How many of you have lived in multiple countries ? which counrties where they? and what where biggest difficulties you found? I'm an Australian on student exchange in Finland and i'm wondering how many off you have expieneced more then one culture and have you had the same sort of problems and annoyancies as I have.

Why would I want to leave my country it's great here.

pssst, help, they won't let me out and...

*BENG* *BOINK* *STOMP*

Nothing to see here, move along.

That was kind of random.

I've lived in two countries- america and ireland. biggest difference i had to adjust to was the weather. californian weather is ho-ot! i'm back here in ireland though. the 6 years in america was great but the earthquake of 1989 not so much.

Two countries. Mexico and Canada. Both countries have their goods and bads, but I like Canada better (duh!), even the weather.

yes, i would have to agree that the weather is quite a change, going from my home in Aus where the minium i ever had wasmaybe 15 celcius to finland where it averages minus 10.

That would have been weird.

I personally haven't lived anywhere other than here in Sydney, but if I did have to live anywhere else, it'd have to have good public transportation.

I grew up in the military and lived all over. I have been to 46 states (lived in 5) and also lived in Germany for almost 3 years

I've lived in 2 neighbouring suburbs.

Yes:

Japan - the language is a bit difficult, although I gained a working knowledge.

Vietnam - didn't like the bullets.

Germany - didn't have an opportunity to learn the language.

I've always played a hand at moving around, mostly on the Pacific rim. New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Canada, and the US.

Every place takes a bit of adjustment, but you get used to it after a while.

Ukraine to US.

So many changes, I won't even list them. But A LOT changed.

China, Singapore, Australia. Lived in all three for all over 6 months, living in Australia now and like it here best.

I was born in Durban, South Africa and lived there till I was 14. Then I moved to Sydney, and now I live in Melbourne during uni semester, and spend holidays in Sydney.
