The countries I'd never go:
War zones
Countries ruled with sharia or dictatorship regimes
High crime-low security, dangerous countries
Countries with bad tropical diseases with no vaccine or prevention method (diseases like dengue fever)

Vietnam, Cambodia, Uzbekistan, Libya, Cuba.

It's too expensive to eat out, burgers and pizzas are unhealthy and make you fat, everyone cooks at home. I like some of the traditional Finnish food but I learned the recipes and cook everything at home.

I'm never bored, I have so many things to do and not enough time, I like social activity but I have more than enough at club camp events twice a year, book conventions and festivals where I see everyone. Daily interaction -no time for that, I'd rather do it online where I can do other things at the same time.

Small chops, salads (even though some were mixed with mayonnaise.. and i really hate mayonaisse!), fruits and fries were basically my saviours.. I stayed longer than anticipated, though the cost was not on my neck, i felt for my friend.. Some meals cost as much as €52 per person! Its good to know that you've taken up my own mantle of boredom..
Try and make them lively though.. Incase I end up showing up again..

Before Buhari, we had presidents. No difference.
If you want to really serve, you don't need to buy votes or bribe.

bro, i owe you one create of Origin-zero for this comment

South Africa- I can't stand false accusation
Middle East countries - that is killing capital
Libya- we know them
Venezuela- annoying gang wahala

Somalia

That's true and that's precisely why I live here: they leave me f*** alone. Unlike the Americans who are eager to greet and make smalltalk with strangers.
I love the freedom of not being bothered by anyone when I'm out and about. The only annoying thing is drunks talking gibberish and beggars.

I had a Nigerian colleague who was living in Finland with wife (also Nigerian) and baby daughter, he said he and his wife were both bored and depressed from the long dark winters with only 4-5 hours of sunlight (around the winter solstice sun sets about 3 pm and it gets pitch dark) they were looking into moving to the UK. They hated being locked up at home a winter cause of the extreme cold and dark.

Of you are an introvert and love the cold weather it's great. Otherwise it can be really depressing.

Sounds like a perfect place for freelancers

anybody can make it anywhere, it's just something we have no control and that's what destiny is..

I'd never go to hell if given a visa BUT TBH if I lived in a Good and secure country I'd never live in present nigeria instead I'd invest!
But here am I in Africa, what choice do I have when I ain't gotten enough capital!

Did you give credit to Eminem's Mockingbird for using his lyrics in the first paragraph?

What's wrong with the Asian countries?

India's caste system repulses me, Nigerian guys have made Malaysia a den of drug barons, fraudsters, etc and Turkey is mostly Islamic.

Eating out is one thing I miss from America, it's so cheap even the dead broke poor people can afford to go to a half-decent diner.

Here it's a luxury for special occasions like wedding anniversary. There is cheap work lunch buffet where they have decent food, it's not the best but quite ok.
I've never paid €50 or even €40 for a meal, no way! I can cook the best steaks for 2 and it still won't cost anywhere near that.

Finns are lively when they are drunk. Not when they are sober.

Nigeria

India

And that's the major reason why I left Finland four years ago. It's not just about the introverted people, but also the winter, darkness and geographical isolation. The country is so big that everything is just far away. And to leave the country by air is so damn expensive, and almost no direct flight.

For an average Nigerian, Finland and largely Scandinavian countries will be hell to live permanently.

The country I'll never visit is Yemen. If you wanna know why, then read about the native African people living there for centuries and still enslaved.

Winter and darkness isn't forever, it is balanced by the long summer days. I don't leave the country too often (other than going to Tallinn) but when I do I find cheap tickets from momondo or flyhacks. It's cheap if you buy well in advance. I love doing road trips in summer, and foraging for food and taking photos in the wilderness. I think it would be total hell for people from big cities and hot sunny places.

Helsinki isn't even that bad, Rovaniemi is a village when you compare and has almost 2 months of long night where you don't see the light of day.

Fierce11:
1. Finland...
They are extremely silent beings that really don't care about personal interaction with strangers..
2. Kenya and zimbabwe...
They are too weird and sexual.. Before they use me for Bondage and Dominance and Sado-Masochistic (BDSM) experiment.
3. Albania..
Because i just hate the name

1 is very true
