Lovely insight has been exposed about life in these countries, however anybody have an idea of what life in Austrilia is.
Life as student, visiting, tourist or what ever. The chances and odds of living in Austrilia.

   Thanks for appreciating my article, it gives me great delight.
   Though, i've heard much about Japan, but i've never been to it. . . You can search the web and read about it for yourself. Take care.

   I've never been to Australia, and i don't know much about Australian education system due to the following factors:
*Their immigration laws
*The documentation policies
*And their social rules and regulations which are considered strict to immigrants.
  It is worthwhile to know that asylum seekers in Australia are kept in custody which could be compared to maximum security prison with every restriction in place, and be aware that Australia is a Conservative country that seldom create opportunity programmes such as Scholarships, Carrier pursuit schemes, Residence or Work permits, Training courses schemes, Asylum benefit or Immigration schemes etc.
  Now, allow me to compare Australia with Ireland (or the UK) so as to give a semi clear image of the matter. Talking about the climate or weather in these two countries, many parts of Australia are more or less like many parts of Africa; generally arid to semiarid; temperate in south and east; tropical in north: This is the only advanced country where water is managed with some questionable degree of regulations to monitor water usage. 
  As for Ireland, there has always been open programmes schemes to help immigrants to the benefit of their own economy which had boosted remarkably in recent years, in fact, (until this era of financial crises) it was rated the 2nd best in the word after Luxembourg.  It's always raining in Ireland: temperate maritime; modified by North Atlantic Current; mild winters, cool summers; consistently humid; overcast about half the time.
  If you're contemplating on making a choice between Australia and Ireland (or the UK), i would advice that you consider Australia because, Ireland and the UK have their hands full and tight with immigrants; both documented and undocumented, students and families, asylum seekers and naturalised dwellers.
  Though there are opportunities in these two countries, and while Ireland may be appealing because of it's rich and generous social welfare programmes, you'd only be like any other African or Asia students once in Ireland because, the education system (for those who are already in the state) is come-one-come-all: so, doing your education here does not guarantee you anything enviable afterall, asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants from African and Asia do attend same schools. Now, considering the fact that you've gained admission into an institution in a country like Australia that is known for stinginess and selfishness inhospitality to asylum seekers, the opportunity you'd have in Ireland might not be as compared to the one you'd have in Australia. Try Australia because, it hasn't yet been messed up by us: Australia is for Australians and those who are invited into it!

   All the above mentioned countries are Scandinavians, and except for the languages, they have a lot of similarities as they share many features in common; being it whether, economy, social life styles and even race resemblance: Please, note that Norway and Iceland are not in the EU, therefore, you (with a Greek Adeia Paromonis) might not be eligible to exercise all rights. However, i would recommend Finland for some reasons which i'm a bit too lazy to write about now, at the moment.
   But, if i may ask, what category of Adeia Paramonis to you hold?
Re: Life In Various Foreign Countries: From My Experience by bulletG(m): 8:20am On May 03, 2010
@ Vicjustice, thanks so much 4 ur early response, u r really a good Nigerian, if we have more pple like u especially here in Europe, then our pple wont be making all this costly mistakes we do.

I will suggest that you move to Denmark with your spouse. You and your spouse may have a better opportunity there than Sweden and Finland. Norway could have been better for you but unfortunately they still apply restriction on the movement of Bulgaria citizen. Of course, Finland and Sweden are nice country too but your wife is likely not to find job so soon due to language barrier. And for you to be officialy registered in any of those countries your wife must be exercising her EU treaty Rights.

   Thank you for the nice words, i was moved by it and that gave me the encouragement to write even though i wasn't ready for it.
   First of all, i should bring to your attention that i did visit Finland during my stay in Estonia, but it was just for one night and two days, and that was to watch Justin Gatlin win the 100m World Athletic Championship, but i forgot to add it to the list of the countries i've been to perhaps because, i didn't see much of the country.
   Now, it is worthwhile to note that Scandinavian areas are arguably the best part of Europe in many aspects, and that the countries involved are very simalar in many positive regards, which means, whatever privilege that a person enjoys in one Scandinavian country is more or less enjoyed in other Scandinavian countries. Also, it's desirable to know that Scandinavians are very well educated people hence it is microscopically rare to find someone who does not understand English (no matter the age) almost everybody speaks English. The truth is, Denmark and Finland are about the same level in almost everything, but the main reason i suggested Finland is the fact that Denmark is a bit too infested by immigrants from poorer EU countries.
   And as for your question about how i know "so much" about Greece, i think you didn't read the opening article of this thread, otherwise, you would have understood it. Nevertheless, i'm glad to say that i don't only know about Greece, i do speak the Ellinika (Greek) language and can write in its alphabet. cool

Tegese:

I appologize, I didnt see your post earlier.
Bulgaria is regarded as the A2 and therefore are going through transitional period as member of eu. Which means some other eu countries apply some restriction on their freedom of movement. In some countries they are entitled to work immediately without the need of work permit while in some other countries in Eu they need work permit. But of course it is not a big problem for them as they dont go through the same process as those who need visa and work permit. Also, their transitional period i suppose will end by 2012.

Thanks for your comment.
Well, Dublin is not in the UK, it is the capital city of the Republic Of Ireland which is a separate state from the UK's territory Norther Ireland that has Belfast as its capital. However, these cities have many things in common and your choice to live in any would be totally up to your preferential decision.

   Honestly talking, people like you make it difficult for genuine people to get tourist visas.
   Anyway, with a valid tourist Schengen visa for France, you won't be encountering any difficulty nor restriction should you wish to move to Finland as both are borderless Schengen states: you won't even come in contact with immigration officers since flight within Schengen countries are scheduled to taxi through the restriction-free zones where the passangers can disembark and follow the passage-way leaving the airport just like domestic travel: the only people that would check your documents are the officials in France, but you would definitely be cleared to board, then, you're free to enter Finland, but then, you'll be illegal as soon as your visa expires and that is when your struggle begins.
