Also, from a religious point of view, there is a lot more going on here, and like I said, we don't need to get into the education, financial, cultural, diversity, fashion, aspect of it.

      We have the same liberties in UK and mainland Europe.

        My biggest problem with Canada is the cold here, not the snow, but the Cold. After all these years living here, I still haven't gotten use to it.

        The summer over here is awesome though

        In the States, which city/state do you guys recommend?

        As for Europe, it's not my type of place to live. Traveling there is nice, but not living. I have been to many places in Europe and didn't really feel comfortable there

                NYC. Queens is the most diverse place in the world.

                NYC= Financial, Cultural, Fashion capital of the world, with a steady tech scene on the rise(3rd in the US). I can't name a single city that offers what NYC does, including a 24 metro system for 2 dollars and 50 cents.
                Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.

                A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

                For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


                The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

                    I have visted NYC once, it was great indeed!. But how is the winter there? I am assuming it will be warmer there compared to Toronto because of the Atlantic current

                    In the States, Chicago is where I have visited most, and as much as I like the place, the winters there are brutal

                      The subway/transit system sucks here, trust me, even most Canadians now this.

                        It's not 24 hours, and no where near as comprehensive.

                          Why don't you come over and I'll guide you through the city and the subway and show you around.

                            I've visited Toronto before, and I know it's considered a mini NYC, but it's not the real deal. As Canadians say, Toronto is the most 'Americanized' city;

                              I'll go wherever you want me to go, as long as you ask nicely.

                                Im a proud Torontonian and Admin Khan is correct, Toronto is nothing compared to New York when comparing the sheer greatness of the cities and what it has to offer

                                New York is probably the greatest city on earth if you think about it

                                having said that, Toronto is a much better place to live in my opinion, simply based of safety, cost of living etc
