[Intro]00:36~01:16
Hey guys, how’s it going? As you know, a lot of people flew to the states to get COVID-19 vaccine shots. So, apparently, America is probably the best country to get a shot. But what about living? Is it also the best place to live in? Or is it somewhere else? Personally, I think Sweden is the best country to live in ‘cause Swedish are the sexiest people in the world! They’re tall, slim, and they’re just gorgeous!!! I hope I will be able to date a Swedish someday. Anyways, watch the video and you’ll know which country is the best for expats. Now, let’s take a look at the sentence!
