My guess is that he doesn't want to say because there are faults with that place and he doesn't want the vultures here picking the country apart.

yup.. per sq ft. you can rent too, but thats anywhere from 2k - 6k a month depending on location. the offset is that salaries (for professionals, anyways) are higher than in canada and there is a greater opportunity for career advancement. If I had to pick anywhere else in the world to live other than Canada, SG would be near the top of my list...
yeah, i don't get it, what's the big deal of sharing that info? especially after getting into so much detail about living there, and NOT naming the country...my guess is japan (but that Busa is throwin me off cuz they have a graduated system there and it'd take a while to get up into that CC range, i'd think, taxes are low and the cigs are cheap) i'm sure i'm wrong
c'mon Easy rider, is it that a big deal to share that info? or is it to protect national security?
(i wouldn't take anything on this forum personally, btw...)

Why would that matter? If you are making more money, paying less taxes, insurance etc, thats all most care about.......my friends in California remind me all the time, unfortunately most companies seem to have hiring/move/promotion freezes right now.
Now ask that "Why would that matter" question again...

because of the taxes they do pay, even less goes back to them.
higher debt > mandatory higher debt associated charges > higher share of tax revenue to pay those charges > less money that gets used for the "public good"
I think currently 10% leaves the US to pay for debt charges, thats money that does tax payers just wave bye bye too. Its the 4th biggest mandortory spending chunk fo the US budget, behind Social Security, Medicare, and Unemployment/Welfare. Its more then Medicaid/Children's Health Insurance and more then 4x as much as is spent on the dept of education
so while they might not see it, those lower taxes which are leading to a higher national debt, are costing them more then they realize and will also cost their kids a lot for a long time.
It Sucks, But It's What It Is...............
It's amazing that's never been made into made into a bumper sticker isn't it? The funny part is the damn thing would sell sell like half arsed crullers out of 'Hortons.

The attack of the penile insecure. They know their position is indefensible, but with a little support and some injection suddenly a thrust becomes a viable alternative.
Actually I'd be willing to put real money on doubting the credentials of the Pro-Canuckistan people. All-Inclusive holidays and gov't travel advisories does not mean you've travelled. Sowry.
LMAO, it's GTam...............Toronto itself is a bizarre illusory place, where you can be a jerkoff, eat half arse sushi, disobey pedestrian signals, watch CSI Yo'Tard.......and still have an air of superiority on the lil' people.
Arguing with a Libtard from Hogtown is like shooting pool with a piece of rope. Everytime you come up with a decent shot they go limp, shutup and wait to see where the balls end up.
Then they beotch you out for the lousy shot.
You should get out more often dude. And maybe supersize your circle of "tard" friends.
When you go back to whatver backwater spawned your insecure ***, you might want to have a better essay on "how i spent my summer vacation" than the above purile observations from the internet.
The big room with the blue roof is where it all happens. Not in a condo in Mississauga. FYI.
You want a heads up on good sushi, you let me know. It's everywhere. Lotsa bad, but also lotsa good.
Luck to you brother while you fester in this societal vacuum. Poor lad.

I'd really like to know which country OP was referring to. But in my mind, every place has it hang ups. Some folks are irked by it(believe me, I hate a lot of things about Ontario, can't speak for the rest of Canada), others are oblivious.
My dream is to live in a place that doesn't snow so I can ride all year round.

Except for the first line..Venezuela
I think the bottom line of all of this is that "you've gotta pay to play".
Things feel tight these days, and I'm feeling far broker than I did in 2008. (I think buying a motorbike has something to do with that
). But it is of value to live somewhere where you don't have to bear arms and where you can take your safety for granted.
Not that our government is particularly good at spending our money...

Ya, nobody gets murdered in Toronto lol.
Well, the Toronto murder rate is already one of the lowest in the world as far as large and even small cities are concerned. And once you take the gangmember-on-gangmember killings and the domestic homicides out of the picture, the remaining numbers of stranger-on-stranger murders in Toronto is quite small. So yes, compared to most places in the world, Toronto is incredibly safe as far as random stranger-on-stranger violence is concerned.
It would be nice if education, on a College, and University level was paid for by the Government. I am no expert in accounting and business however the European countries that do offer free education ( even Russia ) are not suffering in the education department. So with that being said, it makes me wonder where all of this money goes that we pay for school tuition ?. Universities must be making a killing to make so much money off every single student, not to mention a good number of them end up just dropping out with debt, and no piece of paper. However, teachers get laid off, schools shut down from lack of funding, and the list goes on, so..... where does this money go ?
I've lived in Australia and the USA......never once looked at murder rates as one of my criteria. I would think the gang related murders are probably make up most of the murders in other countries like the USA as well ?
I used to wonder about moving to Venezuela at some point. I have a friend from Venezuela and I told him about it. Then he told me about life in Caracas.
I no longer want to move to Venezuela...

Look at pictures....
Find pictures that show it's Korea.
Or....
Use the street sign on the building as a reference
"Some years ago, the Korean government began to apply street names. Over the last 10 years in all urban areas, street signs have begun to appear, as well as signs on individual buildings showing the street name and a new street number, as in the Western style, with odd numbered buildings on one side of the street, and even-numbered buildings on the other. This was in anticipation of a new law, "The law for indicating the address based on the street names," which came into effect in April 2009."

I don't live in Toronto
Even the worst parts of Kitchener, Hamilton, Toronto (Jane Street), etc. feel nothing like parts of Detroit and Inglewood around LAX. I've still felt fairly safe, but have been more concerned about safety in parts of Regina and Edmonton. But to be honest, Canada is a pretty safe and secure place.
These are observations - I have better things to do than look up exact stats.
