What should I do?

Hey, I've been thinking about going to another country to live in a large city there. I've never lived in a big city so I want to experience what it would be like! So, here are some countries and cities that I am interested in living with a pro/con list. So, help me. I'm not sure if I'll go in February or do it in the summer (you guys are welcome to join too). So here we go.

Sweden- Gothenburg/Göteborg
+already know Swedish, already know about Swedish culture, used to the weather, Göteborg looks like an incredibly nice city, Swedish sweets, Swedish guys (mmmmmmm), a liberal country, midsommar, the nature
- Kind of want to try living in a country I haven't lived in, expensive

Denmark- Copenhagen
+ near Sweden and the rest of Europe, looks nice, kind of similar to Sweden, can kind of understand Danish (definitely not spoken!)
- expensive (more expensive then Sweden I think), really expensive to live in Copenhagen, Danish...

Netherlands-Amsterdam
+ very liberal, Dutchies are so nice and crazy, chocolate sprinkles on toast, kind of cheap, easy to go to other parts of the country/other countries in Europe, have been there and loved it
-the euro, don't know Dutch

Germany- Hamburg/Berlin
+ Those cities seem really nice, progressive/efficient, German boys, German food, German beer, German, pretty cheap to live in Berlin
- Don't know German, the euro

France- Paris/another city
+ already know French kind of, French food,
- can't really understand when they talk XD

UK- London/another city
+ already know English, sexy accents, beautiful nature, interesting history
- rains a lot, really expensive, the pound, too much of US' bitch

Ireland- Dublin
+ beautiful, interesting, guiness, already know English
- I don't know too much about Ireland, hmm... pretty Catholic? I don't know...

Canada- Toronto
+ close to home (about 45 minutes), more liberal and forward than the US, already know English, as expensive as the US
- close to home, not in Europe

Canada- Montréal
+ already know French, they have cool accents, liberal, Québec is similar to Europe, not as close as Toronto
- not in Europe

I don't know much information on such stuff on these countries. So I hope any of you who are more well-travelled/know some more can help me and give me some more information ;)

Yay!!

I GOT MY LICENSE =D

2 months

It's been two months since I've been home. I know some people are pretty tired of me talking about Sweden, but it was such a huge and important part of my life, only other exchange students can understand this. It hurts to think that the same time last year I was there. It's not easy being home again, any exchange student can tell you this.

It hurts, some time it's easy and sometimes it's so hard, like right now. I don't want to forget, I can't forget. I miss Sweden, I miss everyone I met there. It hurts that I haven't really talked to most of the people since I left, some I've talked to quite a lot. A lot were on holiday and were being back home again, some have been busy with school. Today, I looked at a message from a friend there, I realized I haven't heard from her since July, I started crying. Sometimes, it feels like it never happened, like it was a dream or something. I really miss everyone, I want to talk to them more often, with people who are feeling the same as I am. I can't talk with anyone here, they think it was like just a vacation...

I really think I should read my journal from when I was there, I think it would be good for me, though it will hurt...

I love LGBT people

We're just so wonderful, cool, lovely, nice, and open-minded. Love you all!

She's transexual so what?

Ok, so the 11th cycle of America's Next Top Model just started. I'm really excited about it. It seems like it will be a great cycle, some of the girls are really cool. In this cycle, there's a transexual girl, well (male to female, pre-op). She is fierce, she knows how to work it, those other mean, bigot bitchies are jealous. People complain about her being a male, she looks like a female and she feels like she's a female so I guess she is. If she walked by me, I would never have guessed she was a guy.

I thought she was going to use her transexuality to get her on Top Model, but that is so not the case, she's really passionate about. Go Isis! Yeah, she has a cool name too.

My other favourites:

Sheena: She's half Korean, half Japanese. She's so ghetto! If you talked to her on the phone, you would think she's one of those ghetto people. I loved when she was talking ghetto like and Ms Jay said something in Japanese/Korean and she said something back, so calm like. Hehe ^^

Josyln: a black girl from the South, she seems like a fun person

Marjorie: an immigrant from France, she's so cute! She does cool poses

Elina: A lesbian or maybe she's bi. She's so fierce. I love her opinions on certain stuff. She wears black and only pants because she doesn't believe in following traditional gender roles.

I'm thinking about writing a book

Well, it's a gay love story. So far, the plot is two guys who come from conservative families, one isn't out to his family and the other (from the South, from a really religious family) lies to himself and says he's straight. I want to include a cool lesbian character ;) I need some more ideas on developing the story; I want an interesting/tragic ending. So, give me some.

Hmm, I've just thought of a new one. A bisexual guy (or it could be a girl) who loves both a boy and a girl and can't decide who he/she loves more.
