Hola, Native European here, from Denmark actually. Now that is a good place to live, at least compared to so many other places.
Little known facts about Denmark: About 8-10% of the population is on Facebook. The standard Working Week is 37 hours. Danish building standards are among the highest in the world.

Years ago while I was in college I knew a lady who was from Denmark. She was really nice. When I meet some one from another country or region, I often like to talk to them about what things are like where they are from and compare the differences and similarities....interseting about the high standards Danes have in the quality buildings they make......Its not earthquake prone in Denmark is it?

No Denmark is a pretty nice place to live: No earth-quakes. But each Autumn we have storms that can reach up to hurricane strength at the west coast. But the building standards in North Europa is generally higher than American building standards. Frankly speaking, from what I have seen of American buildings it is no wonder why weather phenomenas are such as big problem for Americans. An average mid-American house would in Denmark only be considered a badly insulated shed. And the American development in electrical appliances and wiring standards are just horrendous, as an example the technology used on an American stove, we have discontinued to use in the 50's, because it is inefficient and dangerous. But for you guys from England the buildings and electrical appliances is the same standard as in Denmark, with the exception that you tend to put on more material to decorate the buildings, such as shaped arches and build-in shelves.
Yes, I know, I am damaged from working as an Electrician. *hee hee*

I remember once reading the standard of living in Denmark was the second highest in Europe. And isn't the actor Viggo Mortensen from Denmark? Does anyone know?

Mac Awol....I enjoyed reading what you had to say about your country....the appliances.....I can see there are ways Europeans are more practical/civilized than we Americans. I will see what I can do about sending you a subspace mail order bride from Qo'noS ..Kronos!!!

Yes, I think Viggo is original from denmark, he does have that typical jutlandish gruff attitude.
I have looked into a mail-order-bride from Qo'noS, but seriously that can quickly become a very expensive affair, first you pay for them (ger mother has to come along) to get to your home, then the mother ******* for a week, and she doesn't say a word, while you fast, and then you have to beat her in combat before you even get to really talk to her.
Nope, I prefer to met and talk to them first, before I spend money on them.
But still I like my showers like I like my klingon women.... Naked.
But yes, in my visits in the states I have been shocked over how low all standards are over there, and the average bodymass index is just disgusting.

Thanks Mac Awol!.... Nice description of dating Klingon women!!!!.......I think the worst part would be her mother!!! If you can afford it...go for it!!!! I agree on what you said about your trips here....too many people eat too much and unhealthy......I prefer to eat healthy most of the time!

Not exactly obvious, but... since some of his posts lead me to believe that Mr. Data is from California, deduction leads me to assume you are also from that state. Right?

Last week's earthquake wasn't on the news where you're at, Atoz? But yeah my guess is California as well.

I properly will be moving to the states at some point in the near future, not that I like the prospect of that, but what don't you do for love?
