When I'm writing certain page address in address bar it gets changed according to my location. If I for example write google.com then I will end on page google.<country code> Of course I will also get the page in the language of the country I'm in (language which sometimes I do not speak). Can one do something so that if I write x.com then it STAYS com instead of redirecting me to a .country/language???

A lot of websites do a look up on your IP (reverse DNS lookup) and automatically send you to a site in the local language.
Google is one of them and you need to click the link at the bottom of the Google site to go to Google.com (www.google.com/webhp)

The only way to override that is to use an anonymous proxy that gives you an IP that locates you elsewhere.
