Thinking about some stuff on the bus ride home from work tonight...I thought that maybe I don't belong in the country where I currently live, Canada.
I was just thinking about my general interests, and overall, there isn't a lot of places in Canada to the things I want to do. Sure, southern Ontario has places like Toronto and the GTA, but, it's still Canada.
The area just frustrates me. Takes 7 hours to get to anywhere decent, and it's HORRIBLE for public transportation (Greyhound is expensive, we barely have trains, and they don't go far).
I'm a huge avid listener/supporter of Electronica, and Canada pretty much only has 'concerts' (Aka, lets bring shitty top 40 bands and let them play). I have a few friends in Europe that are always telling me about insane shit they go to pretty much every months (Saw some HTID events, holy fucking shit awesome).
I'd kill to see Sharkey and Hixxy live. Honestly, murder.
Gaming is better there too. Lower pings, smaller country in terms of area squared, but, same amount of people (roughly). USA is filled with stupid WoW players, and quite frankly, seeing a league like MLG get huge attention is utterly pathetic. Both piss me off. I'm somewhat competitive in Quake, but I'd think I'd play more if I lived in a place like that.
So yeah, I'm considering this Europe thing. I don't know exactly where to go, but I'm looking for advice. I spent a week or so in a small town outside of Oxfordshire, wasn't really 'fun'. I'm thinking I'd like to live in a bigger city, but not absolutely massive with shit tons of people (Rather live in a city with less multiculturalism).
I wouldn't move now, not until I get my diploma. Once I get that, I think I wouldn't have a problem moving. I don't have much here really. Canada is nice if you're...not me.

Even tho you mentioned many other thing, you shouldn't leave your country behind JUST for gaming and the music. I made the experience home is always stays home, no matter how cool the new place is. At the beginning it's cool 'n stuff but after a while you'll start to see things clearly and by then you know what canada was good at.
If your money isn't too short you should go to a country for vacation (the ones you're considering as your new home). And stay at friends who show you around. Of course you can't get to see the lifestyle in just a few days, besides everyone can live a different one. Even England could be cool, although the food is so greasy (you can still buy and eat the stuff you're used to ^^).
Get your diploma first, mate ;)
