Where would you pick? Why?

I'd like to live somewhere else in the EU. Not too far from home, but far away enough so that I can see the differences. Somewhere like France or Germany.

UK without a doubt. - England. ;) Because I consider myself a huge anglophile, and I'm pretty much obsessed with the culture and places there. :)

I find this really amusing. LMAO.

Tea. Drink it, cherish it, worship it. Make it a habit to drink at least two cups a day if you can. Become familiar with the common British tea brands, which can be bought at international markets or simply online. Get used to drinking it with milk, as this is the way it is traditionally consumed.

I don't like tea! I am a terrible Brit ;D

I don't like tea either! Eugh. I'm a terrible Brit as well lol.

Me neither!

Wow is that how we're viewed?
I hate tea. My parents drink gallons of the stuff, but I think it's tasteless and horrible.
How very stereotypical!

I'm pretty happy in Australia (Sydney). I know, how close-minded is that? xD Our winters do get a bit cold for me (I am REALLY intolerant of the cold, so anywhere with a noticeable winter would probably freeze me xD) but I love our hot summers. It hardly ever rains (which is a plus for me and my hair xD). It's spacious; people aren't packed into monster apartment blocks like sardines (except when you get reeeeally close to the city). And we get a mixture of cultures here, which I love. I think if I lived in a relatively culturally-un-diverse country (e.g. Italy) I'd get sick of it real quick.

Although Australia doesn't have many of the beautiful landscapes that New Zealand, for example, has. I think the desert is kinda boring. xD

Hey desert never gets boring! Just think sand dunes and 4 wheel drives XD I always look forward to going down South here in Jordan so we could go to the desert!

Yeah that's my main reason for prefering NZ. Australia is too spaced out. Plus I think I'd melt in an Australian summer.

As a city I did love Melbourne though. I think it would be a great place to live.

Cold?!

I SCOFF AT YOUR COLD.

England. No competition. My family still lives over there, and I am so awe-struck by the history and customs.

What customs? Just curious as I'm English so maybe I don't notice them because they have always been there.

A little bit of everything haha, my Grandmother instilled tea time in me, although I HATE tea, I still take that time to have a little snack and either spend it talking with friends and family, or just reflection. The holidays you celebrate that most Americans dont. There is a very different view of the world that the English have, and I love that. I feel very different from my fellow Americans because that view was instilled in me from the moment I was born. I absolutely do not feel like I am a 'normal' American. haha.

You have tea time, its called dinner time/supper.

Haha, well with my grandmother and the way I was raised, we have Breakfast, Lunch, Tea time (usually right after school if your kids are in school) and around 6 we had dinner. She did a very good job of carrying over what she did 'back home' and what the American system instilled in her children.

I've never heard of tea time in that sense, only as the evening meal around 6.

Like I said, she had to integrate two cultures into one. After she moved here, she used her tea time as a time for her to personally sit and reflect on everything, she still fed my mother her 'evening meal' but since America really recommended after school snacks at that time she decided she would use the afternoon snack period to teach us all about her old life.

Was your gran Scottish or English? I find most Scottish people say it like that (although tea time can also be in the morning), but my English and Welsh family don't. To them tea is the evening meal.

She was English. :)

It could be regional I guess (although both my parents say 'tea' for the evening meal and my dad is from the north of England and my mum is from the south, although my dad could have picked it up from my mum I suppose). Where in England was she from?

She moved to London when she was 8 I believe, and thats where she moved from when she came to the US, but I do not know where she lived before that, I cannot remember the name of the town. Its possible one of her parents were Scottish? I dont know much about them, she never really shared anything about them, they were very angry with her when she moved to America.

In Scotland some people say 'tea time' to mean to drink tea. We don't say tea for the evening meal. We say dinner for evening meal and lunch for lunch (where as the English & Welsh say dinner for lunch and tea for evening meal, lol). It gets VERY confusing whenever I go to visit my family in Wales!

I say lunch and then I interchange between dinner and tea for the evening meal. I don't like either word, I find them unattractive sounding ;D
