    I'm quite happy being English. However, the poorest and worst educated people I've met seem to be happiest... Maybe next time I could be a Masai or Aboriginal, please :)

          Most of times the grass is not greener on the other side. I am satisfied with I can get in my culture.

            As Andrew Marr said at the end of his excellent History of Modern Britain series last year, "it [...] remains a fantastic stroke of luck to be born British". :) Whatever people say about the UK, you could do a lot worse!

                  I’d like to be an Ichirgu Boil/this is something similar to general/ in the Bulgarian medieval cavalry! Shiny armor, sharp sword and a long spear – the chicks are dieing for this kind of thinks.

                      If I had a choice I'd choose Canadian again. We really have nothing to complain about (though we often do).

                          LOL, I'm pretty sure they did not wear armor, at least not metal armor, more like leather or chain mail or something like that.

                                    Despite the fact that my surname is totally un-Bong-like and totally Maharashtrian sounding, you've asked me this before.

                                      Nothing to do with your surname really. I couldn't differentiate between Maharashtrian and Bong names anyway. I remember talking to you a few years back on the phone and I remember you telling me you were not Tamil - and then I believe you told me you were Maharashtrian, but for some reason Bong stuck in my mind :-) I'll remember from now. Btw are Maharashtrians and Marathis related in any way?
