Canada. Best country in the world eh?

And no, it's actually really warm here. We have electricity, what did you think I was typing this on? My oil powered MacBook. Nope.

Tell us where you're from and tell us something neat about your country!

I am from Australia.

Something about my country hey? ok.

The words Bluey, mulliduka (I think that's spelled right) ocker were invented here.

A 2nd fact. I've read somewhere we have the 3rd biggest problem with unwanted illegeal people trying to squat in our country per population size. 1 and 2 are the UK and Italy. USA was 4th I think.

And they say Australia and Canada are almost copies of each other. Not in anything physical. But in how the country is run and the feel of actually being there and living there. And that NZ and England are pretty close too. All pretty obviously Since we are all ex old world (read English) countries.

And yes I like living here. A little too much actually.

I'm from Singapore.

A really small country just below Malaysia, part of South East Asia, and no, we are not part of China. Formerly a colony of the British Empire but has gained full independence since 1965, so we're really young.

In fact, we're so small that we span only around 700 km2.

I'm from the UK, but have been living in the US for 3 years.

In some ways I'm not your average Brit... I don't complain about the NHS, I actually appreciate the mild weather, love the BBC and I can speak 3 languages.

Having said that, I love football (soccer) and real beer (and the US has some nice surprises there).
