Canada
Canada is the second largest country in the world and surprisingly most of it's land is uninhabited. Canada covers 6 time zones and is divided into 10 provinces and two territories and the three main leading cities are Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. Many of you might picture Canada as a country blanketed in snow were the sun never shines, however I must prove you and myself wrong as the sun does shine and the temperature reaches a high of 30 degrees in the summer months.

Canada is rich in history and in cultural traditions and nonetheless well known for it's raw beauty and clean air. It is also commonly known for it's outstanding standard of living, cleanliness and it's welcoming people. It is commonly known for it's winter sports such as ice hokey and skiing and for hosting the winter Olympics. It is no surprise that the United Nations voted Canada as the best place to live in for many consecutive years. Canada is a diverse, dynamic and multicultural country which you will discover from reading this guide.

USA
In the last century the United States emerged as the world power in almost every sphere of life including industry, science, sports, medicine, space technology, agricultural, and nuclear energy. The sound economic systems of the United States are based primarily on the Capitalist Model, with some government regulations in industries. The country is rich in mineral resources and it has extensive gold, oil, coal, and uranium deposits. The United States is a net exporter of food, and its rich wheat fields have been referred to as the breadbasket of the world, thus making its farm sector a one of the largest. The currency of the United States is the American Dollar and it has a relatively strong value in the financial markets. Although there is no official language, American English is believed to be the predominant language of America with Spanish coming in a close second.

For the tourist the USA has something to offer everyone - the beaches and theme parks of Florida, the 24 hour entertainment and gambling of Las Vegas - the New York sky-line and shopping - the west coast style and laid back living of San Francisco and Los Angeles - skiing in Aspen - the mountains of the Rockies and the dramatic landscapes of the Grand Canyon - the diverse cultures of it's people from the Creoles to the Native American Indians - the problem you will have is simply what to choose.

Coober Pedy in South Australia is known as the opal capital of the world. Its population is made up of more than 40 nationalities and, with year-round extremes in temperature, more than 50 per cent of the population live in below-ground 'dugouts'.

New Zealand
New Zealand has a population of about 4.1 million and among the South Pacific nations, New Zealand has the largest and most industrialised economy and is second only to Papua New Guinea in population. Although most of the population hails from Europe originally, there is in a minority, the indigenous Maori peoples. New Zealand has extensive marine resources, with the fifth largest Exclusive Economic Zone in the world covering over 4 million square Km, which is more than 15 times the landmass. New Zealand is considered by some to be isolated from the whole world and therefore, the extraordinary flora and fauna of New Zealand attracts the eye like nothing else- awesome mountains and wonderful sea beaches. Kiwi is the world famous word from it's unique citrus fruit that has made its name synonymous with the country. New Zealand is heavily dependent on trade, which mainly includes agricultural products like sheep & dairy products which are exported. Owing to the islands being surrounded by gurgling waters, New Zealand is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and travelers often feel closer to nature while in this most extraordinarily beautiful of countries.
