Sorry to any American's on here, but i like my bullshit, superficiality and crap a little more toned down.

I have visited New York and San Diego, nice to visit but didn't want to stay and not keen on going back - well, maybe San Francisco just to look at the up and down streets with the trams on though.

Now, if it had been a choice between Australia and Canada, I would have been more torn in my decision.

Me too but I think as I get older the Canadian weather would get to me more.

I love visiting America and have been to several different places.
I felt a great connection with New York and hope I get back there one day.
However; the gun culture, lack of holiday and health system means I have never considered living there.

Comparing the USA with Australia is like comparing the complete works of shakespeare with a throwaway paperback novel you leave by the pool...
