Any of your children born in Denmark will have your original nationality unless the other parent is a Dane, then they can be Danish.

That could be tough. Danish sounds like a German throwing up.

Having dual citizenship and Canada being a member of the Commonwealth Oz or New Zealand would be easy. But the Canadian Maritimes are as close to Nirvana as you can get.

I think that may be starting to change...it is still very much a class society and the recession has really hurt the UK. Those protests a few years back were evidence of this.


Of course their health care is better but you may have to wait for elective surgeries...but so do many here.

I've found that when traveling abroad for awhile, A Burger king, even A McDonalds cheeseburger tastes pretty damned good.....

I always made a point of hitting them in Singapore, Okinawa (expensive) and other places.
It is called McDoo in the Philippines.

The only McDonalds in Germany I'd hit with any frequency was in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. We'd pick up a quarter-pounder and a beer for the drive home from skiing. In this country, the only things they have that I can stomach are a couple of breakfast items and coffee.

The Jalapeno double at McDonalds is probably very unhealthy but tastes really great.

I believe there are restrictions for anyone over 50 who wants to move to Canada. There are work restrictions, you can't just show up there without a job and be unemployed. And not everybody can get a work permit. I found this webpage:

http://www.howtomovetocanada.net/disc.htm

This was in the Q&A:

Q: My wife and I are considering moving to Canada and want to be certain we can be covered by Canadian healthcare. We are both in excellent health but in our early 60's. What do we need to do to be eligible for healthcare?

A: In order to move to Canada, you will need to undergo a medical examination by a doctor from an approved list of physicians. (See pages 49-50 of HOW TO MOVE TO CANADA for more information about the exam.) If you and your wife pass that exam and are accepted by Canada as permanent residents, you will then be treated like any other Canadian.

So if you're over 50 you must pass a physical and be in good health so's you're not sucking up their healthcare dollars when you can be maltreated back in the good old USA.
