City Den Haag in the Netherlands is like a big village, its wonderful place to live. Amsterdam is good example of drug control where smoking weed is not considered crime but very few hard drug user (Dutch ppl say its because of very little control for weed). Night life is also wonderful there. Red light area in Amsterdam is very famous. I herd that in Holland there are 150,000 registered prostitutes. In sea beaches, during summer women without bra is not considered naked (because they are still wearing panty. Netherlands is not a touristic country except for the night life of Amsterdam and weed loving ppl.Dutch ppl are not racist in comparison to French and German. Brussels is good for tourist and liberal to outsiders looking for job as opposed to Holland and France. Paris wonderful city, but I dont like traffic. In restaurants food are served with very good decoration but quality and quantity? I am not sure. Sometime I think French foods are over rated. German: lots of good cities nicely decorated compared to cities in France and Holland. Everything is new built after Second World War. Serious and hard working ppl, food is not as expensive as in France. Finland: Good country but Helsinki, the capital, gives the feeling of Moscow. In 1997 there was only one Nepali restaurant in Rattikattu str. but when I was there once again in 2002 Jan there were 5 Nepali restaurants all run by relative of original restaurants. London: I like it except the traffic Birmingham: I like it except the traffic Warsaw: Nice city to visit but dangerous at night especially after 9 pm. In entire Europe the economy is not as dynamic as in US. VAT is very high 15 to 25% whereas in US some states dont have sales tax and others have 6.5 to 8% as far as I In England lots of good places to visit Czech Republic: Prague is nice city to visit but dangerous at night especially after 9 pm understand. Moscow: Good for tourist, lots of pollution and not good at night In US, quality of food in restaurants are not that good but they serve enough food not like in France where in some case one have to order two full meal in order to have full tummy. Clothing and electronics are very cheap in US almost 25% cheaper than Europe. What I dont like in US is their use of foot pound system instead of metric system. So if you are visiting us from US buy lots of things there. So for me EUROPE is place to live, US is place to make and save money.
