. Also we have too many rules and regulations. Living here is complicated even when you are Dutch. Report Final score: 10points Diolla POST Rens Rens Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 year ago I lived there for 12 years, my daughter was born there too. Big con: Because we spoke English in our family, people thought we couldn't speak or understand Dutch (we could and did) so there were many times we were called a certain xenophobic name. Once I lost my temper and said that if it hadn't been for us foreigners, they would all be speaking German. I hate offending anyone but being gossiped about and criticised for being foreigners winds me up. Especially because we were working and contributing to the country. 6 6points reply View More Replies...

Pros: Beautiful and diverse landscapes ( we have many climates and beach/mountain). Wonderful gastronomy (imo best with italian in europe). A lot of "street ambient", it is really spanish to go out a lot even if its for a coffee or a sandwich so cities are always full of life. People is very friendly is you speak spanish.
Cons: Barely jobs and very low salaries. Very high prices compared with europe of you take into acount salaries (except to go out thats super cheap). It will be difficult to live if you dont know already spanish since most old people dont speak english and a lot of young people is too shy to speak it.

Comparatively short working hours (37,5 h/week) with no expectations to do overtime, we value our work-life balance! Nice restaurants and cultural events in the cities. Helsinki area especially is very international. Summers are amazing with lots of daylight and perfect temperature. People are very friendly if you approach them and especially once you get to know them, which takes me to the
Cons: Small talk with strangers is not normal here, which can be a shock to some foreigners. The language is difficult to learn, and if you don’t speak Finnish jobs are limited to certain fields (tech and restaurants at least) or international corporations.

Pros: Lots of sun, we are really immigrant friendly. Easy to find a job as a foreigner. We are a small country compared to US, so every destination is at most 8 hours away.

I could say a lot about governmental healthcare, no guns, amazing safety net, wonderfull people, changing seasons, and life in the big cities and in the country.

Pro: good food, a lot historical places to visit, we have the Alps, the Sea and the countriside; the country is quite small, in max 12 hrs drive/2hrs flight you get to goeverywhere. 50% of people here are the nicest, most welcoming people on earth. You'll be invited in everybodys home for dinner in no time. If you land a job we have medical leave, maternity leave, international helthcare bonuses (the things that are not already free per se are discounted so to speak), 4 weeks payed vacation time per year
Con: 50% of people are delusional assholes, burocracy is like a game: there are no rules, a lot of paperwork and no one seems to know how to help you even if it's literally their job to do so, outside the big cities if you don't own a car you're f****d; getting a job is really really hard (but not impossible)

Pros: Safety, social benefits, healthcare, education. From sea to mountains you can find everything. Generally speaking it's not hard to find a job here.Relatively cheap if you look at the neighboring countries. If you want a balanced life, you can find it here.
Cons: If you are not from EU, bureaucracy may give you some hard moments. People are not the US-style kind, small-talk is not something usual. They are not rude, but everybody is minding their own business. You have to know at some level german, maybe in IT english will be enough.

Because if yes, then:
- we have all kinds of weather (and not only winter ones, you know). Like it hot? Welcome to our almost subtropical Krasnodar. Fan of winter? Might like Yakutsk, the largest city built on continuous permafrost, with an average winter temperature of below −20 °C (−4 °F),
- the nature is seriously breathtaking. Like, don't even get me started on this, I'll only stop when I die from hunger ('cause Mom says talking when chewing is bad manners),
- we are nice people. No, we don't always smile (especially to strangers, and that's what gets us bad rep sometimes). But when we do, we really mean it. You know, coconut culture, hard and unwelcoming on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside, that's us,
- free healthcare, free education. Oh, and if you prefer commercial hospitals and schools, we have them too.
As for the cons, of course, there's a couple, like:
- our general fondness of patriarchy. Younger generations' views are certainly more modern, but unfortunately, we as a nation are, to say the least, not very big on LGBTQIA rights, and a lot of people still don't think it's rude to ask a young woman about her plans for marriage and children,
- roads.

Pros: Beautiful green landscapes and plenty of hiking/biking routes. Progressive country when it comes to sexism, homophobia, laicism etc. Salaries are much higher than in southern countries (like spain) and the prices are higher but proportionally arent that different. Both Valonia amd Flanders are extremely beautiful for the nature and have extremely beautiful and nice cities and nature.
Cons: In Flanders a lot of people is very xenophobic, you will hear a lot of people angry with you for not speaking perfect flemish (even if you are speaking flemish with them). Some even will refuse service. As a migrant there is a very limited ammount of jobs that you can do because of my first point. Unless you work in very big cities chances are that they ask you native flemish for everything (even to do research in english...). Migrants can only stay 3 months there if they dont have a job or a spouse that works. In 3m you cannot learn a language and find a job so it sucks. If you dont have a job you wont have health insurance and makes things super complicated.

Pros: great food (obviously), culture (every city, even the small ones, has something ancient and historically relevant to visit); social services (healthcare, schools, ect) are quite alright, although there's definitely room for improvement; beautiful landscapes everywhere and variegated too (mountains, season, lakes, etc)
Cons: difficult to find jobs, politics is insane, you'll be either treated with open arms if you come from the "right" countries (basically other EU countries, the US and Australia) and/or you're rich and treated like trash if you come from Asia or Africa) especially if you're poor.

Pros : GOOD FOOD, lots of different landscapes (mountains, beaches, countryside), a lot of towns and cities are very pretty with good architecture and gardens, SOCIAL SECURITY and all the state assistance you can get if you lose your job, get sick, get pregnant, etc. Cultural activities, there is always something to do, museums, concerts, even in the smaller towns. Historical heritage (castles, etc) is everywhere and we have a good preservation politic about it.
Cons : I know we have a bad reputation, people think the french are snobs who hate strangers and don't speak anything but french. Of course there are french a**holes, rude and everything, but not all of them! There are a lot of friendly people here! Politeness is something very important in France, there are a lot of customs to respect like ALWAYS say "bonjour" first when you interract with someone or don't ask someone how many money they make and all kind of things you'll have to learn about. Younger people tend to speak more english now but in general we are very shy about our accent and a lot of people don't dare to speak english because they are self conscious and let's be honest no very good at it.

The reason being that even in the harshest of regimes, Czechs were making jokes and fun of everything. That's both a pro and a con. As a native english speaker (I assume) you'd have some trouble in many places but it wouldn't be terrible to bear since our country was a huge international hub before the 1st world war and we are somewhat returning to that nowadays. There's a big difference between countryside and cities (as with many eastern europe countries) and I wouldn't suggest anyone not knowing the country move there without spending some time there without committing first.

Pros: We all speak English as we are used to having lots of interaction with foreigners who do not speak Dutch. TV etc all in original languages with subtitles. Our country is green and has lots of historical places. Good public transport and any type of food you can think of is available at reasonable prices. Freedom of speech and press and a general dislike of politics. Sexual freedom, you can do and be pretty much anything you feel like.
Cons: Very overpopulated which makes it near impossible to find an affordable place to live and causes lots of traffic jams. Traditional Dutch food is not very good (that's why we have so many internatinal restaurants). Dutch people tend to be rude and have no sense of fashion or decorum. Also we have too many rules and regulations. Living here is complicated even when you are Dutch.

You'll be invited in everybodys home for dinner in no time. If you land a job we have medical leave, maternity leave, international helthcare bonuses (the things that are not already free per se are discounted so to speak), 4 weeks payed vacation time per year
Con: 50% of people are delusional assholes, burocracy is like a game: there are no rules, a lot of paperwork and no one seems to know how to help you even if it's literally their job to do so, outside the big cities if you don't own a car you're f****d; getting a job is really really hard (but not impossible)

Because if yes, then:
- we have all kinds of weather (and not only winter ones, you know). Like it hot? Welcome to our almost subtropical Krasnodar. Fan of winter? Might like Yakutsk, the largest city built on continuous permafrost, with an average winter temperature of below −20 °C (−4 °F),
- the nature is seriously breathtaking. Like, don't even get me started on this, I'll only stop when I die from hunger ('cause Mom says talking when chewing is bad manners),
- we are nice people. No, we don't always smile (especially to strangers, and that's what gets us bad rep sometimes). But when we do, we really mean it. You know, coconut culture, hard and unwelcoming on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside, that's us,
- free healthcare, free education. Oh, and if you prefer commercial hospitals and schools, we have them too.
As for the cons, of course, there's a couple, like:
- our general fondness of patriarchy. Younger generations' views are certainly more modern, but unfortunately, we as a nation are, to say the least, not very big on LGBTQIA rights, and a lot of people still don't think it's rude to ask a young woman about her plans for marriage and children,

Pros: Beautiful green landscapes and plenty of hiking/biking routes. Progressive country when it comes to sexism, homophobia, laicism etc. Salaries are much higher than in southern countries (like spain) and the prices are higher but proportionally arent that different. Both Valonia amd Flanders are extremely beautiful for the nature and have extremely beautiful and nice cities and nature.
Cons: In Flanders a lot of people is very xenophobic, you will hear a lot of people angry with you for not speaking perfect flemish (even if you are speaking flemish with them). Some even will refuse service. As a migrant there is a very limited ammount of jobs that you can do because of my first point. Unless you work in very big cities chances are that they ask you native flemish for everything (even to do research in english...). Migrants can only stay 3 months there if they dont have a job or a spouse that works. In 3m you cannot learn a language and find a job so it sucks.
