I'm in Switzerland, which doesn't really count since everyone speaks some degree of English. I don't like how nothing is open past 7 in the evening, and how the ridiculous number of coffee breaks makes it impossible for me to find the people I need when i need them, and how meals drag on for ever. Switzerland is also priced much higher than it's worth in terms of basically everything (food, clothing, rent...). I've been here over a year, going back to the US at the end of July and not a moment too soon 
Consider yourself luck that things close at 7 pm. Here in Scotland everything close at 5
yes i am not joking 5 . This is one of the reasons why i cant wait to move (hopefully very soon)Germany here. I like it a lot. There are positives and negatives to it of course, like everything. Seems like a nice clean, well structured, mature society with good quality public services, high standard of living at a reasonable cost.
It can be too bureaucratic, too structured and sometimes unfriendly... and sometimes the German is a bit overwhelming
Been here almost two years and no plans to return home or travel further just yet.

Bless your patriotism.

Surely you can find a chipshop open past 5 so you can buy a deep fried mars bar?
I live in Canada, so we have a lot of people speaking English and some speaking French. Staying home for a while to come.
I thought everyone spoke English. Ugh, now I have to learn other languages and accept/appreciate different cultures when I travel.
The Caucasus, actually Georgia. Climate wonderful, range of food astonishingly good, scenery stunning and the ancient city of Tbilisi has a delapidated charm which I find rather attractive.
Politically, one could say that things could be a lot better and overall, it is a country where I'd say the inhabitants, the males especially, are a bit work-shy. I find some of the traditions a bit trying, to put it mildly.
I have been here since last September, and expect to be here for another year, at least; however, I'm going on leave next week, and must confess it is badly needed.
Cheers and good luck
