Edited by: Onus Mian on 08/04/2009 21:24:32 The UK is a pretty decent country and while we have have some economic and social problems I think you'd be hard pressed to find another country that doesn't. Your average British citizen is generally accepting of outside cultures as long as you don't shove it down their throat which rarely happens despite what popular tabloids like to report.
We have a national health service which is pretty good though is struggling a little under the weight of life-style related illnesses, mostly reliable and trustworthy police that are fully answerable for their actions, and an education system which although has its flaws is pretty good for the most part.
Our government is horrendously imcompetent but that seems to be the trend in British politics so we're somewhat apathetic towards the whole thing except when we find out government ministers are claiming expenses on **** and second homes which they are renting out for profit. Even then we're not really ones for violent protest or overthrowing the government so no worries there.

The British do love to complain, but we do have a great country. Yes, it has it's flaws, but I think it's one of the better places in the world (and if you feel strongly about these flaws, why not do something about it rather than just moaning).
Britain does have its deprived areas, as does every location. If you identify a place you are considering moving to, do a little research. Even places where I live have their holes, and I live in the South West of England (where the Hobbits come from).
As for racial tolerance, people may think we're all farmers around here, but we do have large oriental and arabic populations, and the tolerance is generally high. Again, you do get some racism, but that will rear its head anywhere where you are not in the majority.
All I'm trying to say is the Britian is generally a nice place to live, but it's not all flowers and roses (or crops and manure, to perpetuate the farmer theme).
As for the Netherlands, I quite liked it when I was there. Some of the urban areas are a little seedy, but again this is hardly unusual. Some of the country around is very nice.
I've never had the fortune to visit Japan or China, but I do hope to at some point.

Some links you might like: Blog of a british game developer living in the Netherlands. Blog of an American English teacher living in Japan.
Both might not be exactly your situation, but they do describe cultural eyebrow raisers of both countries in an insightful and humoristic way.
