I just love those who cant understand a different between culture and mentality . When Natalia Oreiro comes in Russia and declares that Russia is a amazing country, i want to ask: Seriosly?) And when did you have time to realize it?). You realized it in a fashionable hotel, accompanied by buisness man who taught you eat borsch, I suppose. It is so nice....
But what about facts, that a lot of russian villages have no gas pipelines and sewerage ? What about the fact that the most people in Russia get 300 euro per month? Is it cool, really?
Never mix the culture and system. Probably you like Brazil for their samba , football and coffe, but you forgot that Brazil is one of many criminal countries where crimе rate so high , that people still keep bearing arms when they walk down the street.
Iceland, UK, Switzerland , Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Holland, Germany, Finland, Austria, Belgium - here is amazing countries. They do not lure foreigners with vodka or carnival, they lure them with a high standard of living, salaries, pensions, well-groomed cities and villages.Anothers just can not to offer nothing besides food and dancing.

I don't really understand when people say a "high standard living"! You mean like a king or queen in a palace with all luxury? There are people who have everything yet, they are in the search for happiness and often ask the question "what does life mean?" In the other hand, those who can't offer anything except food and dancing have little to complain and are quite content with what they have.
For instance, you can like <em>Friends</em> <em>and </em>think that the US has a messed up health system. <em>
</em>And you can do this for every culture vs. the society it exists in.
Some people can afford to choose to live in underprivileged conditions, because they know they can always go back to their privileged lifestyles. A person who has a house with running hot water and a comfortable bed can easily choose to go camping for a few days and return to the comfort of their home. But most people who live in such conditions would do anything to get out of their camps/slums and never look back.
If we, as a species, did not value comfort, we would not have moved away from the hunter-gatherer lifestyle and settled into cities.
Nostalgia makes people want to re-experience things, but only temporarily. We want to reconnect with nature, but we don’t actually want to go back to living in it. Perhaps there are some people who really want to give up all their comforts, but for most people, it’s just a camping trip or a semester abroad.
Just an example. ..In midnight you wake up because of loud police cars, or people are screaming. All these people are migrants. They are angry and want to fight with injustice. They wait documents for years, and get deportation anyway. They are not going to wait anymore. You don't know what building they burn today.. In the morning you bring your kid in kindergarten. Teachers don't call your boy He..anymore. They call IT. Because it...will decide when grow..is it he..or she...or both..or animal or something else. You don't go to center of the city, because today there is a gay parade. It's okey, just you don't want your kid see it..You go to metro..there is a migrant. You prefer go out...who knows what is in his head.. Also there is no even any natural food. You have to ask your Russian friends to bring you some medicine and food, when they come to you next time..
Would you guess country?
