Beautiful indeed but too much yap yap. Too 'latino' i guess.
After arguing with a Latin American girl, a French girl or an Italian girl, all I need is to go back to the silent, quiet beauty of the Scandinavian or Eastern European girls.
My input: Finland would be the place. Too 'perfect' for me right now but in 20 years I would fancy retiring there.

Also Lappland. It's a pretty cool place.
Lapland, (also Lappland, Lappi, Sápmi, Sameland, and Saamiland) Lappia in some historical writings and maps, is the name of the cultural region traditionally inhabited by the Sami people. Today the northernmost province of Finland officially carries the name Lapland (Lappi in Finnish). Similarly, the northernmost pro ...[text shortened]... s at least some Sami ancestry, yet most identify with their respective nation-state ethnicities

Originally posted by princeoforangeActually, whilst in terms of asylum seekers it is true that we accept (marginally) more than anyone else, we are quite a big country. Be happy that you're not in Austria, which has more immigrants per person and per capita than anywhere else (UK is 10th and 12th respectively). In terms of foreigners as a % of total population we only rank 15th, behind Sweden in 11th and Luxemborg (#1). In terms of refugees, Iran, Germany and Bosnia are the places not to be (1, 2 and 3, respectively). And in terms of net migration rate, the most useful statistic, we come in at number 41. Not so many immigrants after all, is there?
Nope. I would go somewhere, perhaps Britain, perhaps somewhere else, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the honest, hard-working immigrants who come here and help our economy and do not bump the social welfare. However, as Nargaguna implied, there must be some correlation between Britain's being the worlds biggest immigrant magnet and our la ...[text shortened]... a nice climate, like a mediterrainean country. Australia seems pretty appealing too though.
Originally posted by scottishinnzIt all depends on what sort of immigrants you are talking about. Some are beneficial to any society and some not. To allow the indiscriminate mass immigration of unskilled persons from anywhere into a highly advanced society, as has happened in England, spells disaster as Enoch Powell predicted.
