I'm surprised Dublin is so low. The cost of living here is insane.

Id like to see a comparison that takes into account costs and average incomes. That would do me much more good then looking at everything from a US dollar earned point of view.
2000 pesos is only about 600 US but on 2000 pesos you can live far more comfortably in buenos aires than you could for $2000 Canadian in Toronto for example. And for me, earning that 2000 a month down there was easier than it is here. It takes me double that in canadian dollars to have anywhere close to the same lifestyle i had there. |
then why are you here???
you *constantly* complain about the state of this city...this country...our government...our laws...and often point out how other countries do things better...yet you continue to live and work here.
if the grass is *so* much greener, why not put your money (and yourself) where your mouth is...and move?
I'm also honestly asking, btw... |

Because i want the canada that once was but better. The way i see it we are heading down the wrong path right now. Just giving up is not an option (yet). I hope people change their attitudes but it seems that their attitudes are just getting worse. Perhaps one day i will move. But id like to see what happens here first. |

Actually what most russians craved was the freedom to travel and express themselves. Many of them still want communism but without the dictatorship that came with it. |
