If I lived in Europe I'd watch more football. We're spoiled here in the States with the best American Football league, the best basketball league and the best ice hockey league in the world... hmm, never mind, I don't want to live in Europe after all :p

The best American Football league? Are there more than one?

Plus, if you lived in Europe you could see Maiden more frequently. And drink proper beer.
 
Canada has an American Football league, Mexico has a collegiate league and god knows about the rest of the American continent and I'm sure Europe has some, but people are so busy watching football, basketball, rugby, cricket and polo they don't notice. You do make a good case about the Metal and the beer, though... hmm, I'll keep assessing my pro/con list, because even though there is "proper" beer in Europe it is all crazy expensive. I can always go back home (Mexico) and have AWESOME beer for 13 pesos... yup not even a DOLLAR for delicious brew.

Go to a supermarket in Berlin, choose any beer you want, and unless it's not some foreign import, you won't pay more than 79 cents per bottle. 79 cents, mind you, is pretty expensive.

Nice thing about living in sub-tropical climate zone, when snow falls once in a few years, you don't go to work. :D

It's one of the main skills you train when doing a Ph.D. :p Sorting potentially good ideas from ideas that are clearly useless. The problem is that you end up being depressed because you frequently realise that your own ideas are, in fact, rubbish ...

@Zare: For me to stay home from work due to snow fall, I guess the snow fall would have to be at least 50 cm overnight - otherwise, my boss would have very little understanding for my absence.
 
Rush and European freedom, Canada's specialities.

Also cute little beaver patches to sew onto your backpack. Politeness. We import Olympic gold medals in hockey.

Yup, same back home. The most expensive beer I bought last time I went was $25 pesos, a little over a dollar.

I want 79 cent beer! Here, that would taste like cat piss.

Ah, good ol' Pabst Blue Ribbon! There's a bar downtown that sells it for a buck lol. And I wouldn't know if it tastes like cat piss or any other kind of piss for that matter, because I am a drinker of cheap beer, not a seeker of urine, but I'd venture to say, judging from the aroma of said substances, they probably do taste the same.
 
After reading this thread, I have a question for you world travellers out there: does Canada have the most expensive beer in the world?
 
Hell no.

Thanks to a combination of a generally high price level, and absurd taxes on alcohol, my money are on my home country for that. In Norway, cheap beer costs $2 for a 1/3 l bottle. Yes, that is the cheap beer.

In pubs and restaurants, you won't find anyone charging less than $6 for a beer. $10 is more common.
