What place is better to live in? Ireland, England, or Scotland?
I want to move to one of these countries after I am done with school but I have absolutely no idea where. I am bored of the place I currently live in. I have heard these places are quite nice. Where should I move, in your opinion? Which one has better economy and friendly people? Also, which one has the better weather and more culture? Actually, you don't have to answer these questions, just tell me which country is better in your opinion, please? (:

I have been to each of these countries, and truly loved them all. I suppose I would have to say that England was my favourite, but I am not sure that I could put my finger on why. The questions that you ask about the atmosphere would sort of depend on what you like personally (in terms of weather, social interaction, et cetera). The best thing, which I would strong advise, would be to take some time to travel about the British Isles before you make any concrete plans about where you want to actually live. Go with what feels the best to you! A wonderful way to do this would be to take a tour. There is a month-long one that I actually went on myself some years ago--I definitely recommend it. http://www.affordabletours.com/search/tours/33594/

I'll keep it short and sweet. England. Why?- People are nice, economy isn't great but I'm sure we'll recover. ;)

Ireland - Ireland is a very beautiful lush green country. It is an independent state from the rest of the UK and has it's own distinct culture and identity. It has some fascinating cities like the capital, Dublin as well as smaller but beautiful cities like Cork and Limerick. The economy of Ireland in recent times has not been so good but Ireland still continues to have a higher standard of living of that in England or Scotland. The people of Ireland are famous the world over for being friendly. A lot of Irish people enjoy a good drink and love to socialise. The weather of Ireland is the same as most of the countries of the British Isles as in you can experience the four seasons in one day. The weather is vey unpredictable but if you are living here for a long time then you will experience hot,sunny,wet, windy, snowy weather. The culture of Ireland is very unique and centres on the Gaelic culture and language, irish dancing, folk culture etc. England - England is a very formal and proud country. It has the world famous city of London which has all the famous sites. It also has lots of other smaller cities each with their own "accents" and histories. The economy of England is similar to most countries in the world at the moment in that it is going through a rough patch but is slowly improving. The people of England are really very varied wherever you go. There is a North-South divide in England and the stereotypes are that the southern half of England has posh and snobbish people while the north has common and loud people but overall the majority are really very friendly and helpful. The weather again is very unpredictable. It rains in the morning and can be really sunny in the afternoon. I wouldn't really say England has a distinct culture. The culture of England is viewed around the world as the culture of the UK. Scotland - Scotland always has and always will have a distinct and seperate culture and indentity from the rest of the UK. Scotland is a land of mighty misty mountains and lochs(lakes), romantic and ancient cities and dramatic windswept coastlines. The economy of Scotland is pretty much the same of that of England in that we are recovering from the global financial crisis. Scottish Nationalists who are campaigning for independence say that an independent Scotland would be one of the richest countries in Europe with the majority of the Oil that sits of their shores which is true. The people of Scotland are world famous for being extremely welcoming and friendly. They are proud patriotic people. The weather of Scotland is very dramatic. When it rains, you will get extreme rain and thunder storms and when it is hot, it can get unusually hot for a Northern European country. The culture of Scotland is based on it's history, it's poets and inventors, it's national icons like bagpipes, tartan, castles, golf, whisky etc. I really could not say that one of these countries is a better place to live because they are all such great places to live and visit and no matter where you choose to live, you will always be so close to the others and can visit often. Good Luck

You have posted in the UK section. Please note, only NORTHERN IRELAND is British. There is an Irish section. The very long answer, above, about Ireland, failed to even mention the fact Northern Ireland EVEN EXISTS, for some reason !!??? They also say Ireland is separate from the rest of the UK. The SOUTH is NOT part of a UK, to be apart from the "rest" of it. Northern Ireland IS separated, from the rest of the UK, by the Irish Sea and has a border with the Republic. Also, what about my part of the world, WALES? It is best. The UK or "Britain" for short, is "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (ie: England, Scotland, Wales and NI ). Note, The Irish Republic, or Southern Ireland, or Eire uses the Euro. Their economy is even worse than ours, just now! I say Wales IS best , because that is where I am from. I live now in England, where I make a living and have made a "home". Also lived, many years, in Scotland, which is lovely. Depends what you are looking for out of a place. Too superficial to just say one....

England! London has nice climate because it is in the South of England. But the people are too busy to be friendly. And the way of living is very expensive. So I decided to moved in the Heart of North West of England . It's beautiful the country side. People are lovely. Not too expensive to live. Nice country pub and restaurants. Nice climate. Not crowded!
