This is my first reply here at JW.com
I was brought up in the States and had a great childhood (which also refers to the area i lived in)
My sister and her family still lives in the States, NY area.
20 some ago I moved to Norway where i still live. Norway is good place to live, a total welfare
state. You people would be surprised of the benefits here. So, a good place to live and a great
country to raise children. But...we had the winter season and it's dark, rainy (if not snowy) and
depressing. I'm in a stage of PSGD (post season gold depression ). Well I've back to the states
a couple of times and it struck me how Americans were in a state of "collective angst" especially
concerning their children. That must be a tough constant state to be in! Totally unlike Europe.
My favorite countries would be;
April - September : Scandianavian Countries, Canada
October- March: Australia, New Zealand
