I am now 83 but when I was 20 years old I went to Paris to learn better French. I was an "au pair" looking after 2 young girls, cleaning the apartment and do the grocery shopping. I was attending night school every evening to learn French. When shopping I would ask people on the street where is the bakery, butcher, etc. but because my accent was bad people would just look at me and then turn and walk away. I have never experienced this bad behaviour in any other country I have visited.

[@heatherhoward2513]

That's because you were in Paris... a city which I have visited twice and loathed both times. However, I believe that this rudeness may not be true in the rest of France.

[@EvelynBaron]

@@heatherhoward2513 I lived in Lille for 2 years, Aix en Provence for 1 and Strasbourg for 2 and frequently visit France because ... I taught French at University level. Paris is not France. You are quite right. What is true is that the French if such a generalization is possible, don't make superficial friends but once you know someone you have a friend for life. That is real. They aren't across the board rude so much as that they say exactly what they think so there is less hypocrisy. And it's also common in large groups for people to become animated and all talk at once, a habit I have myself and am mindful in anglo environments. I thought this feed was idiotic and was making lunch and laughing but pissed off but tx for your great comment.

Once you've learned the language well, that problem disappears. When I was in Paris, I spoke French all the time, everywhere I went, and I was always met with friendliness and warmth. The only rude people I saw were tourists who thought "the locals" should have learned English, just to accommodate THEM.

Squad toilets in Japan? I moved to Japan from San Francisco in 2017, and ever since then, all I see are Western-style and I rarely see squad toilets. Also, the Japanese don't work excessively anymore. According to colleagues, Japan’s labor laws are extremely strict and the penalties are harsh. Employers don't want employees to work more than 40 hours a week. I think you've got outdated info. Besides that, I found out that most Japanese are party people and it was surprising for me. Affordable living costs, great foods, cleanliness, kind personalities, and rich cultures. It was a good decision for me to move here.👍

I moved to Canada and regretted it. I have travelled and lived in countries on four continents and nowhere have I encountered a country as culturally boring as Canada. I live in the capital, ottawa. It is known as the city where fun came to die. I am moving soon because I can't stand its dullness for much longer.

[@supermash1]

Why on earth did you move to Ottawa?

[@AAC2446]

@@supermash1 It's a long story. Prior to coming to this disaster of a place, I had lived alone or with my Canadian husband in the UK, the Canary Islands, Spain, Costa Rica, Iran, and Morocco. He basically whined about not having lived in Canada for many years and persuaded me to come here for just "two years". Even though I cannot stand North America north of the Mexican border, I agreed but it turned out that he had no intention of ever leaving again. He lied. We had one baby of two years old and another on the way, and he refused to move, so I was stuck. At least I resisted his original intention to move to "California North" (Vancouver, British Columbia) where he is from. We ended up in Ottawa, which is around half way between the UK and Vancouver, and he got a government job at a time when one in five jobs in Ottawa were federal, provincial, National Capital Commission and local government jobs - hence its very boring nature. At least I have been fortunate enough to have been able to escape from Canada for three months or so every year. Every time I return I start planning my next escape. It makes life here bearable. No 'staycationing' for me. I've travelled in every province and with the exception of Newfoundland and cities in Quebec such as Montreal and Quebec City, and found that Canada is pretty much the same as far as being culturally boring is concerned, and all of the remoter places I would like to visit are inaccessible by public transport. Canada is a car culture and some provinces don't even have trains or buses, so I go to culturally interesting countries where I can travel by public transport.

We moved to France in 1996, when my husband retired, and I took an opportunity for 'voluntary redundancy'. We have never regretted it, but then, we both speak reasonable French, and live in a small village: I never want to live in a big town again! I've been there, done that, my whole life, and hubby was looking for the tranquillity of his early roots in the UK countryside. Yes, French bureaucracy is a nightmare, and if WE are struggling, I can't imagine how you would cope if your French is not good. However, we live opposite the village 'mairie', where they know us, and are always tremendously helpful, despite not speaking any English at all. And as for eating out in France being expensive, that's nonsense! It's ALWAYS been cheaper than the UK, except in big towns and 'let's rip off the tourist' places (same as everywhere else): there are still hundreds of small restaurants where you can get a 3 course meal with wine for 15 euros or less. And houses are still WAY cheaper than the UK. In fact, the only problem is that the vast majority of French people do NOT speak much English, though many of them can understand a fair bit. Americans expect everyone else to speak English; Brits hope they will; and the French resent the fact that English is now the dominant language!!!

[@user-kj6nl1wd6j]

What comes as a shock to many of us Canadians is the number of recent immigrants who have decided not to stay because Canada is not what they expected. The weather (very cold winters & increasingly hot summers) isn't the problem. Principally, the outrageous cost of housing in most popular urban centres makes home ownership unattainable and rents unaffordable. If they have educational & professional credentials, it is difficult and time-consuming to have them recognised in Canada. Even though the national health service is short of doctors, credentialed staff arriving from foreign countries are forced into scrambling for alternative employment. The cost of living is high, and the current federal government is oblivious to the problems. A note about the need for a car. The video got it wrong. Increasingly, residents in major cities no longer buy cars because public transportation is pretty good. It is in smaller or rural areas where a car becomes a necessity, or if you're trying to travel between urban centres.

Honestly, the main issue for most people moving to Canada is the cost of living - housing, utilities, food, general items. They are all much more expensive than how they are priced in the US and most of Europe. And then on top of that more than a third of your paycheck goes to taxes. So people are struggling. And its compounded by the issue that Canadians don't protest for things to get better. They just grumble about it, while corporations and government continues to do their worst.

You don’t say, doh! 3) The cost of living is high in the US, so that expats have a hard time adjusting to lower living standards than the lifestyle they were accustomed to. Really?

[@abtrdg]

Sorry but I don't think so The word mateship defines Australia the most New comers never feel isolated Majour key word fair go and living together also define aus People never suffer from racism Eng pronunciation is much more clearer than US But... sad to say things are expensive especially in Sydney

[@anitasmith4559]

It wasn't mentioned here, but Australia is always the number one country that Americans would relocate to. (But don't tell anyone.)

[@johanna5688]

​​@@abtrdg Try living in Perth. I have no friends at all here. I've been here several years & I can tell you I've never seen or experienced mateship here. You are living in la la land. You say no one is isolated here. I call your BS! The Aussie way of life is living & dying alone. Bad neighbours who build walls around them & who wouldn't dream of inviting you over. If you invite them over, they take great offence & snub you forever. There's no small talk here either when in public. If they see someone who wants small talk, they turn their faces the other way. Friendly ppl here? My arse they are. They just stay within their family, if they have one. Nobody visits anyone here as friends are impossible to make. They are inward looking & xenophobic. Thank God for the few foreigners here who do show kindness. Perth is like Australia in the 1950s. They are paranoid about outsiders and secretive too. They share nothing with anyone. Most individualistic lot. Btw, it is dead boring here too. Quite rough as well .

I moved to Canada from Poland 39 year ago - I regret that! I integrated, speak English, work, make decent living - but what a boring, expensive, cold country that is! My kids would be better off if I stayed and made life in Poland - which is beautiful, safe and life is affordable

[@johanna5688]

I live in Perth, Western Australia. A few years ago, I had a Polish neighbour. He married a woman from the Balkans. He wasn't happy here. He divorced his wife and went back to Poland. We never heard from him again. Same with his ex wife. She went back home & never heard from her either. I think that people miss their culture & their language. Even when you have many things, if it means you will live a sad & lonely life, it can't make up for the loss of anyone's cultural identity. Some people just get homesick and want to live near family, friends and a familiar environment once again. I've seen down the years, many do move back home.

[@teresavandal4973]

I live in the US; in fact I am native born... I was born in Peekskill, NY. Forgive me but I find this video INCREDIBLY flawed when talking about the US. 1) I just returned this last April from living in Poland for seven months, and one thing Poles don't understand about living in the US vs. living in Poland is that you CANNOT just generalize about specific topics and talk about ANY one topic as if it is a NATION WIDE thing.... Cost of living is different from state to state... NOT just the difference between major cities like NYC and L.A. in CA. You ABSOLUTELY NEED to specify between EACH STATE. Even our addresses are a lot different as you absolutely need to include the name of the state when writing or saying your address here; partly because we have a lot of city names that are REPEATED in multiple states... Like the name Salem, or Portland, there are EVEN TWO Las Vegases here in the US... one in Nevada and one in New Mexico... 2) I would like to know WHERE you found houses for $48k.. MAYBE $90k is possible, but I would be HARD PRESSED to find $48k... and yes again....depending on the STATE we are talking about; it IS possible for houses to go into the millions.... 3) Even health care depends on multiple factors since each state may or may not have services for people dealing with limited income.... You really need to check your facts...

[@johanna5688]

Same in SE Asia. It's all manana. I went to open a bank account and had to wait for the young woman to tidy her desk first. She moved at a snail's pace. Their retail staff is like something from a farce. Shop girls sleeping on the floor behind the counters. Other retail staff go missing when a foreigner turns up. Being followed round the store as if a wanted thief walked in. Supermarket girls doing each other's hair instead of helping customers & doing a little work. Get the picture? A lot of very stupid service there.

I guess he means an annual rent. In my neighborhood (Charlotte NC) a one bedroom apt goes for 1700 + (20,400 annual rent) and 2 bedroom is 2500 (30,000 annual rent) And just across the street from my home the new luxury townhouses were built with units leasing from 8 to 10,000 per month (96,000 -120,000 annual payment). So for a family of 4 an average annual rent for a decent apt might be close to 50,000. Home price here is around 400-450 K. Depends, you know.
