Psychology and sociology. I'm on the fence about what I'm going to minor in and what I'm going to major in.

And I think I'll pass on moving to the northernmost settlement on earth. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't survive the cold.

Psychology and sociology? That's pretty cool. I always found them so opposing at uni. One being about the internal, the other about the external. Brain vs. society. One of my majors ended up being sociology, but psych took up wayyy too much of my time so I didn't end up majoring in it.

I have citizenship in both Canada and the US. I was born in Detroit. My parents were living in Windsor, Ontario at the time. Before 1998, I think, if you were born in the US or in a Commonwealth country to one parent with Canadian citizenship, you automatically received it as well as citizenship in the country you were born in. They don't do that anymore, but it's easier for that child to get Canadian citizenship as opposed to somebody who doesn't have Canadian parents.

Dual citizenship offers a lot of opportunities to the person. For example, when I was choosing post-secondary schools to apply to, I had an extensive choice of schools all over Canada and the US. I chose a school in a city just west of Toronto because it offered the kind of program and degree that I want. If I chose an American school, I wouldn't have to pay the international tuition fee. If you have citizenship, they consider you a domestic student. You don't need an address in the US. I believe it works the same for Canada. I'm thinking about grad school in the US because their graduate music programs (Master of Music and/or a PhD in the field of music) come from schools with more credibility, like Berklee College of Music or Juilliard (though it's very hard to get into Juilliard). Though the University of Toronto has an excellent grad program in music, if I decide to stay in Canada.

Dual citizenship also offers you the opportunity to live and/or work in either country without having to get a Visa, of course. Sometimes both, but of course this only works if the cities are close to each other. For example, if you live in Niagara Falls, NY, you could work in Niagara Falls, ON. My parents were living in Windsor and my mom was working in Detroit (both cities are situated on the Detroit River).

I'm not sure about being able to vote in both countries though. I think you need to have a valid address in a constituency in the other country to be able to participate in elections.

I have dual. Australian and Italian/ EU. Although my dad was born in Australia he is Italian which meant I could get an Italian passport. Italy is part of the European Union as well which means I can live and work as a citizen anywhere in the European Union. I haven't used this advantage yet but hopefully when I've finished studying and have some money I can explore that part of the world!

Oh, and there was no exam or anything that I had to sit. It purely goes by family members' citizenship/background and where they are from in this case of an EU passport.

And yes, you need a valid address in most countries to be able to vote. I can't vote in Italy's elections at this current point in time unless I have a valid postal address/ am actually currently living over there.

How often do Europeans eat burgers/hot dogs?

I'm not listed as foreign yet but since I'm European I thought it might be ok for me to chip in.

I think the answer to this question depends on the country/region and the age group. I think Western/Northern Europeans eat more burgers and hot dogs (in general) than the Mediterranean countries do for example. They seem to be more healthy further down south. But when it comes to the Mediterranean, the amount of young people indulging in fast food is probably about the same as in the North.

In Sweden (where I'm from) you'll find combined hamburger, kebab and hot dog stands/kiosks on almost every street corner and you can easily find 3-5 McDonald's restaurants within a mile's radius in downtown Stockholm so people do seem to eat fast food a lot. But on the other hand, it's not very common to serve hamburgers or hot dogs at home for lunch or dinner. In my family we maybe had pizza a few times a year tops, the same with hamburgers or hot dogs. We mostly had "proper" food (fish, chicken, meat, rice, pasta, potatoes etc).

I'm just wondering if baseball is popular anywhere else in the world besides here in North America and the Caribbean, and maybe Japan? I'm guessing the answer is no because it's an American sport...

Burgers? Hmm, I had one just yesterday. I guess I eat burgers maybe 5 to 10 times a year or something. Half the time or more, these will be homemade, in the kitchen or on the grill.

I eat hot dogs now and then, much more frequent than burgers. I love hot dogs

To Burning Down, just about noone here cares about Baseball. It's something that happens in America and that's about it.

That's not really true. Baseball is also very big in Japan, South Korea, and in parts of the Caribbean.

I would have thought that the Caribbean would be more synonymous with Cricket rather than Baseball.
