What do you miss about your old country?

For me it is the history. There’s not a lot here though they think there is.There is Aboriginal history but it isn’t so visible as things like Westminster Abbey and the wonderful old stately homes.

Men.... English or Irish guys are up for a laugh , they know how to flirt all quite innocently and walk away but at the end of the day you both go home with a smile and feel like you've had some fun.

Dutch guys have no idea how to do this they transition from puppy fat to beer fat and never gain a sense of humour.

Also miss ruins. the Dutch have no idea how to leave something to crumble gracefully it has to be repaired patched up renovated made to look new, spoils the whole thing.

I haven't gone to live anywhere else, but I miss how England used to be. I don't recognise it anymore.....

I've been in a lot of different of countries, some of them in quite exotic places, but my old country will always be my old country.

I belong in the past, and so now I'm foreign too Maver-rik.
I've have the best bits what the country has had to offer and because we only borrow it, we have to give it back to the young eventually.....

Quite true Cass, I don't know whether I'm just an old 'Stick in the Mud' or the world, especially England, is spiraling out of control....I can't say I'll be leaving a better place as it was when I entered it...It's certainly deteriorated on my watch...
