Is Canada the first country you listed because it's your #1 favorite country?
Yes, absolutely. Canada's my #1 favorite country. Canada has great scenery (it's said that the Canadian Rockies are the grandest of all mountain ranges), great music (Paul Anka and C?line Dion both from Canada) and of course, great people. Like Aillas
. And also, one of my old classmates who was from Calgary. I also have another old classmate living in Edmonton. Then there is a good friend who studies in the University of Waterloo. One of my favorite friends on FB live in BC.
Number 2 is United Kingdom, as listed, because it has great food (now British food is not boring!) and it is the global financial hub. Number 3 is Ireland, because of its beer and scenic beauty - oh yes, and its distinctive style of music. And Great Britain and Ireland seem to have great people, too.
I like New Zealand, Australia and Singapore roughly equally. Singapore is my home, Australia has my sort of laddish lifestyle (it seems, not to be offensive to real Aussies out here) and NZ has my perfect type of social structure. But then.. I love the cold for now.
Singapore is a country that I also like, but I kind of took it for granted. Maybe I need to live for, like, 4-8 years outside Singapore to appreicate the greeness of the grass in Singapore (which is indeed true actually, our grass here is so green that makes all grass patches so beautiful, though a little yellowish when there is too much Sun).
