Have you ever been to an English speaking Country?

@azerate
Well, maybe some day I´ll check it out. But like I said before, now I´m mostly in the Gulf region.

@onuba: good luck down there :)

@azerate
Thanks! I have to stay here probably until March 2014.

Next stop 2014, London. Any advice? Hints?

never been to an english speaking country. but who knows...one time... but i am kind of unimpressed about the anglo world but maybe i am wrong...

@Banana_Joe
Watch out for the foxes! Ive heard that there is a fox profusion in London, but dont ask me why...

@Bassmonster

Yep, I have also been to the USA. It was a long time ago, but all these memories are still very clear. Have some friends there in Alaska, Texas, Florida, New York, and some relatives, and I hope that I can visit them sometime soon. But my next aim would be Island. A dream come true. Or Schottland...

My dad is (Reisebegleiter) and has been all around the world, I`d like to do that also when I am older. He is supporting older people who like to see the world.

Oh, indeed. I have paid visits to the United Kingdom on multiple occasions. It is certainly a most cultivated and beautiful country and would be an immensely plesant place to live were it not for the rather disagreeable weather and the lackluster cuisine.

What do they say in the Schöfferhofer Commercial? "you cant have evrything" *sing*

@Grymnir
A very true observation. It's still deplorable though.

@LordYorkshire
Come on, it doesnt matter. Every Country has its problems :)

@Grymnir
True, true. In comparision to certain other countries, Britain's problems are negligible.

@LordYorkshire
Thats right. Germany has several bigger problems ^^

Like... Bavarias.

@Grymnir
Well, I can hardly impose my humble judgement on Germany since I currently take residence in Austria. However, Austria is not completely devoid of problems either.

@LordYorkshire
Oh, so i shouldnt make jokes about Bavarians, the Alp-Creatures, when you are around.

For me as a Saxon, everything far South of Rippachtal is Bavaria. Just like South Germans and Austrians say that everything above the Donau is Prussia...

But for me, Austrias Reputation is better then Bavarias.

@Grymnir
Oh yes, these stereotypes are alive and well. It can hardly be denied that they still wield a certain charm. But don't worry, I am not offended by jokes about Bavarians or Austrians, in fact, I find them quite enjoyable because in many cases they are quite trenchant.

are they even germans? :D

may i ask, why did you use that nick, is there any strong connection to yorkshire, fier example, do you support leeds united?

@azerate
No, my nickname on the one hand derives from my fondness for the United Kingdom in general, and on the other hand specifically from Yorkshire because I really enjoyed the English classic novel "Wuthering Heights", which is still one of my favorite pieces of literature and which takes place in Yorkshire.

@LordYorkshire:

did you ever consider, paying a visit to ireland? not much of a difference in the landscapes, and the food is...well...totally enjoyable as well ;)

@azerate
Ireland would indeed be one of my preferred destinations for any future trips. However, as a student, money is always scarce, so I'll have to save up some cash before I can make my next trip. Is Ireland expensive?
