Now I'm a Canadian from a small town and first thing I'm wondering is what kind of jarring culture shock should I expect? The country I think I'm most likely to go to is england because the only other language I speak is French and my French is so bad they will either laugh or slap me.
Another question is, what other countries should I consider over the UK and why? And is it expensive to live in Europe ( where ever you are or recommending ?) How popular is English? Anything I should watch out for as a new comer?
I also have some questions about London especially. First off, how cheap is it to get to the rest of Europe usually? Is it expensive to live there? And how bad are the areas I don't want to live in? And will perform a ritual to sacrifice my first born to get a modest apartment in a decent area?
If the experiences of a Canadian girl who used to work for me is anything to go by you'll get laid plenty. People just love that Canadian accent in blighty.
I was in a pub with her and she got zero attention until she opened her mouth when suddenly men zeroed in on her from around the bar like that scene in Jurrasic park 2 when they are in the long grass and the velocoraptors trailed them.
Nicole cote that was her name, great girl, sweet and charming.
The culture difference is not huge here, I worked with quite a few Canadians and they fitted right in.#
