In such a globalized world like the one we live in the present, and where the internet makes us know more intimately other social and political realities, this is a very popular topic. How do you feel about your home country?
I left mine to live permanently in another country.
The less Americanized a place is.... the more interesting it is for me.
So to me I have no desire to even go to the UK, Germany, Netherlands (They try hard to be like America)
Southern Europe is ok
Eastern Europe is very cool
Central Asia must be fantastic
The middle east (I am not attracted by those places)
Canada, Australia, sorry but I don't find it interesting.
South America, it is cool. I wouldn't mind living on a big metropolis like Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro or in some indigenous town on the Andes in the middle of Bolivia raising alpacas)
Oceania, yes I wouldn't mind living in a beautiful island like Fiji for a year or two.
many dutch aspire to live in big suburbias surrounded by trees and then shop and shop and shop
flemish are like this too
maybe its a cultural thing
What makes you think this is an 'American thing' in particular? How do you expect 21st Century Dutch people to live? In windmills wearing clogs?
