True-ish, much as I love Scotland, there is more in London, in terms of volume...

BTW, I don't live there because it is too expensive, I just go there to work ;)

And also BTW, me and mrs c are going to Scotland in two weeks! :cool: :cool: :cool:

I didn't actually like London when I was last down there.....  granted, I mostly spent the time in an office and at the Holiday Inn, but I just prefer Glasgow.  I've had a few offers of interviews or whatnot from London based companies, but I wouldn't move there even for the fairly silly money that was touted (£30,000 in one case).

Glasgow is nice, I've encountered a tiny amount of Anti-Englishism but then you encounter Anti-somethingism wherever you go these days. London's been my hometown since I was born though, and If anyone reads Pratchett, I can only describe my attitude as similiar to Cmdr Vimes' attitude to Ankh Morpork, ie, hating it is very nearly a patriotic duty, and theres nowhere else I'd rather be.

As far as Canadians studying and the language barrier is concerned, sounds to me like Scotland would be a good idea ;)

So... anyone wanna help me pay to go abroad? :p It'd keep me out of the forums, and thus stop me from annoying you all online! :D

Wherever you go, make sure it's a language that you're going to be connected to for the rest of your life.

English is fine and all that if you're in need of traveling pointlessly, but the most experience can be gained where a primary language is a launguage you don't speak/want to learn, and where the secondary is English so that others can actually understand you.
