Canada or Australia or Uk

I have never been to Australia but over my visits I preferred Canada to the UK, hopefully that will change after I go to Glasgow though.

 

I have only ever been to Canada and UK and I would say Canada by a mile. Much more relaxed way of life, warmer summers(worse winters though snow can get several feet deep) but everything was just a lot better. Dont know about Australia.

 

I'm pretty sure Toronto actually overtook Vancouver as the most expensive city in Canada this year. Yeah, it'll be cheaper outside of Toronto (I've got cousins in Markham, Unionville, Pickering, Oshawa, Port Perry and just outside of Whitby. Out of all of those... I prefer Pickering. Toronto's a bit of a sprawling metropolis but the transport's good.

Vancouver is more compact, because you're limited with the mountains on the North shore and the Georgia Strait on one side. I just think it has more character and a bit more of a buzz to it, along with the Mountains and ocean being right on the doorstep. (Plus the Toronto Maple Leafs suck and the Canucks are amazing ).

 

Agreed

 

Thanks for all the inputs here lads...really helping...greatly appreciated!

 

been to toronto and british colombia, loved the vibe about both places, great culture.

always fancied oz but not been yet,

 

Toronto is brilliant in the summer! I spent 3 months there a few years back. Very cOOl, very laid back. Some brilliant festivals.

 

Been to a fair few places mate and honestly everywhere is more relaxed than the UK.

I really think our summers or lack of have something to do with it. It's depressing. All these other cultures have bbqs, street parties, festivals, carnivals all through summer because they know the weather will be gOOd.

 

I would say Canada is the best option out of those.
It's more similar to UK/Europe than America, but has all the advantages and cool aspects of life that that States has.

Personally, Aus is to far away, Canada not that far ona flight really (depending on which city you go, obviously).

 

GO LEAFS

 

Thanks again Bhoys and Ghirls for yer help...really didn't think I'd get so much info and comments back for this...amazing and there rely is Celts all over the world too which is great! I never doubted that though! Cheers

 

I hope its not too late, and is relevant in some way, but is New Zealand an option for you?

The North island has the same climate as Sydney or Melbourne, but there are NO poisonous insects or snakes...at all.Fantastic place with the same sort of outdoor sporting mentality as Australia.Thats where i would go if i was younger.

 

A leafs fan on the island? I knew there were a few over there but poor show. That's just inexcusable

The Leafs are actually my 2nd team. My brother's a hardcore fan. I went to Toronto with him to watch them last October. Was good.

 

i was born in hamilton

 

Spent a year in hamilton! Mcmaster uni

 

Thanks for the help again ppl...from talking to other people I am swaying more towards Vancouver ...main reasons it's a direct flight from Ireland...winters are rainy but I'm used to that..summers in general are very good...and it was voted the most liveable city in the world...and they love irish!....well still won't be making a call on it until another month or so..have to have more time to think!

 

Bump....for people that wanted me to let them know what I ended up doing...I got my visa for OZ last week so heading over end of April with another buddy...going to Melbourne first but will prob end up in Perth as that seems to b where the most money can b made at the moment!
